Anne Fontenoy

Dress designer/maker of hand sewn bridal gowns, evening dresses, day dresses, bridal and evenineg accessories and hand painted siolk scarves.

My hand sewn bridal wear ranges from wedding suits and short wedding dresses to elaborate silk bridal gowns. I have designed a collection of wedding dresses and evening dresses for you to choose from. I also have photographic and sketch portfolios of some of my bridal wear designs as well as styles for just necklines, sleeves, skirts and other parts of dresses from which to create unique dresses, and you can look through these at an appointment. I hand-draft patterns for the bridal gowns and evening dresses & specialise in making silk wedding gowns, as well as dresses made from cotton, linen, wool, lace & quality synthetics. I have a particular interest in designing bias cut bridal gowns and evening dresses and soft fluid clothes, and dresses that are not specifically “fashionable” but which are classic dresses and gowns often inspired by vintage clothes of bygone eras, although I also design in contemporary style. The clothes can be based on designs from my collections or I can design one-offs based on my design and pattern cutting techniques.

Anne is also a visual artist who specialises in botanical art and Christmas cards.
