Hi There
mine came from Alexander James, and the top hat from ebay! there is a man on ebay from Holland who sells silk top hats, I sent him my requirements and he sent me a list of links to ones he was sells.
video of the day I rode, I didn't ride until the last classes in the top hat as horse very young
http://youtu.be/H_L5gGWu_Y0
The first class was the concours, and second (on a friends horse) was the novice horse.
I made an error in riding the second horse without a balance strap - although he coped fine, I have since been told never to do it again
Anyway you can get an idea of concours dress

I watched one class with about 12 entries. There was a very austere 19th century hunting lady, which I really liked, a girl in khaki on a spotty horse, and one girl who had a very flowing velvet outfit which must have cost a fortune in material but I thought it looked like she had used the curtains to make her outfit, which was probably unfair.
I can't remember which one won, but there were some lovely dramatic outfits in all sorts of colours and styles.

SOme of the showing websites sell the Concours costumes. Ponies on Parade does I think.
To garuntee somethign unique, you'd be best to either make one yourself if you're experienced at costume making, or find a seamstress who will take individual commissions.

There is a woman on Horse Gossip makes them - I am presuming you mean the really jazzy outfit rather than the side saddle habit pictured above?
If you post on there in the lounge you will get lots of answers on where to get them
