I too was let down terribly by xxxxxx the dress maker from Gateshead. I actually think she lives in Dunston which may come under Newcastle. I think her company sometimes goes under the name of Fitzrite or Fitz rite but they are based in Dunston Tyne & Wear NE11 9TP. Their telephone number is xxxxxxx and they ruined our wedding photos due to her incompetencey. Each dress she made was either too large or too small. All were the wrong length and the biggest annoyance for me was her attitude of never taking responsibility for getting things wrong like not turning up for appointments. I was always made to feel that it was my fault even though I knew it wasnt. By the time things started to appear seriously wrong it was too late to find anyone else though. xxxxxx the dressmaker said she could do all these wonderful things but then when it came down to it her husband would make up these excuses saying she was under stress etc etc and never apologising. We would drive to her house along with my bridesmaids for a fitiing for our dresses and she wouldnt be there, or the dresses wouldnt be ready. She would always blame us for getting it wrong though. Dresses were still being measured and made the day of the wedding but they werent made to anyhere near the standard that you would expect from a good dressmaker. This is clearly obvious on all of the wedding photos. Some bridesmaids dresses fell apart during the day. Some didnt even have the correct pattern or design on them. Even our photographer was amazed when he watched what was heppening on the morning of the wedding. I was taken in by xxxxx but sadly I was let down hugely. The biggest day of my life will be stained forever because of what she did, or didnt do. The sad thing is she even charged me full price, never apologising for her mistakes. She even overcharged me for some items. I am too weak to fight her though so I just paid up. I hope others dont have the same problems I do. good luck.
