I’m going to cry, (here comes bridezilla)

I have just had a phone call from MIL-2-b, and after all the waiting, it seems that her machine is not able to sew my material for the dresses for the bridesmaids. so here we are with some ridiculously small time left, just over 2 weeks.. until the big day, and no bridesmaids dresses.   she has arranged for a dressmaker friend of hers to make the dresses, and can sort out for my moh to get measured for it to be made. but well, as my other bridesmaid lives in new plymouth, has just started a new job, and does not drive.. she isn't able to get here until the day before the wedding. which means that we cannot get her measured, Mil does not think the lady will make the dress without taking measurements from amy herself. it's jsut not going t happen. The only other option is that the lady waits till amy gets here on the friday evening, takes the measurements and makes the dress and hopefully finishes it by the afternoon of the wedding (which is soooo not what i need to be worrying about on the day)

here' it comes, it's all turning to boogers, didn't i say that this would happen.

ARGHARGHARGH fricken dresses. I should have bought them, i was going to buy them, why didn't i buy them.

I want to cry...... no wait. I am.

stupid stupid stupid.

I agree with Rianna - can she go to a dressmaker here and get her measurements done? There are plenty of them around. I'm sure when the dressmaker you have has the situation explained to her she should be ok, especially as it will also ultimately make things easier for her by giving her slightly more time.

Good luck!!

 Best of luck!!

that's what I did for my nieces, as they're in Chch, and the dressmaker was in Akl.
It was much easier to have the dresses, hemmed and taken in than have the whole thing made in 1 day.
I'd be stressing too.

*hugs* Janine, I'd be crying too! Surely the dressmaker wouldn't be a b*tch about it and not *need* to take the measurements herself?!
Like the ladies said surely your BM could get measurements done in her local area and send these to you?

Good luck

With everyone else , get her measurements done by a dress maker in NP !
Stop stressing girl it will be all fine!

Can you just get some from Stax or somewhere???? Jacqui E often has nice one too???

Nothing helpful to add sorry. I think there's some good options here for you - get her to be measured by a dressmaker in NP or even get one down there to make her dress.

Your day will be perfect!

Hey Janine, just saw this - how did things work out in the end? What did you decide to do?

Hi! i rememebr you from NZWP :D dont worry hun- these things ALWAYS have a way of working out. weddings can be sooo stressful, and youre right, its the last thing you want or need to be worrying baout just before the day, but try to keep calm and it will fall into place and before you know it youllo be married and laughing about all the stress you went through...trust me- i did! :D

hope you have a fantastic wedding hun!  :grouphug:
