After a ton of searching through standard wedding dresses that just didn't seem to catch my attention, I found this dress...


Unfortunately the talented artist who creates these gowns is in the UK and requires about 3-6 fittings...I live in Chicago. Her base price for the gowns also runs for 2,200 GBP (about $4,500 USD).
When I first saw this dress I almost teared up I was so excited. I was hoping there would be a way to recreate this dress, corset and jacket ar if anyone had any ideas to get something similar put together. Also does anyone know any talented seamstresses in the Chicagoland (or even midwest) who could possibly help me with this project?
