Dressmaker Wakefield/Leeds/Barnsley

Please can I get some recommendations for a dressmaker/designer in these areas?

I am wanting a dress made to my own design for the end of June.

Also any ideas on what would average prices/timescales for getting a dress made - it's an evening-y type but not a big dress, in lace with an underdress.

Also any recommendations for where in these areas to get material - hoping for dark green/blue lace. Also going to post this on the wedding forum as i'm hoping for some names,

Many thanks

    Not used her myself, but she is very highly recommended on here. I did consider her and emailed my requirements. She seemed lovely and said she could do what I want in my budget. But I ended up finding a dress myself (by accident!)

    Yeah Linda used to post on here a lot, but I think she got a bit busy! She was very helpful when everyone was asking about petticoats etc. I have heard lots of good things, if you want to talk to someone who used her try PMing Ellay864 http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/member.php?u=1037761, she had her dress made by her.

    Thanks - it's a bit far for me though.
    Was hoping for a recommendation for someone who just does dresses - not necessarily wedding dresses, it's just a special party dress i'm after - can;t think where else i can get a recommendation that won't take for ever or cost the earth.
