Dress dilemmas

We’ve been together 11 years so I’ve had quite a few years to think about what I’ve wanted my dream dress to be. I don’t think I’m going to find it anywhere, or at least not locally.
I’m looking for a full lace tea length vintage style dress with straps that are about an inch or so wide that come slightly off shoulder. I wanted intentional designs like a not straight hem and cutting along the lace instead; no zipper, but either true buttons or corset closure; also allow me to have an additional petticoat as I would like to have some layers of navy tulle under the dress.
I don’t know what to do. The option of making it is still on the table.

Is this the kind of style you're going for just a bit longer?

I had my dress and veil custom made. I found my dressmaker on Yelp and I really enjoyed the process from creating the design, picking out the fabric and accessories, to tweaking things at each fitting to get everything the way I wanted. It sounds like you know exactly what you want and you probably won't find it already made so I recommend contacting some local dressmakers to get quotes.

A little longer. I found a dress that’s just about what I want, but it’s in England. 😥 I don’t know what to do. We have time, our date is December 21, 2020, but still.

That means it’ll probably be myself and a friend or two that can help. I know I’m a decent freehand seamstress and my friend does pretty well with a good pattern.

That's beautiful. You have plenty of time to order it from England. Do they not ship to the U.S.?
