Belfast-based fashion designer Lizzie Agnew has opened a spacious new studio upstairs in the Fountain Centre, Belfast, to accommodate the demand from customers for her couture creations.
Lizzie, who is the proprietor of that little fashion gem Atelier in Queen's Arcade previously worked from a little ‘Atelier' just upstairs from the shop but with sumptuous dresses and stunning wedding gowns on order - Lizzie needed lots more space and has moved to the rather fantastic, bright and airy studio space.
Whether you are looking for a wedding gown or a dress for a special occasion - not only will you get a classic vintage-inspired gown designed and tailored for you but one piece of feedback Lizzie hears time and again is that it's also a really fun experience. You even get a great cuppa in gorgeous vintage china tea cups!
"Getting your wedding dress designed and handmade by me is such a different experience from the usual bridal shop as it's really relaxed and totally personal to you. Plus it's a creative process where you are 100% involved so you'll get exactly what you want" notes Lizzie who is famed for her stunning silk dresses in shorter lengths.
 "It's so hard to get wedding dresses in shorter lengths and although it's something I'm known for - I do full length gowns as well of course" says Lizzie who was commissioned to creat the jaw-droppingly gorgeous ‘dome dress' inspired by Belfast City Hall for its centenary celebrations.
With yards and yards of lux silk and hand-finished petticoats you'll feel totally special in one of Lizzie's dresses and if you're pushed for time to get the perfect dress - Lizzie has even been able to create a stunning gown in a week!
"Everything is made by hand and I have everything I need here in the studio so if a bride is strapped for time - she shouldn't have to compromise for her big day - we're even going to produce a range of wedding dresses to go based on my ‘Ultimate Party Dress' which has been incredibly popular.
Bridal dresses start at £350 with Lizzie's couture service starting at £900. Brides maids, mother of the bride and occasion wear are all also available to order.
