Congratulations on the job Gleeful!! Just in time for the summer holidays, you'll have 6 weeks to celebrate (and get over the shock)
Screamer could you check out any of the local hotels? I know when I was looking there was somewhere quite pretty in Bradford that came up for west yorkshire, although I don't know the area too well. Or the council should have details of licensed venues on their site?0 -
Hope I'm not butting in in the wrong place here, but I am SOOOOO chuffed I'm gonna burst and needed to tell someone!! :j:j:j
Ive found a wonderful lady, a retired needlework teacher who now works as a dressmaker, who can take in my overly big but beautiful bargain Maggie Sottero dress and is not going to charge the earth for it - she is such a lovely lady, we hit it off and she was recommended by another bride who said she was a sweetheart, a great dressmaker and very reasonable. :T
I was so very worried that I had bought a dress too big to be alterable, but it was such a steal and so lovely I got it, but then I was scared in case it wasn't do-able. Ive never seen another dress that I liked so much but simply couldnt afford it full price (this one was a sample I got at a wedding fair, but I think the 14 on the label may be American sizing cos I take a 12-14 and it was huge!)
I also got these lovely shoes in the next sale for £12 today so I am well smug!!! Happy happy happy!:D

Why are you whispering? Congratulations, now get some pics up!
I was at my mums at the weekend and ended up trying my dress on again at midnight on Friday, while slighlty drunk. Still happy with it though there are a few pulls in the floaty outer layer (chiffon or organza?) and there are a few beads missing.
It was a sample and the straps are a bit grubby - not sure what to do about cleaning it. Anyone any advice - should I wait till after its altered or clean it first, or does it not really matter. I'll try and get 2 pics of it up. Off I go......If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.0 -

This is one of the very VERY rare occasions where I will say that it looks better on me than on the model! It suits my figure much better. I got it in a sample sale reduced from £750 to £499.Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP(Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)0

joho i dont know how to go about cleaning your dress, if you pm linda she might know more if you tell her the make of the material or ask at the store where you bought it from?
there are also specialist shops you can go to to get it cleaned or certain dry cleanersI am not bossy I just have better ideas:p0 -
screamer are you in england or wales? if so have a look at your area for licensed venues, there maybe a restaurant near you that can marry you in your budget
