Okay, as some of you may have seen, I'm getting really fed up of my dressmaker and I'm seriously contemplating looking for another one.

Can anyone recommend a bespoke dressmaker who specialises in tight-lacing corsets as well as wedding dresses? Most of the websites I've seen (and the examples I've looked at at wedding shows) have been pretty naff.

really sowwie but i have no clue but i think u doin the rite thing lookin 4 another x x x

6 n a half weeks scan!!!!!! x x x

The problem is that the only other dressmaker I liked STARTS at about £4000! :(

Sorry to hear your having trouble with your dressmaker :( I'm not sure of any other but I'll ask around and get back to you if I hear of anyone. I did speak with a woman at the Dunblane Hydro weding fayre but she wasn't really into corsets, however, I will try and find out who she was and i'll send you her details. xxx

where abouts in scotland are you?
- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
Based in Dunfermline but can easily get to Perth, Edinburgh or Glasgow; even Dundee is doable.
- CommentAuthorspooney24
Who have you considered but decided against so far if any? And who is the one you have at the moment?

26th December 2007 - the day I met my special man
8th August 2008 - the day he was mad enough to propose to me
24th July 2010 - the day I felt beautiful inside and out and
became Mrs Dickie for life. xx

a girl from hamilton is making my bridesmaid dresses and altering my wedding dress for me, she is into burlesque type clothing if thats what your after? but i sent her a pic of what i wanted and its do able x
- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
I was booked with Joyce Paton but thinking about giving up on her after long being ignored. I also emailed:

Freya (who ignored my emails)
Spencer Railton (who I might revisit, but I wasn't mad on his website)
Dragonfly Dress Design (who I quite liked but can't see anything quite to my taste on their website)
Ann Matheson (not much detail online)
Audrey Thompson (who didn't bother to reply)
Stephnie Anne (again didn't bother to reply)
Rene Avonya (another who didn't reply)

It's not easy finding a dressmaker who does corsetry well. I've spoken to some dressmakers to have them admit that they would never dare tackle a corset even though they're happy making wedding dresses.
- CommentAuthorMRST
google Emmeline Couture in hamilton.....
- CommentAuthorMRST
i think you will like x
- CommentAuthorStave
Not having much luck?

I can only suggest the next best thing! Ya birthday suit ;-)
- CommentAuthorFaeth
Would this work? hunt out corset makers to make you just the corset part, and go to a well reputed wedding dress maker to make the rest?

"Of course I'm not wedding obsessed!!"
- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
I've just spoken to Joyce and she's said she's going to call me back tomorrow to discuss things but admitted that she hadn't even looked at my emails recently. I can understand that things are slipping while her mum's ill but I feel like what should have been a lovely experience has turned into a nightmare.

Sharon - Thanks, Emmeline Couture looks great. I might give them a call.

Faeth - I started out looking for corsetieres who would do wedding dresses too, as the corset is probably the most complicated part, but a lot of the ones I've found in Scotland just don't live up to my usual standards and there aren't that many of them.
- CommentAuthorMRST
im going next week for the bmaids to be fitted and mines too so will let you know how i get on, i went with her due to her quick responce and help through email
- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
My sketches for my dress are quite heavily inspired by Vivienne Westwood and 1950s design. I'm such a pain in the neck.
- CommentAuthorMRST
lol, honestly give her an email and send her a pic. i know shes moving shop this week tho, but shes really fast at replying x
- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
I'll see what Joyce says tomorrow and then start looking. To be honest, she just doesn't seem to be keen to do my dress which is almost worse than being ignored.
- CommentAuthorMRST
thats not good :( hope you get on well x
- CommentAuthorStave
Hey Doll - check out your FB ;-)
- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
I saw. I didn't want to say on there, but I'm sure I remember someone with a serious complaint about their manufacturing standards and customer services a while back.
- CommentAuthorStave
LOL - I was too lazy, to post it on here. I dont mean buy from them, maybe check out the forum to see if there are any dress makers about ;-)
- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
I've emailed a couple who've caught my eye, but I'm going to get in touch with more tomorrow after speaking to Joyce. I know she's having a hard time and I'm totally sympathetic, but the way this has been conducted has been really, really unprofessional.
- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
I've now got emails back from two of the three dressmakers I'd contacted and I'm feeling a lot brighter. Both do tight-lacing corsets so I can get everything in one place. One even does veils too.
- CommentAuthorNHR115
Excellent news hun, glad you're getting somewhere with your dress now. x
- CommentAuthorStevie_Dee
Hi Special (-: Not sure if you have a designer yet but my friend who I went uni with lives in Edinburgh and raves about Lorna Tate. The link is on my wall if you are interested. xx

I have a gorgeous husband!
2 brilliant wonderful boys, a wonderful life
in Cornwall. Happiest woman ever!
Now making our house a home. Blessing 2014.
- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
Thanks Dee, I'm actually meeting with Lorna as well as Emmeline Couture on Sharon's recommendation. She's just emailed me her fabric supplier so I'm drooling over his silks at the moment.
- CommentAuthorStave
Oooooo I want a dress maker now. Or at last a dress lol
- CommentAuthorMRST

- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
I'm seeing her the weekend after next. How did your fitting go?
- CommentAuthorSpecialSundae
I've booked Emmeline Couture! It was so hard to pick between her and Lorna Tate!
