I posted last week saying that I was worried my seamstress would still not have my alterations ready for my fitting tonight, but she assured me that it would be no problem. Today she called in the morning to clarify her notes on the work order because she was starting to work on the dress. I asked if she wouild still be ready for my appt and was again told it would be no problem. After work on my way to the appt which is over a one hour drive away she called to say it was note ready. I asked what she had been able to get done. Her answer was that "i was able to replace the pins that came out for the hem and bustle". I am completely freaking out now..my wedding is in 3 1/2 weeks, she has had the bustle and hem pinned for 9 weeks and still nothing is sewn and she stil lneed to take in the top, reinforce the loops for corset and a few other minor details. Now I am suppossed to go back next Thursday. I have been assured by the seamstress and the store manager, that although she has been busy with a lot of other brides that she will be able to get mine done for next week. I am so upset, I just am not sure how to handle this. I am trying to be patient and understanding but also want to be sure my dress will be ready. I do not want to call and make a compliant because I am afraid she may not do good quality work but worry about the same thing if she is rushing to finish on time.FI has suggessted looking for another seamstress but not sure if I have time and I had to pre-pay $350 for these alterations and cannot afford to lose the money and pay someone else. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
