First of all there are only a handful of real couture designers. People throw the term around thanks to companies like Juicy Couture. (they are not for the record real couture)
The term haute couture is actually protected by law in the country of France. You must be approved by a commission at the Ministry of the Industry, to use the term haute couture in your creations. They must be hand executed designs for a specific customer, and extremely detailed with only the highest quality of materials. That being said, a designer who could custom make you a real couture dress would be Chanel, Christian Dior, Givenchy, and only a few others. You could attempt to contact someone in their head offices or going into a flagship store and finding out if there is another way to go about it. The cost of a real haute couture dress will cost you in the thousands. Like, you could buy a house instead, thousands.
