Dress maker recommendation

[CamdenTowner]

Can anyone recommend a dress maker? I need one working in London. And no, not for a wedding dress!

Not sure about London, but I used Joanne Fleming (for my wedding dress, although she doesn't just do weddings, she does evening wear and all sorts). She's very nice and reasonably priced. Her website is www.joanneflemingdesign.com and she's based in Brighton. I was living in London when I used her and I just travelled down for fittings. I couldn't find anyone that wasn't hugely expensive in central London, although there is a dressmaker based in Blackheath who looked quite good - think her name is Valeria Galli. There's a directory on www.020.co.uk with a list of dressmakers in London and their locations.
