annaJ - you can't beat a LBD and I'm loving that dressing room story.


I have LBD that I bought from Bravissimo in Covent Garden. It's an every-day dress that you throw in the washing machine and I wear it so much that I bought another one as back-up before they discontinue it. It's just a plain jersey dress but it fits properly, which is nothing short of a miracle. Bravissimo is briliant for bigger than average lady-bumps because you get to pick different sizes for your bottom half and top half so that clothes actually fit.

OMG giggirl, I have two fantastic Bravissimo LBDs.

One wrap around and this one, but in black (although i love it so much I'm thinking of getting the purple and the red...

(worn at SeanMac's birthday party and recieved many compliments - admittedly mostly from a somewhat tipsy Jah Lush, but still...)


Bravissimo is life changing, isn't it?

Bravissimo is fabulous. It's nice to have dresses actually fit without spending a fortune on getting them made/altered. I've seen that purple dress in the catalogue but I haven't tried it on. It has a 1940s feel to it, don't you think? It's very unusual to wear a Bravissimo dress and NOT get complimented because they are specially designed for women with curves.

I didn't even know they did dresses, thought of them as a bra place. Am definately going to have to investigate because I am definitely more than a bit curvy!


My favourite dress ever was one my mum made me when I was a student. I still have it tucked away in a suitcase though I never expect to be slim enough to wear it again, and it would probably look rather dated now.


It was a shot taffeta ballgown, but instead of being shot with black it was blue and green so it was this shimmery peacock blue colour which was quite unusual among all the black dresses most others were wearing. (I can't wear black anyway, it makes me look ill) And it was a perfect fit - mum did a great job with the boned bodice. I used to get loads of complements on it, was a real pleasure to wear.

    • I dont get complaining if nothing is broken? If you dont like the parcel service just buy your products elsewhere which ship with a different company. simple fix🤷‍♀️
    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
