Liltle_ger,
Wow u really got budget.
Dub,
If u scared to go to those very persistant shops, can be like me, only pick those well known designer to visit. Like, Kai, TY, TW, Divine, Dang, etc... Dun bother to goto places like Sophia, Thomson bridal (no offence to others ok) since u have budget, dun think u'll set ur eyes on these lower range BS...
I liked Tan Yoongs gowns also but his shop is really darn small (can't find a reason y he dunwanna change to s bigger shop), tried his gowns, nice!! But I got some bad attitude from him the 2nd time i went there (introduced my friend to him actually). So i dropped him off. Actually Kai is my 1st choice since the beginning.. Visited Kai 2 times also, tried his gowns, nice lace, soft looking gowns... Service is the best so far I've seen. Actually I was pissed off w TW's services 1yr ago when i was shopping for ROM dress, I'm not into embriodery actually, but decided to give him a chance after seeing some nice gowns (Evelyn Tan's EG). Went to TW last wk, attended his show, saw some nice gowns, but still dun feel gd about the service, so i guess its a NO. Visited Divine 2 times also, tried their gowns, nice girly frilly gowns, Kim is nice to talk to also, but really have doubt on their EG... So i think thats a miss also....
U can try on gowns for all those reputable BS. Julia is a Taiwanese style BS of cos u need to sign up bef seeing the gowns lah... Dun go to those BS... Waste of time only... U got budget mah... Hehehee...
