Dress me up, dress me down

New York-area dressmaker and/or designer recommendations, please.

I need a formal gown. Dressmaker, designer, whatever - I just need help and guidance. I have ideas about silhouette, fabric and style, but they're vague enough for me to want a dressmaker with a really great eye, a stylebook, and a sharp, opinionated tongue.

Budget-ish is better than high-end, five boroughs better than the suburbs, but all recommendations gratefully taken.

This one is in Philadelphia - http://www.h-clothier.com

I don't know how expensive their work is but it's phenomenal. They seem really attentive to clients. It'd make a fun trip to Philly!

Just dropping in to say I found a wonderful Brooklyn-based dressmaker by using the Freelancer's Union directory. Feel free to memail me for her info.
