I'll turn up when I feel like it and expect you to drop everything for me. Great work on the wedding dress. I remember my mum sitting up all night before my sister's wedding because the person who had made her dress had made such a hash of fitting it. She had to buy a new veil the day before as there was no rescuing the made one. Hope this week is less irritating for you. Stay safe and happy WOYWW.

People can be unbelievably offhand and bad mannered at times these days, and show so little consideration. Your wedding dress alteration sounds quite a challenge but I am sure it was beautiful in the end! Many years ago I was commissioned to alter a genuine Norman Hartnell gown from the 1950s for a special ball. The skirt was pure moire silk taffeta and you couldn't pin it or it would mark. It had to be hemmed onto the lining. The bodice and the bustle on the back were made of ribbed silk velvet. I had to take in the Princess line bodice which meant taking it apart, and I was able to see the construction and skill of a real couturier - it was a huge privilege to handle such a garment - and pretty terrifying! The colour was a dark electric blue. The lass I did it for was absolutely thrilled. She'd inherited it from her grandmother. I was careful to sew it with pure silk thread to keep it authentic. On another occasion I altered a wedding dress for a young friend - she loved most of her off-the-peg dress but it had rather a fussy frilled neckline and she wanted pleats. It was a tricky alteration but it came out OK and she was very pleased with it.<br /><br />Well done with the weight loss! After I lost all my excess weight I had to get rid of a lot of trousers because they fell down!! Not worth altering!<br /><br />Happy WOYWW,<br />Shoshi x #8Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-44119175337662010742021-06-16T18:49:30.952+01:002021-06-16T18:49:30.952+01:00the cheek of some people! they don't deserve ...the cheek of some people! they don't deserve your hard work! the wedding dress sounds a real labour of love though.

Caught my dress in the scooter wheel yesterday and made a mess of the material which happens to be silk. I am thinking of shortening the dress to remove that bit, any tips on hemming silk?

Seriously, it's too bad some people expect you to bend to their terms, since you are an independent shop owner. She would not have treated someone like McDonald's the way she treated you. Of course, McDonald's would not be selling memory bears, but you get the analogy, I hope. At least you are making good use of your wait time. Happy WOYWW from # 4.
