520 $aMadine, the dressmaker and breakaway star from Big Fat Gypsy Weddings, has come a long way from her humble dressmaking beginnings, making and selling dresses on a market stall in Liverpool. Back then she knew nothing of gypsies. One day she was asked by a traveller to make some dresses like the ones in 'Gone with the Wind' and before she knew it had dozens of other traveller women gathering around asking for similar ones. She reveals her incredible story, as well as the fascinating stories of some of the many travellers she has met.
