Where to Meet The Vendors – Lindsay Flemming Couture Roadshow

debs — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 19:42:24 +0000

Whilst in contact with David of Lindsay Flemming last week, he suggested that you might like to know about the following:-

“We are now introducing our new service, The Roadshow, initially in London, where we hire a location and bring all of our dresses down for people to see and try on. Basically, we offer the same service as if you were to visit our studio. We return to the same location every 8 to 10 weeks to arrange fittings.”

What a fantastic idea!

From Thursday 2nd September at 4pm to Sunday 5th September at 7pm, Lindsay Fleming Couture will be at
Dolphin House Apartments, Chichester Road, London, SW1V 3LX.

If this has got you excited make sure to get on touch with them to book an appointment. I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have before committing, so find out all the information here, and give them a call; be sure to tell them that you heard of their fantastic Roadshow idea through Gothic By Design, please.

Below is but a small selection of the delights that could await you……….

I’d love to hear any comments you may have to make – post them below.

Where to Meet the Vendors – 1

It won’t be news to you if you’re reading this post, that there are no wedding fayre events that goth couples can go to that really cater for your tastes and requirements – (if anyone knows different please let me know).

The only one that I have ever been aware of is the one that ran at The Met on Sundays during the Whitby Goth Weekend for a couple of years. I exhibited there several times but it wasn’t particularly successful and subsequently ended, which begs the question, if a goth wedding fayre can’t succeed in Whitby during WGW would one succeed anywhere?

Anyway, I digress somewhat. I think it’s fair to say that it’s highly likely that the goth based businesses featured in our Directory won’t often attend any wedding fayres because goths don’t go to them, and the non-goth based businesses will exhibit at various fayres throughout the year, but will be geared up to appealling to the mainstream crowd that comes through the door.

I could be right or wrong in that assumption, however, I have decided to bring you updates of the fayres that Gothic By Design vendors are attending as I hear of them. This hopefully, will let you know that if you’ve taken a fancy to a particular supplier then going to a fayre you know they are going to be at will be of use to you (presuming you can get there). Could I also add, that it might be worth contacting the vendor in advance to let them know what you are interested in so that they can turn up with samples that might be of interest to you, as, as I’ve already mentioned, they will be likely to go to the fayre stocked with stuff designed to appeal to the masses.

Well after all of that rambling I can let you know of the following dates:
