OK I know I love to be rude about the Toast catalogue - but ooooooh my djellaba has arrived!

[LadyoftheBathtub]

And I love it! Soooo big and warm and soft and long and all-encompassing - loads of space for my pg bump too. It is total sofa-snuggling winter perfection. It is a bit pricey but I'm getting it for my birthday

Admittedly I look like some kind of medieval monk/hobbit hybrid and perhaps style and beauty isn't quite the place I should be with this but... there isn't an "ugly but snuggly" topic...

if it's in stock at sale time it goes in the sale afaik you want to get on their mailing list to get a heads up.

good god. mine cost about £15 if that from marrakech. what a mark up.

well, I certainly won't be buying a djellaba any time soon

Harrumph, where are all the Toast-lovers for my thread?

I know it's expensive but it isn't actually a real Moroccan djellaba made by blind orphans and costing 4 pence in a marrakesh market. It's a double-layer brushed flannel piece of poshoness and was probably hand-stitched in Malvern by lovely ladies called Daphne.

It's isn't that lovely to look at, but I can imagine just how cosy it is. Bit of a dodgy colour though-so many of their colours are so bloody worthy.

this is fugly but functional at least i suppose
casts around for other things to say...

i know!!!!

I've seen nicer horse blankets

I was going to say what a great contraceptive that is but I see it's too late for that.

OMG

Unless your husband has a Makka Pakka fetish, don't do it

Ha ha but you see I wouldn't wear it in bed - starkers or nightie in bed, djellaba on for breakfast and lounging.

pmsl makka pakka fetish

Well he does actually, so there.

(not really )

I too have a lovelty collection of Toast catalogues. Won't be buying one of those lumpy sack dress things though. sorry.

That doesn't narrow it down much jemart!

At least mine isn't meant to be seen by the public

hi

seriously £75, i could have gotten u a hundred of them from egypt for that price, and posted them to u as well again al included in the price, actually would have sent u 20 quid back lol

OMG!
You could have bought a lovely silky womans abaya, with beautiful embroidery on it.
Really, that is a sack, with sleeves.
@ £75

Everyone stop being mean to Lady! She's comfy, warm and happy. In a suspect outfit, admittedly, but one of her own choosing.

er excuse me mine was not made by blind orphans mine was made by a tailor well known to my family. how judgemental.

Yes, but the djellaba is an outdoor garment, this is the style usually worn by men. The womens version is more like ann abaya, usually with intricate embroidery.
Stilll if op is happy, then good for her.
