Dressmaker for bridesmaids (North West)

Toboguin

Hi all

Can anyone recommend any good dressmaker in the Lancashire region that would be willling to make 3 adult bridesmaid dresses for this August. My bridesmaids are all different shapes and sizes and will therefore require different styles (which I'm ok about) but I definately want them all in the same colour (eggplant/aubergine/plum). I also have a little girl of 9 to cater for but I'm thinking of putting her in white dress with a eggplant bits added so she should be a bit easier to provide for.

I've been looking at bridesmaid dresses in wedding shops and they cost a pretty penny and although I don't want to be tight I have got a budget to stick to.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Wow - thanks for all your great ideas and especially the potential offer of a dressmaker. I really appreciate all your help and advice.

I've been hunting round again this weekend and as I've managed to get my dress cheaper from the USA I've got a bit more to spend on the bridesmaid dresses ..... and I've actually managed to find a style that will suit everyone - phew. I've got to give the shop a mention though as they couldn't have been more helpful or done enough for us and we didn't even have an appointment: Especially For You, Derby Road, Longridge, Preston.

I can't wait for the wedding and now I've started ordering stuff it seems that much more real. Thanks again and good luck to anyone else in my situation.

My sister might be able to do it, as it happens I did a 'heres my wedding thread' with piccies Here

shes in Hyde, there are actually over 3000 hand sown dimates or sequines on the brides dress but its hard to tell from them pics.
Try looking at the videos at the bottom of the pics look at vics video and wedding video

i bought my dress and had my bridesmaid dresses made at Bridalwear By Esme 254 Tottington Rd Bury Lancs BL8 1ST Tel: 0161 764 4157,
the shop is brilliant no problems whatsoever they beaded the dress i chose and it fitted perfectly, the bridesmaids dresses were lovely and at a very affordable price i'm sure theyd be within your budget give them a ring i'm sure they will help you!
good luck !
ps: enjoy the best day of your life! (apart from having a baby!)

whats your budget on each bridesmaid dress? I brought this lovely deep plum one a few years ago, for £150, and i thought that was cheap. maybe i'm wrong.

have you tried looking in the Debenhams debut range.

Have you tried Ebay????? We are geting married in August this year and brought the wedding dress and 2 bridesmaids dresses made to measure from Ebay and they were very resonable. Also try looking on the Americain Ebay site. https://www.ebay.com you can get a gorgeous bridesmaids dress for as little as £35 delivered if you are willing to take a minimal risk. Don't forget these are made to measure prices.
