Dear lovely Mumsnet-ers,

I need all your amazing knowledge- I am due to get married on 9th of April and need the bust adjusted on my dress- my seamstress has let me down this weekend.

Any seamstresses in Cardiff/ Bridgend area that could help/ any recommendations?

You would probably be better posting this on a local facebook / instagram page, or google

I had a bridesmaids dress altered (admittedly it was in 2018) in Perfect Fit in Castle Arcade and they did an amazing job (the dress was at least two sizes too big!)

Thread Studio on High St in Barry are supposed to be very good but I know they’re very busy.

I’m not sure if that’s the numbers given above or not.

Really hope you find someone

Definitely- as soon as she put a couple of pins in, it looked perfect. Also- only around £70- definitely going to add a tip/ bring some chocolates as a thank you xx
