Help! Where at Kings x can I get a sewing kit

[Feawen]

My very lovely but apparantly also very fragile vintage cocktail dress in unravelling. Aargh!

[ScrambledSmegs]

Try Cath Kidston in St Pancras. Sounds like the kind of thing they'd have.

Of course it will be expensive and very twee so maybe see if there's a dry cleaners with in-house mending nearby first?

[lapsedorienteerer]

Most supermarkets have them on the end of an aisle.

[Allalonenow]

Boots the Chemist may have them.

Hotel reception desk might give you one, I've done that before even though I wasn't a guest or anything.

[Feawen]

Thank you very much. Kath Kidson sounds likely. While a mending service would do a better job, I would have to be mostly naked while they fixed the problem, because I'm wearing said dress and have no other clothes with me. I fear I have Made A Mistake.

Boots or WH Smith in the travel section. If it ask your hotel

[Feawen]

Yes! All also worth a try

Boots in St Pancras have a travel one.
(I work in KingsX)
I have one in my desk drawer. What colour is the dress.

[Feawen]

Right! Boots St Pancras it is. The dress is pale pink and gold. It's a seam that's going so if I can manage a needle, pale thread and some privacy I can probably make it most invisible...

[MadHattersWineParty]

Good luck OP! The tiny beads from my party dress last week are probably still in the vicinity of KC somewhere 😂

[Feawen]

Mostly invisible.

[Feawen]

Just wanted to thank you all for your help last night. Party a success and I was mostly decently covered throughout :)

[Allalonenow]

How nice to have an update, and so pleased that your evening went well.

[SleightOfMind]

Hooray!
V glad to have been of service!
