Anne Fontenoy [Wedding Dresses, Accessories ,Cards]
Anne has been designing original ladies' clothes professionally since 1981, making all the dressmaking patterns, hand sewing the dresses. You can see some dresses on her website or make an appointment to visit her to see her collection of sample dresses at her home studio: wedding dresses, evening gowns and daywear plus some veils, bags, handpainted silk scarves, lace and silk boleros. At a visit you can also look at her portfolios of photos and sketches of her designs and ideas for designs to work on to create a unique dress for you.
During a consultation Anne can show you many swatches of beautiful fabrics she can order for your dress, draw sketches of a dress for you and give you a written estimate.
Or she can e-mail you a selection of images and sketches if you let her know what styles you like.
Dresses are made to order, by appointment for fittings and consultations or it is possible to create some dresses remotely without you needing to visit. Let Anne know what styles you like on her website or send some ideas. She can then create some sketches for you, send photos of silk and lace swatches by e-mail and actual fabric swatches can be sent by post. She can then work out a design for you which she can make up to your measurements.
There are some dresses for sale, some at slightly reduced prices. See these on the website or send an email for more information.
Anne is also a fine artist specialising in handmade cards and flower drawings.
