A New Year and a new Toast thread 🎊

[IlovePond]

Welcome to the Toast thread where we talk about what we love, (and what drives us mad 😹), about all things Toast.

As usual, pictures are welcomed, as are comments, questions and info about Toastie topics.

@ShrankLastWinter
there's a size 10 organza skirt on website now.

I just ordered some knee socks, so thanks whoever mentioned those. Also trying (again, ordered and returned last sale too!) the navy Ikat jacket and also the sleeveless linen vneck dress. Was hoping the chambray lounge shorts would reappear but so far no.

@BettinaInDenmark - nothing like a bit of sludgy green - that looks really good together. I'm still deciding on whether to keep mine!

I'm just off to see what's been restocked. When do the further reductions happen?

Nearly forgot .. @ScottishMouse thanks for letting me know about the hemming of the cords. Did you get them shaped so they went in at the end, or just left as is when they were shortened?

@ScallopShellWalk damn, missed it! Unless I’m being a twit and just can’t see it? Thank you!

@ShrankLastWinterI think it’s me! I’ve just bought the size 10. I can sometimes be a 12 so if it’s too small and I love it, we could swap???

@faustina they just got left as is, so there may be a little less taper to them, but I can’t say I noticed.
Tbh I don’t think the legs keep their shape well, so the taper effect is a bit lost after they’ve been worn an hour or two anyway.

@flatcoatfan fantastic, please let me know! I’ll measure the waist of my 12 in the meantime.

I have just bought the Eden cardi. I’m not sure how many times I have tried it on, including having bought and returned once. I like my knitwear oversized so was going to go for L (I am usually a Toast M), but ended up going for the XL as the L seemed neither here nor there. Now I’m wondering if I went too large. Does anyone wear theirs quite oversized?

Had a lovely mooch around both toast shops at Kilver court yesterday. Bought the blue stripe cashmere neat sweater and sized up as I prefer a loose fit and the double faced pyjamas in grey - so cosy.

I have had a moment of madness and ordered the silk gown (Deo?). I received the matching pyjama trousers last week and they are divine. I also ordered the triangular silk bandana scarf. I wear a scarf at all times. I have Nora Ephron-style upsets about the state of my neck!

If anyone fancies an Asawa checked linen shirt in M, there’s one on Crisis website for £24.
I have this shirt and love it, very pared down Japanese and lovely alone or over a t shirt, it’s really beautiful weight linen .

OK, Just seen that the Asawa is on EBay listed by Crisis, so at that price it won’t last long!

@ScottishMouse I have three Eden cardigans. The latest in that beautiful red is a L and I usually go M. I wanted something quite slouchy. Works well I think.

The gown is gorgeous!

Thanks @Primrosespaw Having tried it on again, I think L would be better, so I will swap it. Such a soft gorgeous thing, isn’t it?

I bought the Eden cardie in red M when someone here kindly posted about a discount at another shop. It’s very nice but on the diddy side, even though M is usually generous on me now. Rather wished I’d gone for L. M is fine but quite short and I think the style might be better looser.

@ScottishMouse it is like a hug. Love them!

Lurker here, de-lurking to ask whether anyone on this thread has the pleated wrap denim culottes? I've looked at them approximately a million times, put them into my basket and taken them out again... Are they as flattering as the reviews say or would they make a short size 14-16 person look huge with pools of denim round my feet? In my head I'm looking like a Japanese architect, but I'm worried this might not be achievable in real life.

I was in my (not very) local Sainsbury’s shop today and whilst browsing the clothes for their sometimes hidden gems, I did indeed find a “gem” - this blouse. It feels like cotton, and is a great shape. You do need to size down at least 2 sizes though as it’s huge! I bought a size 8 and I’m generally a 12-14.

I received two more parcels today and finally managed to try on some received on Monday. I’m keeping the grey melange pyjamas in a L, also the full price quilted trousers (which finally arrived after being delivered to the wrong village).

I’ve sent back the patch pocket dungarees, I sized down to a S but they still swamped me on the legs and the bib, whilst feeling tight where the buttons fasten.

I'm still undecided between the embroidered mini stripe shirt or dress. I was hoping for further reductions but everything seems very behind in this sale.

I also have a sale skirt I’m undecided about as I like both the crinkle skirt and the railroad stripe skirt from the new drop, but they both look as if they will be very long on me at 5' 4”.

@Theteapotsbrokenspout id very much like to hear about the sizing on that railroad (surely railway? tsk) skirt when you get it!

I got the gown also, and hope there will be a pair of the trousers available in XL again... probably a futile wish.

Thanks for that @AFingerofFudge looks very much like the one I bought from Toast in the summer. A real favourite.

@BettinaInDenmark you may be lucky I managed to get an S last night so returns are popping up.

Thanks for telling! I will try keeping my eyes peeled and/or give CS a call
