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!

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Really? Yes you are probably right as I know from personal experience with Guys… as I claiming travel costs back, that no one told me I could claim! Left hand does not know what right hand is doing regarding admin..  If they charged people for wasting overstretched staff in A& E as in not urgent just might deter people from wasting precious time…. But then you need interpreters, to explain if language is a barrier and admin staff to administer..  Correct me if I am wrong but is there not a train from Denmark Hill or East Dulwich which goes to London Bridge? Would be faster than 2 buses I would have thought.    Oh, forgot about Tessa Jowell but thought you needed GP referral in which case, that would be the place to go rather than a bigger hospital. Know there is one in Beckenham and you can call and they will give you an idea as to wait time…..same I hope at TJ…assuming they answer phone.. If one really things about it…too many  people in London for example and to few hospitals…

      Northcross Rd market extra opening days ?

      By bonaome · Posted

      I don’t think it’s licensed for Sundays. It is licences for Fridays, but there hasn’t been anyone there on a Friday for years. So I doubt it. i think there’s a market at the Horniman on Sundays. Also pretty sure there’s one outside Herve Hill station on a Sunday.

      I believe there is a minor injuries department at Guys, though I may have misremembered. Not very convenient for SE22 now the 40 no longer goes near. You have to get 2 buses or a train. Charging people (not sure if you mean financially or legally) would waste a lot more time, I would have thought? And  a bad bruise could be serious, depending on the cause and possibly other symptoms.
