Recommendations needed for black brunswickers uniform maker

[mattb]

This is a bit out of my normal period. I'm getting married next year and would love to have a Napoleonic era black Brunswick officers or hussars uniform (basically something smart and fancy) as my wedding suit. Obviously I don't want to risk doing it all myself so can anyone recommend good tailors to approach for this. I've spoken to Farthingales already and am just trying to explore all options.

Hope someone can help!

Debbie Lough - posts on here as Tuppence. She made my hubby http://www.deborahloughcostumes.com/rifles.html this for a wedding a good number of years ago and I think has made a few more since.

A friend of mine has made for the 15th and a Brandenburg Hussars uniform. She might be up for it.

One of our group members has just had one made by http://www.eastessextailoring.com/ and he is very happy with it.

Angela Essenhigh at Seams historic is someone I'd heartily recommend for this kind of thing.

Don't know if the moments passed, Farthingales are making a Brunswick Dolman for me. They Have made me a fantastic Yellow and Sliver Barrel sash.
