I have been having a bit of a difficult time deciding what to do about bridesmaids dresses for a while. I have had great fun looking at dresses and making my cousins try them on in shops but I haven't really seen quite the right thing for sale. I have however found a picture of some beautiful dresses on the internet which should match well with my dress so I have decided to have them made by a dress maker. I am also really hoping that this will keep all the bridesmaids happy as they can each have slightly different dresses and, hopefully, it will be a bit cheaper than buying dresses and then having them altered, which I would almost certainly have to do. If i can find the photo again and work out how to post it I will.

Anyway the problem with having the dresses made is that three of my bridesmaids live in Somerset at the moment and one lives in Sheffield. This means that if I find a dressmaker in Sheffield, I will have to ship three bridesmaids to Sheffield for at least three fittings and bearing in mind that my two cousins are doing their GCSEs this year I am not sure that is really a possibility. the other option is to ask Ishbel to travel to Somerset for fittings but I think that a dressmaker in Somerset will be more expensive, material will be more expensive and Ishbel is normally really busy.

I was talking to Ishbel about the problem last night and thanks to the thought clarifying powers of a glass of wine we came up with a slightly complicated plan which might just work. The plan is to have Ishbel and Kags' dresses made in Sheffield and then shipped down to Somerset for a dressmaker down there to copy. I can see more complications to this plan now in the cold light of day than last night but it still seems like the best plan so far. If anyone has any better ideas please let me know. In the meantime I should really get in contact with the dressmaker that Ishbel gave me the number for.

Update about house is still in the pipeline. I am waiting for some more interesting news.
