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 usually use Mason and Green recently to get to Heathrow. They arrived early and were extremely reliable. The cars are immaculate and had friendly drivers. They also provide child seats for all ages. Used them at 6am. 
    • I think you can write to your local council to get the street cleaned more regularly. Also the may put more posters up to remind ppl to do clean up 
    • Absolutely right.  The other issue is that rescue centres like Celia Hammond make it nearly impossible to adopt a kitten or cat that desperately needs a home. I know many many people who have tried to adopt and have been refused, and only one couple who have been deemed to have a good enough home. The reasons people have been refused have been that they aren't in a position to take two kittens - unless it's changed recently you weren't considered unless you took 2 as cats  wouldn't be homed without a companion. But lots of people can't afford to feed and insure 2 pets. Another reason I've heard several times is that the potential adoptee lives on a road, not an A road or the south circular but just a road. But what is the other option they're looking for? A country estate? Another reason a couple of friends have been refused is that they have jobs and Celia Hammond said that they were looking for people who were at home all day . So again, what are they looking for? People who can afford not to work?  We are told 'adopt don't shop' but out of the many many families or individuals I know who have tried to give a loving home to a kitten / cat literally only a couple have been accepted, so have ended up buying a kitten. People who have had cats all their lives and adore cats. Of course it's important that adoptees are vetted but it's problematic that cat charities are deciding that a cat / kitten without a home would rather live in a cage at a rescue centre than with a loving person who has a job or lives on a road or cannot afford to pay for the upkeep of more than one pet. My friend has recently tried for months to adopt kittens or cats through various centres and although she was prepared to take two, was rejected by all rescue centres  as she lives on a (quiet) residential road in ED and doesn't work from home every day. She works from home 3 days a week. It's insane.
