I finally managed to organise a trip to Somerset to see the dress maker last weekend and she seems very nice. We, i.e. Katharyn, Andrew (so he could visit his mum and dad), Ishbel and I all jumped in cars early last saturday morning and raced down the M5 to Wellingtonto see Roz for the first measurements to be taken. Contrary to prior knowledge, her house did not smell of dog, and although she is a little eccentric, probably from living on her own, she seemed quite nice and only charges £6 per hour for her work. I was hoping that she would buy all of the fabric for the dresses and sort everything else out for me (another job successfully delegated), but she wants me to get all of the fabric and the pattern and get them all back to Somerset. I also forgot to ask her whether she could make waistcoats for the boys. Ah well. I assume it will all work out OK in the end. At least somthing has happened.

The other thing I am a bit worried about is the cost of the dresses. Roz is refusing to give me a final cost as she insists that she doesn't know how long they will take. 35 hours was mentioned at one point so I will assume that that was for all of the dresses which would work out at a quite reasonable £55 per dress, which sounds about right based on what Ishbel paid for her dress last year.

Just have to buy the fabric now.
