    I would REALLY advise her to take someone with her. She will be under a lot of pressure, so it really is best that she is not on her own.

    Can she find someone else to go with her for moral and rational support?

    She is going to have her sister with her tomorrow. If all fails I'll head down there with her on Saturday. I'm known for getting my own way, so I'm hoping I'll be bale to persuade them to to do the right thing and sort it all out.

    In regards to ordering another dress and having that made to fit I am wondering is there enough time? Not sure how long it takes to order in a dress but I'm guessing that two weeks to order and then alter is not enough? If they aren't able to make the dress bigger or not able to make it bigger without also look good then a refund would the only option. Just wondering if it is possible for her to start looking at alternatives just in case they can't alter the dress? Some places have ex-display, clearance dresses, etc. Would that be an option should the worse come to it?

    She has started to look for alternatives now. Even 2nd hand dresses. Fingers crossed it won't come to that!

    Did the dress get sorted out?
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
