I'm getting married on 27/09/14. I took my Monsoon dress to a supposedly bridal seamstress about 2 weeks ago, due to it being big around the shoulders and hips but the zip did up with no problem. I paid up front to have the hips taken in and shoulders shortened so it wouldn't gape. Last Wednesday I went to collect it and to find whilst it now fits on the hips, the zip would only do up half way despite the fact the zip had only been realigned a the bottom. After returning on Friday to meet the seamstress she told me "I don't know what's happened." She did manage to do it up but I found it was still gaping on the arm holes which meant my bra straps are still on show. I left the dress with her so she would let the zip out at the top so at least it will definitely do up on the day but I have a feeling the armholes are still going to gape regardless. Due to being a naturally blessed at a 32HH I am unfortunately am not able to get a strapless bra to fit me even at Rigby and Peller. I am somewhat at a loss what to do, as I don't feel confident in the seamstress abilities, and I feel tomorrow when it is ready, I will have to take it away regardless of how it fits and find another seamstress.
If anyone can recommend a bridal seamstress in West London or Middlesex area I'd greatly appreciate it.
I have bought some Eyelure dress tape to try as a last resort on the day to try, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
