Hand-Made Couture - by Debi Lysaght

Just step through the mirror and release your imagination . . .

Debi Lysaght (formerly known as Gothik Designs and established in March 1998) is a small, UK based independent business specialising in bespoke, made to measure Celtic, Medieval & Fantasy inspired Wedding Gowns, Corsets, Cloaks & Headresses including Tiaras & Circlets.

Appointments are necessary to come to the studio so please phone or email in advance to arrange one - click here for contact details & directions.

The studio is based in an old Victorian school at Glasshoughton (near to Xscape and Junction32 shopping village) and easily accessible by public transport and the motorway network (Junction 32 of the M62). There is lots of free car parking (in the old schoolyard) including space for disabled drivers.

I work on an individual basis with each Bride - Wedding, Handfasting or Women Marryng Women. All Brides are welcomed with the same warmth and enthusiasm being guided through the whole process on a one-to-one basis from initial consultation, through fittings to the finished dress. As a creative professional embroiderer I can also add unique hand-worked embroidery, machined embroidery, beading or fabric painting to enhance your gown.

As my designs are all original to me I do not produce a brochure, so please use the web site as a guide.Please note I do not copy other designers or manufacturers designs (so please do not ask me to!)

I design and make accessories to complement my gowns - cloaks, veils, tiaras, circlets and LOTR inspired headdresses, and can also decorate shoes to match (see the 'Stylish Heels' collection)

BIOGRAPHY - click here for full biography

This website is dedicated to the memory of my brother - Mark Haigh-Hutchinson - who died from pancreatic cancer on 15 January 2008. My younger brother by 11 months, Mark was a talented computer games programmer, very respected in his field, involved in visual imaging techniques including 'real-time cameras' - he tried to explain the technical bits of this to me many times! He was always encouraging me and I shall miss him a lot.

The pictures opposite are some things that inspire me!
