Broken zips and dropped stitches

My dress has arrived!

It has made its long journey from China and is now hanging in my spare room. I love it! Who would have thought you could buy a wedding dress for £90?! 

In reality it is going to cost slightly more than that as it needs so alterations doing but it is still definitely a bargain!

Unfortunately the 1st time I tried it on the zip broke! I had a friend from work helping me get in it and as she zipped it up the zip broke. She was absolutely mortified!! I really didn't mind though as I would much rather it break now when we are able to put in a stronger one than for it to happen in the day! 

There are a couple of stitches which have also fallen out and the length of it is too long. I have made an appointment with a seamstress for a couple of weeks time for her to have a look at it and let me know how much it will cost for her to do the work it needs.

Overall I am really pleased with it. I knew when I bought it that I would probably need to do some alterations and the things that need doing are pretty easy things. They are just little issues with finishing plus the big but easily sorted issue of a broken zip!

I soooo want to put a photo of it on here as I love it so much but I am going to resist! You will need to wait until after the big day for photos!
