Wedding Gown Part 3

Finally, I visited the last shortlisted bridal boutique last Friday, 16Feb. Actually, it is not the last.....I juz decided to make it the last. There are about another 5 shortlisted ones along Tanjong Pager Road but I decided to give it a miss ! 1st of all, it is really very exhausting to visit them one by one if you do not have the stamina. Not the stamina for running but the stamina for 'push' then away when they made u to sign on the spot. It can go on & on and you have to convinced them you need time to consider and they, on the other hand, will to convince you why you have to sign that day.... *sigh*

Fifi texted me in the afternoon telling me her apptmt has been postponed to 9++pm & so she can follow me to M**** B****. And so, I left the chore of how to get to Duxton Rd to her and we trekked there together.


It was located on the 2nd floor in one of those shophouses and she specialises in laces especially from Europe. Her gowns was lovely and she was very patient and meticulous. I told her I looked old in laces and she shortlisted 3 pieces for me to try them on. They were all A-line and need not to wear can-can. Truthfully, I looked slim in them lor..... And then there is this piece of evening gown that is made of german lace is fuscia pink ! I like it SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If I rent the gown & an evening gown, it will cost me $ 2300 !!!!!! & if I also take (rent) the fuscia pink gown, it will be additional $400 !!!!! Gurp........ It really burn a big hole in my pocket lor - juz for renting.... Fifi encouraged me to rent the evening gown only since I like it so much. Furthermore, it's not easy to get something you really like and since wedding it's like once in a lifetime....all the more should make all my wishes come true.... but i feel very pain to pay a 4-digit to rent something and not eventually haveing to own it ....

The lady was very nice and she didn't persuade me at all to put a deposit to take the gowns. Instead she write down everything and the prices of rental. She knew I need to consider and so we left the place within 35 mins !

Suddenly, it strikes my mind I can possibly visit Arab Street and see if I can find any similar lace...not necessary from europe..... middle east or frm china also can mah.... hee hee.... And also remebered I can find the small little shop I happened to bum into ay Golden Landmark.... I can ask the lady to tailor made for me......


Anyway, the following pic is the wedding gown I have selected and the sketch of the pink lacy evening gown.....
