A whole day's hunt

The hunt which started at 10.30 a.m. only ended at 7.30 p.m. During that time, we managed to get the tuxedos for the 3 page boys, dresses for the 2 flower girls, dresses for the 4 bride’s maid. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get a suiting dress for the maid of honour, that’s me! :(

We met at Parkson, KLCC for the little girls dresses.
Not many choices and no right sizes!

We left to Sogo to look for the suits for the page boys.
Not impressive!

Argghh! We were already getting tired and hungry. We had 7 little children.. including Champion! We had our lunch at Sogo before we left to One Utama. It was a blessing that the kids were not fussy and happily obliged to our shopping and traveling around town. Needless to say, they were having fun with each other’s company too :)

Luckily, at One Utama, we found the dresses and suits for the kids. Then, we headed to Nicci, Fashion City along Jln Sungai Besi, hoping to complete our shopping. After nearly an hour of trying out dresses, we finally choose pink dresses for the bride’s maids. They looked sweet. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find an impressive one for me. but I was pretty pleased to know that I could fit in a number of evening gowns and still looked good ;)

Now, I have two more choices.. try out at a few bridal galleries to rent a dress or sew one for myself ;)

As we already had a beige suit for Champion, we wanted to get a similar or matching suit for lil’ President. On Sunday, we headed to Madras store in Masjid India and managed to get an Indian suit just fitting for lil’ President (have to alter the length of the pants though). He looked cute during the try out. I can’t wait for him to wear it during the reception.

However, I am having some fears that Champion might fuss about wearing his suit, as it has a high collar. I hope he won’t mind it on that day when he sees his brother wearing a similar one ;P

Now, apart from my dress for the church, we have to sew apps a new suit for the reception and get the boys their formal suits for the wedding at the church. Arrghhh! Suddenly there seems to be so little time left! I need to do this fast, as we have nearly a month to go for the wedding.

Wow.. what a big 'hunt'.. going all around Klang valley to look for clothes.

There's actually a shop dedicated to selling flower girls' and page boys' clothes. Was that the one you went to in 1U? I think it's called Flower Girl, near to Bebehaus 2nd floor.

zara's mama,
You can say that again!
Yeap, that's the one. What to do.. they didn't believe me when I said 1U has it all.. they thought they saw nicer ones elsewhere. Only after the hunt did we resort to 1U!

You know, I saw tuxedos for my boys and they were real cute. But I'm not sure whether there will be another time that they'll wear it again.. on sale for RM 85 per suit. Hmmm... *wonder*
