Sneak preview

On Saturday, Sinamma and Champion followed me on my hunt to look for a dress for the church ceremony.

Since we didn’t find anything nice at Nicci, we were going to try out in the bridal shops. But if I didn’t find anything nice, I was going to sew my dress!

The first bridal shop we walked in allowed us to look at the dresses. When we selected a couple of dresses for the try outs, the lady said we have to pay the deposit to rent the dress before we try out. Huh?! How do we know whether they have a dress that is nice on me? May be it looks nice on the hanger but not on me. We had to walk out of there..

The shop next to it said it is okay to try a couple.. but not many. Okay, that’s sounds fair. AT least they had the sense!

A brief walk through and we found this dress.. a 2 piece gold coloured dress.

They said I couldn’t fit in the skirt without altering, but I could try the blouse. When I tried it out, sinamma immediately knew that THIS is the dress. It really looked nice.. and the colour matched me too. It was simple yet elegant. PERFECT!

While we were discussing about the dress, Champion came up to me, every few seconds, telling me, "Ma, nice ma..". Wow! He’s got good taste ;)

That’s settled. Now, I only have to try out the dress after the alter works, before collecting it two days prior to the wedding.

Me First.....That was bad that u cannot try out a dress before paying the rental fee.what if it does not fit or u dont like it.Its not like u were taking it home or something.Anyway I am glad u found a good dress.It look beautiful in the pic.Champion does have good taste.

starry nights,
GOLD!
Yeah, I find it crazy that they had such a condition! How if I don't like anything there at all.. I loose my deposit?
I can understand if they charge me if I spoil a dress while trying out.. but just trying itself, I must pay?!
Thanks.. Yeap, he sure does ;)

jhantu,
Hi. Welcome to my blog. Thanks.. All in the name of the Lord :)

egghead,
No lah, I didn't buy the dress. Rent only, but it was equally expensive.
I could have sewn it actually, but then I have to specify the design and hope that it turns out as good as those I have tried ;)

zara's mama,
Yeap, very exciting.. can't wait for the day already. Yeah, only that I don't have to look for a white gown ;)
For your siblings weddings? If not, for Zara's wedding ;)

has to be me,
Yeah, I find it absurd to pay before trying itself!
It was such a sweet confirmation from Champion that the dress looked nice on me :)
Hmm, that means they know we look simple on other days. How clever ;P
