I'd like to shop in an online shop in UK
so far I've found
www.lovehoney.co.uk/lingerie/sexy-plus-size-18/clubwear-dresses/

but not such big choice there

unless you can recommend a good shop I can walk in somewhere in London/SE

Am on 3G ATM so not googling, but you can get petticoats on eBay. The best are chiffon like the SAMs ones Vivian of hallway sell mind, pricey though.

Lindy Bop do dresses very similar to the one you've chosen, not sure if they sell petticoats or not.

Watch out that you get the right length for the dress, LadyV usually say which that is in the description.

reasonable selection of +size seamed stockings

So, yeah. You've found you a lovely, flattering frock and petticoat but it's not really kinky or edgy. Should I be having another rummage about or are you sorted?

Ectomorph does a couple of amazing made to measure latex 50's dresses....

I think I would look for another one - so please keep them coming :)

I know what I bought it isn't very kinky, but just right for the tea paries with subs :)

I like this look:

ectomorph.com/sales/buy/5/153/latex-corset-top-ectomorph-fetish-designer-london

or this
ectomorph.com/sales/buy/2/60/

both are pricier than I had hoped - but very original

Oh yes, it's great! Have you seen GetCutie by the way? Love the Red BOnsai and Cactus prints.

lovely skirt (they specialise in made to measure)
this would be great at just-under-the-knee length

Could you find a style you like and have it handmade?

Another vouch for ectomorph dresses. I get a lot of comments on mine whenever I go out and rarely see anyone in anything similar.

A lot of places are adopting a door policy of 'no fetish by numbers' attendees. (Which is nice as it reduces the number of gawpers.)

look what measure they need for that Extomorph goth costume
www.ectomorph.com/sales/order/5/153/Draped%20Neckline%20Corset

it shows that they take great care into making it right

mrscumberbatch - how many dresses do you have for going to clubs?

BinksToEnlightenment - hand made one would be best - I need to enquire to find fabrics and how much would it cost to make one

THat's the sort of measurement instruction that I like to see. Grand!

I know I should ge a corset too, but the thought of always having someone to do it up for me makes me very unhappy :)

I am very independent lady

Would Merry Widow appeal? They're reasonably strict. THese go to a 38E, no idea what size you are though.

happyavocado.... god only knows. It's much more fun than regular clothes shopping and pre-dd a lot of it was just my every clothes. (Can't even imagine that now!!)

I have a lot of old lip service stuff. Classic PVC. Some custom latex. Rubber...but not so much a fan.

I am a curvy girl but you really need to dress to your shape as there's so many ill fitting outfits etc that make you wince. Believe it or not I always got invited to participate in more plays when I was wearing PVC from neck to knee. Nothing on show at all. Just very clever corsetry Wink

E would be too small for me :(
I can see that they go up to 34FF - I need H, but would need to try on - all depends how stretchy is the fabric they use

I always liked their range , but when I looked at their shop a while ago they had clothes only up to the size 14

I am sure they used to do soem victorian garments too around 2-3 years ago

Also- FYI- you don't NEED somebody to do up a corset for you. With a bit of practice you can do it will a full length mirror. I have it down to 20 mins to get strapped in Grin

IME the fabric has very little to no stretch. Sorry.

I agree about badly fitted clothes - I hate those!

my granny was a dress maker, I grew up watching her making them (never had enough patience to learn everything from her though :) ) , so I look at something and know where there's a mistake in it

making something for myself - I could try, but that is even harder than for another person ;)
esp dresses
