    I would have tought so. Maybe ask around for dress makers or ask in some material shops if they know anyone?

    Me too!

    Ok so... If I go for the Justin A dress, it's £1,050 here or £715 (inc shipping) in the States (RK Bridal). What do I do? What would you do? I'll have to pay extra for any alterations anyway so should I save myself £335 and order it from the US??

    Oooh, just had a thought: will I be liable for import duty on the dress if I buy it from the US??? How much would it be?

    I think you would, although i really don't know. I personally would still look into having the other one made. It is so cute and gorgeous. The Justin A one is quite slinky though. It would give you a great figure.

    Have you actually tried any on?
