Jeez -
That sounds a good case for the "Trades Description" act, backed up with a
"merchantable quality" clause plus a side-suit for "mental anguish".
I could represent you, but I'd probably blow it, but I reckon you could at
least reclaim the money . . .
And if not - get very telling photos and make sure _everyone_ sees the
mess she's made.
But I hope the day goes well. Enjoy every moment of it, and make it last as

appointments then cancelling at the last minute and rescheduling only to
cancel again later - our dressmaker finally came round today with the
allegedly finished articles; one wedding dress for me, one suit for
Stephen. She's done a fair enough job on the suit but my dress is just
appalling. And she charged me a thousand bloody pounds.
I've had a really bad time with her right from the start. She came
highly recommended but there hasn't been a single time I've been to see
her that I haven't fled in tears because she never bloody listens.
After one such occasion, early on, I wanted to sack her, but Stephen
persuaded me not to; he thought she would do a very good job. Well he's
eating his words now. Neither of us can believe what an awful job she's
made of it. It's just awful. She's managed to make it so tight round
the chest that my tits are crushed and the zip is straining, while
elsewhere it's baggy in the most unflattering possible way. And that's
just for starters. There's plenty more wrong with it.
She's had five months to do it, and she left it till the last minute, so
that now we can't do anything about it. We are supposed to be leaving
tomorrow evening, so she's given us about 24 hours to find some kind of
replacement, never mind that our time is absolutely crammed with all
manner of last minute stuff. How the hell were we supposed to know that
we'd need to find a replacement wedding dress at this point? She was
supposed to bring the finished articles round on Friday (and of course
that would have been leaving it late, even if she had managed it) but
no, then she cancelled, and wanted to (inconveniently) come round Monday
morning, then on Monday morning she cancelled and wanted to
(inconveniently) come round Monday evening, and then she cancelled, and
wanted to (inconveniently) come round today. If she'd come round Friday
like she was supposed to, at least we could have stood some chance of
being able to find another emergency dressmaker, and say to her, look,
this is awful, can you fix this? But with one day, there's no way. It
can't be fixed. We're shafted.
I've been struggling with this wedding thing all along but this really
takes the biscuit and I just don't think I can do any more coping.
Unless I feel radically different tomorrow, the wedding's off. And
somehow I don't think that I'll wake up in the morning and think "oh,
yes, well *that's* not a problem".
If anybody's in the London area and wants a good dressmaker then I don't
know of any, but if you want one who will fob you off with excuses,
charge you a fortune, and leave you in the lurch at the last minute,
then I certainly know one.

Really sorry to hear about your trauma with the dressmaker. I hope
something works out for you...it's awful to think that you'll have to
postpone your wedding because of this person's incompetence. :o/
I know it's no comfort, but this reminds me of my cousin and his
betrothed's first attempt to get married last year...their wedding was
originally scheduled to take place September 14--they were going to fly
over there September 12...
I really hope something else works out for you, so I can yell, Znmry Gbi!

Guess what - she wanted cash. And now we know why. When it came to it,
I was so upset, I just wanted her out of my fucking house, I wanted her
gone, I wanted to never ever have to have anything to do with her again,
that Stephen handed over the cash. I'd actually already left the house
by then.

Is very kind, but that wouldn't help. We leave tomorrow evening, that's
the problem. I have absolutely no time to do anything tomorrow anyway.
I can't see any solution to this.

Can't even pour myself a small one. I can't drink at the best of times,

You've been under an incredible amount of stress over the last few
months, and I can see how you'd react this way, but is the *dress*
really more important than the *wedding?*

Normally I hate to suggest litigation, as I can't stand it, but in this
case you've got a strong case for suing the bitch for what you paid
*plus* compensation; might not sound good ATM, but wait til you get a
nice holiday in, say, the Caribbean as a result :-)=

Oh bugger!
I hope you get sorted but remember it is the marriage that counts not
the decorations. Do you have to wear something formal? Why don't you
and Steve get married in bright rainbow colours - like Steve's socks?
You'll certainly stand out in a crowd. Not just socks of course.....
I am reminded of the wedding of a friend of mine - she had the same
difficulty with the cake which was delivered on the morning of the
wedding and was *atrocious*. She was in tears and furious but yours
truly managed to borrow a dummy plaster multi-tiered cake from a local
bakery which looked fantastic. It looked great for the photos and the
guests wondered why the cake they were actually eating had blue
decoration while the cake they saw was all white. I wish there was an
easy solution for your problem as well.
I wish you well - enjoy it for what it is and just think of the stories
you can tell your children. That is not going to help atm though. Wish
I could help.

Well, geting your money back is good. I was going to suggest
telephoning any dressmakers in the area and explaining your
situation... to get a fast job done on the unfinished article,
but you're marrying tomorrow! & you haven't got the thing.
The timescale sort of boots out the alternative, as well,
which was a lightning tour of shops for something "off the
peg" which would do the trick, or could be quickly adjusted.
Good luck with it, anyway. As someone else said, it's the
marriage that's the important thing - the trappings are
just that. However, I can see it's very inconvenient, esp.
if you're going for a big do, which it appears you are.
What is "Plan B"? (if you feel like mentioning it!).

I'm reminded of the line Kenneth Williams once wrote:
"I had lunch with Laura and she explained why she and Ted hadn't had
children ... she said "We got the blood tests back: I have too much
albumen, and Ted has too much sugar.
We can't have children, but we can make lovely meringues""

Horses for courses, I think it suits our JJ great. But, JJ, perhaps a
different shade of lippy? Not that that one doesn't suit you, it's just
