non pleated cummerbands help

[jennywren]

I have been looking for a non pleated cummerbands, spent hours on the web, can anyone suggest where I can try its so I can embroidery on. I'm desperate

I'll ask my friend tomorrow unless your sorted now, she runs a bridal shop and may be able to help.

I would be your best friend if you could. I was up to one last night looking and no such luck. Thank you so much for offering

Hi, went for coffee with her first thing today, but no joy sadly. She has the pleated type but not many only a few colours to match her wedding themes. She said the problem with them is the hire companies have the corner on the mens wear for weddings as most men wont spend out on owning their own outfit, only the brides do this, typical eh

The other problem is how many you would need, if you have to buy from manufactures, its containers of them! She said just try all the wedding wholesales, but that your best bet was to find a silk taylor and get them to make them for you direct, she thinks if you put in an order for a few that would work out cheaper.

Sorry not a huge help, but it was worth asking her.

thanks for trying will still be your friend it might be that I need to change the wording when I go on the internet, I type in silk taylors will let you know if I have got them but thanks you.

I have sent them a email lets hope they don't think I'm beening cheeky, still I can only ask but thanks for that let you know how they replie.

[jennywren]

I did email one but no joy, the other one did the same as me and it seem bad etiquette to even ask so I'm back at squre one so still looking. So has anybody got any more ideas or places I could try, I think that it might be to have them made any suggestions for that. Thanks to everybody thats helped.

Could you not try a local seamstress and see if she will make them for you?

Would be much cheaper than going to one of the bigger guns, so to speak
