Not really sure where to start here.

We are eloping to nYC for an Xmas wedding due to a melt down in family politics planning our wedding for next year. I absolutely can't afford a dress at all right now - money is at an all-time low.


I am a size 10-12 dress but with a very large bust (32F). I'm looking for a dress to wear on December 28th for a quick civil ceremony at City Hall. I would bring the dress with me onto the plane and hang it on board, rather than pack it. I would happily leave you a deposit too, should you want.


I just wondered on the off chance if any lovely ladies out there have a (practical) wedding dress in their cupboard that I could borrow for a quick winter wedding in NYC. I will of course dry clean it prior to return and I'd look after it with care and love.


Can anyone help this here runaway bride? ;-)


Thank you, thank you xx

I would love to loan you a wedding dress, but I got married in black... on my due date... and Litte Saff was born the next day. :-0


Good luck, I hope you find a dress. I see them come up for sale from time to time on local forums, fairly inexpensive. You could also try posting on some of the local FaceBook groups?


Eloping to NYC sounds fab! xx

Congrats marmite. Unfortunately we aren't the same size (especially in the bust!) otherwise I certainly would have. I believe there are services available that allow you to rent wedding dresses for a pretty reasonable fee.


Good luck with you winter nuptials!

Hi Saffron, dry cleaning a wedding dress is very expensive, I think potentially around the ?100 mark, so you might find it's cheaper to just buy one second hand for around the same price and then not bother dry cleaning after wearing it. Just in case you missed it, this post was in the For Sale section: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?9,1735768,1735768#msg-1735768

Hi Marmite-love


I have a lilac thin strap bridesmaid dress if that is any good, it's ankle length. You didnt state what colour you wanted. It has lilac roses around the bust and I think its a size 12-14. running away to get married sounds very exciting.

Asos! They have a ruched bandeau white dress which you can get in a 10/12 for ?13! It's floor length , all you'd need is a pair of shoes , hair accessory should you wish. You can even google a veil if you want one and you'll find a cheap one.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
