Exactly - for me buying lingerie needs to be discreet, changing rooms you feel secure in, supportive staff and a good range of sizes..

I never went in there just knew they didn't last long. Now I probably know why.

It will be lovely to a women's clothes shop in Dulwich that is reasonably priced, at the moment I only window shop in Dulwich so that I can get ideas to find the same thing cheaper elsewhere!

An idea I think would sell well in Dulwich would be to sell modern dress patterns as well as clothes. Lots of people are making their own dresses now but its a right pain trying to find decent modern patterns. Having a little corner with these in would be brilliant (also if they were decent prices!)

Good luck!

Nice move Nico1... i feared for Petals as soon as it opened. OK concept but was never going to draw the crowds.

To give all an idea of what your looking to do ... any idea of the labels you will be carrying?

[James]

Can you not stock men's stuff too? Like the sound of your shop & fed up with having to go east/central for decent clothes... women seem to have a good choice locally but the options for men are dull and frumpy. I see lots of cool-looking 20/30 something blokes locally who obviously don't buy their clothes here so I'm sure there's a gap in the market.

Leggings! Leggings! I have been looking for footless black leggins allover. Not keen on jumpsuits though.

[sanity girl]

Until the new shop is open, you can find all the leggings your heart could desire here

[Asset]

Nobody looks good in leggings IMHO..... only acceptable in dancers and under 14s (age)

[sophiesofa]

I don't object to leggings in general (i look awful in them) but I do object to the new trend of leggings worn with t-shirts/top that aren't long enough. I just can't understand how anyone could feel comfortable wearing them, I always accidentally search for camel toe and VPL - i must look like a right perve.

[sanity girl]

Agreed! I think leggings can look good under a dress, and they're handy for the great british summers when it's still bloody cold but doesn't feel right to wear tights

[Ellwood]

completely agree, the only mens clothes are in white stuff and that place down Northcross road where you need to donate a kidney to buy a teeshirt.

Thanks for reading.

...because what you wear underneath is important.

What about including a range of cheap and cheerful young teenage wear? I hate shopping in Central London, given a chance would always shop in (East/West) Dulwich, but so far haven't been able to find much for my tall 12-year old daughter around here.

Good luck

It will be individual,edgy and reasonable,it will cater for all ages but have more of a "East London Vibe" (I hope that doesent sound stupid!).

Yeah it does.....massively.

Good luck though!

They have some men's clothing in mrs robinson now, at the back.

Also what is the other new shop on melbourne grove - it looks like an ice cream place???

[sophiesofa]

I also think it is an ice cream place, the ceiling looks really good!

[CF]

it is going to be an ice cream parlour, called scoop!! yum!

[boswell]

Is it really going to be an ice cream parlour? Awesome!

[boswell]

Is it an offshoot of this place maybe?

[capt_birdseye]

Very different logo so maybe not.

[CF]

its a local lady who is doing it .

[Asset]

I don't want to piss on anyone's chips particularly, but opening an ice-cream parlour? In this country? At the end of summer? Good luck......

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Not chocolate chips, one hopes!

[Smiler]

Leggings - is so distressing that these are back in fashion, did not have the legs the last time and still don't! Boo hoo. But for those who can get away with it they are great.

Good news on the ice-cream parlour, not necessarily compatible with the leggings!

Hi Nick!

I look forward to popping in!

I loved many of the clothes that Petals sold and soon after it opened I bought a lovely top in the SALE! It was only after I saw 2 other Mums at my sons school wearing the same top that I vowed never to buy clothes in East Dulwich again, and I haven't. Hopefully this might change when I see your stuff!

Best of luck!!!!
