Yes- I sew clothing too. Hoping not to have to spend the time though. We are having an "after party" at our house and my chore list is long!!
I have to tell you the other part of the story. The bride and her mom started a wedding dress and brought it to me to fix and finish. After taking in, re-sewing, many, many fittings later, my mom and I got the bride to a bridal shop and bought her a dress. The bride will wear the dress she made as her "going away" dress. It was such a relief to find a gown for her - and no alterations! The dress she made was just not bridal-looked like a prom dress- and I couldn't get it to fit right. It was cut wrong and just didn't come out the way the bride envisioned. I just need to hem it again and it will be ready.
After making such a fuss to the bride about her gown, I just want to be able to dress as the bride requests. The green is a big deal to her. I can find lots of things in other colors.
