Dress tailor recommendations?

Does anyone have a recommendation for the central Florida area for a tailor who is good with very blinged out dresses? Trying to see if we can get more time from the solo dress we have before we need to find a new.

TIA

I don’t have a specific tailor recommendation, but I’m in North Carolina and my dress was done by a woman that also does the costuming for the North Carolina Ballet. I was VERY impressed and thanks to her work I was able to get more life out of my own dress. Perhaps someone with ballet connections could help?

Great idea! I'll reach out to some ballet places around my area. TY!

I’m from Washington state and I use someone who does pageant dresses. I was super impressed by her work as well and she even helped me sew on some of the bigger gems so they won’t fall off!
