Do not buy fabric without consulting your dressmaker. She is an expert in textiles and designs; if you have fabric swatches or colours, please bring them, but be prepared to follow her advice for the exact fabric, colour, and amounts needed to make Your Dream Gown a reality. She will suggest the ideal fabric for your gown and can help you find the right suppliers. If you insist on a fabric that your dressmaker deems inappropriate, there can be no guarantee of a satisfactory final result.
