Toasties looking forward to sun, summer and sales ☀️

[IlovePond]

Hi,
As promised, here is the new thread.

All are welcome to chat about all things Toast, and any related topics!

Ooh snap @Whowhatwerewolf 😄

I'm not sure about the process you mean, but this below worked for me:

Close Toast site

Firefox > Settings > Privacy and security > Clear data for specific sites > Enter "toa.st" in the search box (it has a full stop in the name) >Remove selected > Save changes

Reopen Toast site and allow cookies

Note: it removes all your Toast data so if you've got something in your bag it will clear it

I’ve only just seen the posts about further reductions and chat is now closed - I’ve emailed about the belted cotton twill trousers as they’ve been reduced by £20.

Does anyone here have the Open Stitch Knitted Linen Cotton Polo (non sale)? I've been looking at it since it first dropped and think I may have to order it to try it out. I'm just not sure how it'd fit into my current wardrobe.

I've finally decided to return the Cotton Twill Belted Trousers. I see those have had an extra reduction since I ordered them. Not enough for me to want to keep them though!

There’s been a restock overnight, lots of ops items and sizes are back. Of course I have made a last last order for some Bronwen trousers 🤦‍♀️

Yes, @ShadowViolet, tea towel dress now available in all sizes again (it’s obviously not pleasing everyone).

It's really weird - the belted twill trousers have not been further reduced when I'm at the Euro part of the website. And I believe it is the same with some of the other things, I have bought.
Also -if you are buying in Euro, take care. Usually, the prices in Euro is 1,5xGBP prices, rounded up to nearest 0 or 5. But at the moment, some Euro prices are 2xGBP prices. I hope this is a mistake. Allready 1,5x is rather steep for having Toast doing the customs declarations etc.

1 Euro is 7.47 DKK, and 1 GBP is 8.74 DKK in todays rates; so even though our VAT is around 5% higher here in Denmark than it is in the UK, the difference is pretty huge. But heck, I keep buying from Toast anyway...

I'm wanting to order the Wool Linen Double Breasted Jacket

It looks like all sizes are available, so maybe it is not an ideal item. Any experiences with this jacket?

@BettinaInDenmark thats quite tough, to see the price differences. I know when I buy things from abroad I try not to think of the difference. Also, if you want it what can you do? But hearing of price drops and you don’t get them, I don’t understand that.

@ScottishMouse I managed to get a nice scarf that had been oos. I’m pleased with that.

@BettinaInDenmark I wondered about that jacket too. I think it looks lovely and the price is good. In the end I realised that it won’t be warm enough for me to use it when I’d like. It’s cold and wet here a lot and I prefer walking in the elements. In the warmer weather I wouldn’t want to wear this. Maybe it would work for you.

Of course I missed most of the restock- typical that it happens the one time recently I actually get some sleep 🙀

Contemplating trying the FM sandals -again and the linen tank. Does anyone have the latter? The one reduced to £65 that dome reviews say is too heavy?

Thanks

If it is the cotton linen knitted tank, I agree. It is really heavy, so I have sent it back. Was thinking that I would only wear a sleeveless tank in very warm weather, and then this one would def be to heavy for that.

Thanks @BettinaInDenmark - that’s really helpful- I would want it for summer so it sounds like it wouldn’t work for me. Shame because it looks so pretty!

@IlovePond , I love the linen knitted tanks and I’m holding out for the green striped one, not in sale. I first saw these in the shop and the lady was pairing it with a t-shirt under it, so it could be worn when the weather isn’t so warm too. I have a buttoned linen knitted tank and I wear it a lot in these warm but not too warm days, though mainly open over a t-shirt.

@IlovePond though the longer self coloured ones do look possible warmer.

Thanks @ScallopShellWalk

The restock only started about 5.30 @IlovePond so maybe you didn’t miss much.

I have ordered the tablecloth dress in a smaller size to see how it/if it fits. Did anyone keep this? Did you size down?

Re the cookies, thanks for ll the hints. In the end I found where it says cookies at the very bottom of the top page and went in that way and it worked.

Thanks also for the heads up about the price drop. I got a refund of £22 , now what could I spend it on?

@IlovePondis it the red striped one with the buttons? I bought it (at £80!!) and have worn it today. I was considering sending back but a)love it and b) have just spilt a load of coffee down it so will keep it.
it’s light but probably too warm to wear at the moment. I like it as a layering top.
I’ve also just bought a green olive jumpsuit; wondering what that will be like.

@stnvcfo - it’s the solid colour long one - sleeveless, no buttons. It’s available in black and a sort of orange colour.

I hate Toast’s too short tees/tops/jumpers, etc. So this one looked hopeful - but not if it’s too heavy/warm for summer 😿

I called Toast to ask why the further markdowns for some items was only on the UK site, and not the one with prices in Euro. Apparently it is because the further markdowns should not have gone live before tomorrow, and somehow they went live on the UK site by some mistake.

@IlovePond i have tried that tank in the past. I loved the shape and length, but agree it is too heavy for summer. It is the same as the linen cotton sweater they always do, if you know that and how heavy it feels. I couldn’t see when I would wear it as I wanted to wear it alone rather than with something underneath, and would only wear sleeveless in warm weather, but then the weight is too much.

@Countmeout , do you mean this one? I am a standard 12 and ordered the small and it is PLENTY big enough. I have actually registered it for a return but I keep looking at it and wondering if that is the right thing to do! Will try it on again before deciding.

I too ordered the betlted twill trousers in both colourways. Toast suggested a 10 and I ignored this and ordered 12s but they were right (they aren’t always), the 12s are huge so have reordered both in a 10 at the reduced price.

Ditto I ordered the 10 on the twill culottes jumpsuit and while it fits, it felt like it would irritate around the waist after a big meal or at the end of the day so I have a 12 (which appeared overnight last week, I expect a return) that arrives today and hopefully isn’t too big.

This is the one, beautiful in the flesh but hoping the 12 isn’t too big and doesn’t gap at the top.

Yes @ToastCosILoveIt that one. I would say I’m a 12 in the real world on top and got the small . I had looked at the measurements and wondered afterwards should I have tried XS. Fortunately it restocked this morning and I have ordered it to see. The small is a bit big on my shoulders I feel.
Kimbotanner on instagram had turned the sleeves up and I tried that and it does take care of the too wide imo sleeves .

i think it is incredibly well made with french seams, beautifully rolled ties and a deep hem. I think it one of the best made dresses I have bought for sometime.

Goodness, you’re moving me to the ‘must keep’ camp 🙂
