Please Help! Flowergirl Dresses

We ordered three flowergirl dresses from eBay for a great price and they were shipped direct from the manufacturer in China. Problem is, 2 of the 3 dont fit the kids properly even though we provided sizes and, for all 3, the bow doesnt match the bridesmaid dress color.

We ordered burgundy bows but the ones they attached to the dresses are apple red (pic attached -- the top is the actual bow color and the bottom is the bridesmaid dress swatch). At this point, there's no time to send them back so we're going to have to get them fixed by a seamstress.

My questions are: 1) does anyone know where to get the bows in the correct color? (Davids Bridal doesnt carry the correct color.. FI already checked)

and 2) Does anyone know or recommend an inexpensive seamstress that can fix these relatively quickly? Any idea of what it might cost? We're going to need 2 of the 3 altered to fit properly and all 3 of the bows changed (they're currently sewn on).

Thanks in advance for reading this and for any help you can provide.

David's bridal also sells various color sashes. I'm not sure about the altering. Are they returnable?

ETA: Just read that you don't have time to return them...but maybe you still could and then buy something off the rack?

How about dying the sash? Sashes are also not that hard to make, you can just buy some fabric at some fabric store and give them to the alteration specalist to sew it into a sash, or do it yourself. Use fabric glue or fabric tape to tape the fabric into a sash. HTH
