Gown Trials!
10 Jan 2007 - The First of a Series of Gown Trials, Fittings, and More Fittings!
Went down with Cirong to Sattine for the first gown testing, and it turned out to be more fun than i expected. As usual, i feared the attention and looking silly but the guys at Sattine were really cool. They were really easy going, and Danny the designer was helpful and patient which helped me relax a lot. Cirong was very encouraging and positive as well (and critical when necessary of course!); so, all in all, a much much more pleasant experience than i expected.
I tried on a total of 7 gowns, not very many i think by some standards, and would put up the pictures here but it is bad luck for the groom to see the bride in the gown before the wedding day (English tradition) so these are going into a private circulation. (Besides, i don't want the whole world (possible!) to see my embarrassing moments.)
BUT!!!! I've found my dresss! The version on the rack is a little too big so I'm getting one made from scratch, which leaves me the options of what material i want, the specific lace and trimmings, etc. I am still caught between this more elaborate dress and having one that is just plain like the Oscar de la Renta one below. Hmm..for now, i'll sleep on it cos they're making the 'shell dress', which is plain anyway, and i can decide then!
Oscar de la Renta dress, without the gloves of course!
