I have a beautiful dress Grace by Charlotte Balbier. It has a v-neck lace overlay with satin sweetheart neckline underneath, it was a size 14 and I have a size 10 bust, currently the sweetheart shape is too wide for my bust, what Ithink needs doing is the lace unpicking from the satin, the satin part re-shaped to fit and then reattched. Is this possible? My seamstress says she has done her best but it is not good enough! I get married in 2 weeks!!!! HHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP

    Whereabouts are you? I know a couple of seamstresses in the Hertfordshire area if that's any good to you.

    I suggest you contact Sarah at Confetti Bridalwear in Tring - this is her website: http://www.confettibridalwear.co.uk/

    She's a lovely lady and does all the alterations to the wedding dresses she sells, so if anyone can fix your dress for you, she can. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

    For wedding and bridesmaids' dress alterations, the best person to help you would be Sarah at Confetti Bridalwear (see earlier post).

    For other alterations, drop me an email and I'll pass it on to a couple of other dressmakers for you. My email address is ******@***************.***
