I was considering to tailor my bridesmaids desses but is add up to quite expensive to decided to purchase from online boutique instead.

Will be getting the Stillness dresses from an online shop called Miss Sparkle Shop, and they have an optional sash too!

Total is less than $40 each. Better than renting I think.

I got mine at a shop at far east (4/5th floor). It's not too bad but cost me almost 100 per sister. There is 2 shops there and they are facing each other. Competition :p

Hi everyone! I'm starting to look for bridesmaids dresses but am not too keen on the convertible dresses mainly because I find that it's not too flattering on ladies who are flat-chested. Or am I wrong to think so? Cos all the videos/pics that i've seen so far show models who are very well-endowed and could easily go bra-less in that dress.

For those brides who bought the convertible dress for your jie meis, did your gals have any feedback regarding the coverage/chest support?

The one I got is like a tube dress with 2 straps so it's a convertable dress that they can wear as tube , halter, one shoulder. Can wear bra :p

I think most likely I will custom make too although it might end up slightly more ex than off the rack dresses.

Btw how long did it take to make the dresses?

This is the convertible dress type. I haven't order mine so can't confirm the quality but i have the pics from the pereson send me.
Let me know if you interested, I can forward you the details and the contact.

Elas Dress is very bad. I ordered a veil from her and it was late. Multiple phone calls and SMSes were left unanswered. When it finally arrived 1 month late, the edges were jagged and there was a huge, uneven seam right down the middle of the veil. She was supposed to get it replaced within 3 weeks, but 1.5months later, still no news. Once again, throughout this time, no response to SMSes or calls; she basically disappeared and I had to call her assistant. When I finally managed to get in touch (4 whole months after my initial order), she told me she'll refund the veil. That's not the point, because as a bride, you just want to have everything in place. All in all, my veil never got delivered.

Wow thanks for the reply! Headache, still don't know what colour I wanna set for my bridesmaid. Maybe have to go the shop and see. If buy in bulk is it cheaper? Or it's flat rate at $26/pc for convertibles?

Hi everyone, it's been a while since anyone posted here but I thought I might still try.

I'm looking for a tailor to make custom made bridesmaid dresses.

Thanks!
