Hi,
I have to say that i have been to the webby Cat posted on the kerbaya. I chose Amor Meus for one simple reason, i get to choose the flowers (on the kerbaya) i want. So if u want it loud then u choose loud patterns and loud colours. If not, u can have it as sedate as u want. Plus the top is custom made, ie fit exactly to ur body. Francis (the owner) will actually do the top so that u can even wear it during or aft ur pregnacy. thus the heftier price tag. I know of a bride that paid only $700 for the top and the bottom. (top abt $400 which is similarly priced as Alley Baba). If u choose cotton sarong, the total price is only $500. So Amor Meus is not very ex. It depends on one's taste, plus u got the ease of ur mind cos u get to see how fine the embroidery is. Would advise u to go and take a look at least, discuss it with Francis and see how to work around ur budget.
Another shop u might wanna go and see is Bibi Rumah at 113 East Coast Rd. They are pretty gd too.
