It has a bad rep... but Croydon. Its easy on the overground. It has an LK Bennett, a well stocked House of Fraser and all the other fashion brands like Zara and that. If I want to torture myself and become an irate grumpy old woman I go into town.... this is rare though.

Zeleb is a great service - I can't praise it highly enough. Everything is made to measure and the fabrics are good quality. If you go to the order page for any of the dresses and see the quantity of measurements that they ask for then you can see how thorough they are. If it doesn't fit when you get it you can even send it back for alteration. Frankly if it doesn't fit it's more likely to be your fault than theirs. Great site and great service. The current dresses aren't really to my taste though - they are a little floaty for me - I like the more fitted cocktail dresses (very Mad Men) and there aren't too many of those on the site at the moment.


Yes I do agree though Dita - I wish I went to more black tie events. I'm contemplating a trip to Lordship Lane right now and wondering how many layers I need to wear to keep out the cold - so yes, the prospect of slipping into something strapless with accompanying high heels isn't going to happen for me any time soon. Shame.

Exactly Dita - very thorough measuring and the dresses are nice and the quality good and the service excellent and nobody else is going to be wearing the same dress as you.


The most important thing is confidence. You can't look good and be sexy without confidence. You can't be confident if you're hitching your dress up or pulling it down all night. If a dress is tailored to your body it fits perfectly and you look great and feel confident. Sadly, so many women only ever experience this with their wedding dresses.

So true - I adjust all my clothes myself otherwise I look ridiculous.


I wish I had known about this earlier - my sister is getting married in vegas to avoid a big fat northern family wedding and bought a purple frock from Debenhams - Ma is going to spend the next 3 weeks adjusting it, this site would have been perfect and unique. I will post it to her before the needlework starts!

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      A quick update - my InPost parcels are being accepted sporadically at Barry's, but only one at a time and every few days, after many refusals - one was refused SEVEN times over about ten days - and several phone calls. As a comparison, I had a message from Yodel that a parcel that was going to Barry's is being delivered to another nearby store, which is interesting...

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme  Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth  the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.

      We also recommend Aaron.  Very reliable, reasonably priced and did a fantastic job on our hallway and bedroom ceiling.  A pleasure to work with and left the house very tidy at the end of the job.  Thank you
