Advice Needed: Hiring a Seamstress to Make The Dress From Scratch

Hi. I'm new here to the boards but they've super helpful so far. Thanks for all who contribute.

I bought a lovely sample dress but am thinking about making the idea dress that exists only in my head and on the rack for 6K! It's not too elaborate, with tulle instead of embroidery and beading. I'm hoping I can find someone in the DC area who can make it for me.

Can you recommend anyone to talk to?

Here's the dress I'm trying to recreate: http://www.amsale.com/bridal/bluelabel/090718/calista.shtml

    Hi there!

    My dress seamstress is a wedding dress designer - I don't know where you live, but if you're willing to make the trek to Stafford, VA, she's well worth it. (I live in Woodbridge.) Anyway, I bought a cheap dress off the rack and she made a ton of changes to it...and had a ton of great ideas!
