With a week to go til my friend's wedding, her dressmaker has tried to copy a jacket for her and its not gone very well at all. She is currently trying to get it fixed by another dressmaker but would ideally like to have the actual jacket in this picture -

She wanted to buy the actual jacket but was unable to find out where to buy it, has anyone seen it anywhere for sale?

Its late on so I'm guessing that she's unlikely to get it now but thought it would be worth asking on here just in case someone's seen it.

Thank you :)

    Sorry if it's a stupid question, but why doesn't doesn't she order it from the link you posted?!

    It was a very short notice wedding and the seller is in China so it would never have arrived in time. Also the seller is offering a replica of the jacket and not the original as shown in the pic. Ideally she wanted to find out where she could buy it off the peg but was unable to track it down so she had it made here in the UK but has not been happy with the outcome.

    I thought I'd just try on here to see if anyone happened to spot it in a bridal shop.

    The site says it takes 7 days to make a dress, have you emailed for a lead time on delivery of this?
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
