Hi Chijmes,
When I went for gown fitting, I didn't ask for exclusive range. Actually me also very fussy, tried almost 2 hours before deciding. Though after looking at some of the photos from the style wedding show, me also like not very contended with my design. Almost wanted to ask for a change, but then again, I kind of forgot how my own gown looked like. No photo, also got a hundred other things to do, that's why. Anyway, my FH said to just take that gown and concentrate on looking for a EG.
I've never met Sammi before, but from what they said, she's good. You should be safe and in good hands. My coordinator is Irene. She's ever patient and digs and digs until I feel so paiseh. I will go down on 26 Nov and choose my EG again. If cannot find anything I like, then got to MTM too. My FH also agreed on that. 26 Nov will be my trial make-up day and measurement taking too.
Not too sure if topping up for the crystal is worth it. Unless the crystals are huge, otherwise I think most people cannot see them right? I took a huge pin-on ribbon and a simple train instead of having an elaborate train. What is important is that you must be happy with what you see in the mirror.
But if not happy then go for MTM la (if budget is comfortable). Better be happy then sulky. After all, it is once in a lifetime.
So when is your next appt?
