Helena didn't make my dress, but she was the one that made it fit me perfectly and dealt with a very complicated bustle with an eye for style and proportion that comes from her ability to design custom clothing. We bought the dress off the rack because it was the last dress of that style the store had and they had already discontinued carrying the designer. Luckily it fit pretty well, just needed to be taken in a bit (which was more complicated than you'd think because of the way it way constructed) and it also needed to be hemmed since I was planning to wear flats. Since it had multiple layers and a very textured outer layer just hemming the dress was extremely tricky and bustling it needed a very careful and creative hand. Helena did it all magnificently. I strongly recommend using her tailoring skills even if you don't decide to have her make your gown.
