Fabric craze
Upon checking that the bridal house’s latest dresses are in store, we went over in the hope of picking out the gowns. To my great disappointment, the designs are just not what I want. They are too elaborate for me. The one simple one that could have been, well it didn’t fit length wise and there was not much that could be done to alter it because it’s got a trailing tail.
I’m told to return earlier next month where more gowns should be in. I’ve pretty much lost confidence that I will find something I like, looking at the trends coming in. I’m not willing to drape myself in something that I feel uncomfortable and awkward. So came Plan B – to tailor the gown. Since I have some ideas in mind of what I would like in a gown, it was quite easy to choose my fabric and colours – a mix of satin and chiffon. It’ll be a very simple dress inspired by a combination of a few designs I like. Whilst it looks alright in my head, I hope the outcome of the real thing won’t be weird or I’ll be doomed.
We’ll be making another long gown for the bridesmaid too and we’ve also chosen the fabric and design. So come this weekend, we’ll all head to the tailor’s and make some gowns! :)

hi foodcrazee,
One thing you can help here. Any idea or suggestion on the "theme song/music" for the 1st dish ?
Kitaro and Star Wars a bit stale already.
Thanks man.

I am excited to see your design Carol. Well you are really petite and slim thus no doubt you will find difficulty getting something that you really want. Heard that that is rather diff i you already have the perfect wedding gown in mind. So how does this new one you are making look like? Any templates you have drawn out? ANd one for the bridesmaid as well...wow wow...your wedding ceremony seems to be very well planned. Congrats.
Tayloring is good but thought that is going to be a bit pricey but well go for it if you think that is the best to do! Looking fwd to read more of your postings. Re wedding songs, I actually have a cd in which a friend of mine has created for her wedding 4 years back. Let me go back and see what songs are there and probably we can still some from there!

i share the same sentiments as you. i just walked into two so called bridal houses along the same row and i had had enuff just trying on i think just about 5 gowns. they cant cater to wat i had wanted. those days they only have mostly can-cans skirts *yarks big time* with plenty of beadings and laces *yarks*. rentals were expensive too since we didn't want any photography.
we ended up going to the corner shoplot drooling over those super bikes hahaha and did not even dare to venture into any bridal houses after that!
eventually i bought my gown at white and lacy. not a new one though... worn once before. rental wud cost rm600 and we paid rm300 extra to bring the gown home!!! best is the gown made of thai silk! woot!
