Bridesmaids Dress Dilemma!!!!

ang123

I am hoping you will be able to help me with a major emergency on behalf of my best friend!! Basically, my bestie of a million years is due to be married in 6 weeks and this is her dilemma!!!

She bought her bridesmaid dresses last year in Debenhams, Cork. As she was buying them so far in advance, she thought that she would be doing her bridesmaids justice by buying the dresses in a bigger dress size so that if the worst scenario happened & they gained a few extra teeny tiny centimetres the dresses could be altered!!

Sooooooooooo, to cut a long story short, 1 of the bridesmaids has dropped A FEW dress sizes & to alter this will be major drama!!!!!

We have searched high & low for the particular dress and to no avail :( We have searched the shop every week, we have searched the website, ebay, amazon you name it we've done it!!

So I am hoping that some kind ol'souls out there who may have or know someone who has a : No.1 Jenny Packham style code: aqua blue, db mesh corsage prom dress in a size 10.

Thanking you in advance for all your kind help!! If we got our hands on this dress it would make her day ~ literally!!!!!!!!!!

Kind Regards,

A very stressed out best friend!!!!

You should post a wanted ad on Adverts.ie, you never know who might have one lurking in the wardrobe. Be prepared for lots of 'no but I have a size 22 crinoline dress in my ads if you're interested' type responses though!

Would you not be able to just get the same dress made by a dressmaker, save all the stress and searching.

It would probably be near impossible to get exactly the right fabric, and speaking from experience reworking a larger dress to make a replica smaller dress is a PITA, and with most dressmakers would be more expensive than just making a dress from a pattern.

True, but depending on how many bridesmaids there are, each could be slight different ( granted they can get same fabric, or use fabric from existing dress), one could be strapless, one short or boob tube etc..

Do you have a link to the dress op?

the dress is now far to big to make smaller, its cutting all the details from the dress by taking it in, compared to the other 2 dresses which are exactly the same!! the weddings in 6 weeks so in complete panic stations now!!!

Hi

Is it a short dress? I googled it and it's coming up for sale on the uk debenhams website. But it's probably not the dress you're after.

It won't let me post a link as I'm a new user.

I was able to send the link via private message.
