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 haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
