hello ladies!
aiyah, buy the corset already but i won't be using it after all. My designer says it dun really need it, coz when i tried on the gown with and without the corset, got not much difference.
in the end i went to buy a low back strapless bra for more "push-up" effect. i thot the bra cups made me look abit saggy, so the bra effect is good.
Anyway, these low back strapess bras have something like a corset effect ie to hold the bra cups up, there is a WIDE elastic band strapped across your stomach, so it sorta holds your stomach in also.
In case anyone of you is interested in getting a low back strapless bra, Triumph and Wacoal has them. Both are about $59 - $64. The triumph ones have very little stock and sizes left, so you must ask the counter staff to help you hunt for one in the other triumph outlets.
The ones at wacoal tend to crumple, so it may potentially show under your dress.
Cookiecorgi: no no, i hate thongs !!! i wore one for the 2nd fitting, and i was SOOOOO uncomfortable !!! Luckily i can wear normal panties, coz i will be wearing a girdle with my dresses, and the VPL vanishes with the extra layer. Yay !!!
(Oops, means i just blew $108 on underwear for nothing! Sigh ..... )
I took some photos of my 2nd fitting, but i haven't finished using the role of film yet. When i'm done, i'll try to source around for a scanner (my new home dun have 1 lah!). May take some time to share hor .... pls be patient.
Oh yah, i wanted to share a word of caution. I think the SARS is getting really really really bad in s'pore. maybe the oct brides gathering should be postponed till the sars is under control. better to be safe than sorry, y'know what i mean? it would be really unfortunate if a bride kenah sars just 6 months before her wedding. all of you must take care when you're outdoors ok?
have a good week ahead!
