I have gotten off to a busy start this year, with orders coming in fairly fast. This week however was made extremely difficult when i had the task of fixing someone else's mess. I was brought a bridesmaids dress which had been made by one of the bridesmaid's friends sister, who was apparently a 'professional dressmaker'. it was an utter disaster and i ended up using bits and pieces from the 3 dresses i had made to recreate a dress for bridesmaid number 4....In the end it worked out well and the wedding went off yesterday as planned, but to remake a dress from scraps in a day is really no joke....so here is the moral of my story...if you cant sew, then don't, all you do is take away the joy and fun of having a dress made and turn girls off for life..I try to make the time with my brides and maids and their moms special and to give them the dress they envisioned wearing on the special day.  Please don't let anyone frighten you off when it comes to having your dress made, their are wonderful people out there who know what they are doing.....
