I've actually encountered the very same problem. There are all these fantastic people in the UK making these gorgeous gowns, but very few doing the same thing on this side of the pond. Your best bet may be to find a talented dressmaker to craft you something based on your own designs. You might start by calling independent seamstresses in your area or (as silly as this sounds) calling any nearby historical re-enactment societies because they may be able to give you some leads. Meanwhile, I'll look into this and see if I can unearth anyone up around you.

I am in LOVE with the Rosetti gowns! In LOVE. I have been searching like mad to find someone on the west coast of North America (I live in Vancouver, BC) who does this sort of quality couture, historical inspired work. I am having a Moulin Rouge themed wedding next fall, complete with acrobats, CanCan dancers, contortionists, burlesque dancers and fan-tabulous Drag Queen as our MC. I'm looking for somebody to make me a late 19th century inspired gown in the deepest of blood red matte satins. Every source I've found to date is in the U.K. and is simply too far away to realistially coordinate fittings and the like. Any suggestions???? HELP! Help! I am in LOVE with the Rosetti gowns!
