Hello,


I'm not sure whether it's possible but I'm looking for someone to make either 3 or 6 bridesmaid dresses for my wedding this December. I've attached a photo of the dress I would like making.


Please could you let me know whether it's possible for you to do this and if so roughly how much I could expect to pay?


Many thanks


Regards


Jo

I would highly recommend Crimson Rose for her brilliant dressmaking skills. I got in touch with Crimson via the forum because I wanted a much-loved but rather well-worn dress copied. Crimson gave good advice and made helpful suggestions regarding fabric and minor alterations to the original. She made a pattern and then a callico model. I met with her to try on the callico model which was beautfully stitched and an absolute replica of the original dress. I have just collected the final result which is beautifully made and perfect.

Crimson is approachable, thoughtful a good communicator and above all extremely skilled as a seamstress. Crimson is also a talented artist whom I would have no hesitation in recommending for her sewing and artisitic skills.

This is not a cheap option but for a special garment it is worth every penny.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and sad looking, and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
