    All I know at the moment is my dress arrives into the shop in Jan and then I take to get altered. I've been recommended seamstresses by the shop so no doubt they will tell me

    I had my final fitting 2 weeks ago. I had to find a seamstress myself though as the shop I bought my dress from closed down. I think it would have been early if I'd had it done instore xxx
