Hi Michelle

I think Im the most KS around here. My AD is at 07 March 2009. That is about 18 months later. But according to some fengshui master, 2008 is not a good year for me and my FH. so have to take this date (almost cry when my MIL insisted that we take this date) hahahhahahahaha.

I think I'm wearing size 14 to 18 from DP. I'm very stress over the wedding even thought my AD is so much later. Errrr. At first me and my FH budgeted to spend around 30K or less with the banquet. But now with all the increasing of prices, I think we have to save another 10K more liao.

Anyway, I'm a very lazy bride when its comes to choosing BS. I just ask around my friends first. Confirmed about 10 BS shop. Then I just go to the BS to look at the range of WG that have cause some BS may not have a wide range for plus size brides. Then I look at the packages. Most importantly, you must be comfortable with their service.

If you are still looking for BS, I wish to recommand My Bridal Room (opp Bugis Junction) to you. Service is really good. Not very pushy! The lady that serves me even let me try on some of the WG and offer some advises. But a little pricy compare to other BS la.

Hi Chimes,

Thanks for the URL. Will take a look and participate in the discussion =)

Btw I walked past a shop (Attitude) in Marina Sq #02-232r yest.......nearer to GV side, it carries plus size fashion @ much affordable prices than Dorothy Perkins or Mark & Spencer. The designs are nice too. The two shop owners, Linda and Joanne are very warm and offer good services, they even helped me to sew two small silver button studs on my top. U guys can check it out one week later when free cos they hv new stocks coming in now and then.

Sizes
-------
Tops (size 40-50, L-5L)
Bottoms (sizes 30-40 inches, XL-6L)

Cheers,
Michelle

Hi girls,

I'm so sad....I jst saw my ROM pictures..They turn out really bad..*sob sob* I look ugly! Like a big round meat ball! So sad...

No wonder my mil was commenting that my hubby's aunties were asking why i'm so fat while all my sisters are skinny. Well..it's not as if i want myself to be fat, i'm like that since young. I can't help being fat and different from my sisters. Life's so unfair... all came out frm the same factory but why 3 other sisters are skinny type and i'm the only odd one out??

Hi Charmaine, it's really ugly..i rather not share..sorry.

JL & ZZ, fat_fat79,
Thanks...it warms my heart abit. I, too always consoled my buddy who's bigger than me whenever she's down. But when it happens to me, those words i've said to her doesn't seems to work for me.

Anyway i guess it's my mentality that needs to change as i can't please everybody in the world. As long as my husband loves me for who i am will be more than sufficient rite?

Tingz, cheer up, not we are big size, it when the small one stand beside up, we become big. I too got two sisters that are skinny. As long as we present ourselves with confident. But the only time my confident drop is when I can't grad a dress anytime i want. cheer: :p

hey girls... dun be despair abt ur figure or weight... i am also a plus size bride... was very sad when i could not fit into my EG... my heart literally shattered when my designer told me even if they let all the cloth out i will not be able to fit...

so the advice here is to get MTM WG & EG..i only got WG but not EG...so if i can't fit into any OTR gowns i got to MTM and top up....

i 1st tried my EG in april 07... around 18-20 april... took my measurements for my wg on 18 mar 07...i was really upset...and tried to control my diet...

in jun, 1 mth b4 my ps, i went to try my gown...and the EG fits!!! it's tight but it fits!!! and my WG had to be altered smaller...

during my PS in jul... my arms are still the problem area... so just try to tone...

on sun 14 oct... my EG had to be taken in... my WG was loose around the waist area...

coming this sat will be my wedding... so if i can fit into my gowns, i'm sure any of u girls can too...have confident... cos u r the one carrying and wearing the gown.... i even got commented by another designer that I walk like a model, carry my gown very well, turning very well in my gown etc...

so girls...dun be despair... have confident..and do not listen to other pple's comment... cos it's just human to bring other pple's confidence level down..jsut ignore and u will do well..ok????

Hi Baleno

20K incl dinner? It really depend on what you want and no of guest. I have set my budget as dinner est. about 25K as Im getting about 30tables And the rest I will try to keep it as 10K to 15K incl BS.

I would like to ask if we must have a theme for the wedding? I have been thinking about what theme to have but cant thought of anything that is special. Any sugguestion?

Hi ladies,

Jus an update - my hubby & I had finally signed up with a bridal studio located near Parkway.

It is recommended by my gd fren cos her cousin owned it. It is just a small studio, not a famous one.....but Celine - her cousin, the bridal studio owner and her younger sis are the gown designers. They are very warm and friendly. They always try their best to accommodate our requests.

All stuffs that they gave us in our package will easily cost much more elsewhere cos all these require top up.....but they only charge us the cost of the bridal package - $4988.

My hubby and I are very grateful to them so we would like to share more abt their bridal studio with everyone here....

Our Bridal Package -
1. 1x WG, EG & Outdoor gown (all MTM to cover kelliod scars on my chest)
2. 1x free rental of Kua (no tea dress cos my Outdoor gown already MTM)
3. 2x Groom's suits
4. 1x MTM pants for Groom to keep
5. Both Father's suits
6. 1x Mother in law's gown (MTM if no suitable gown) with AD makeup for Mother in law
7. 2x Fresh bouquets for AD & PS
8. Jaguar with chauffeur and petrol
9. Decorations for bridal car & 4 accompanying cars
10. AD Makeup (morn & eve)
11. Indoor photoshoot makeup - 6 outfits (WG, EG, OG, Kua, Korean, Jap) & one optional HK Sch Uniform for Bride if we manage to purchase, Groom can wear black suit with Mandarin colar for the guy's version of HK High Sch Uniform
12. Special request for some of the photos of our Indoor photoshoot to include both my Father & Mother in law.
13. Transport for outdoor PS (Groom drives)
14. 3 Outdoor locations + Night shoot
15. 80 shoots for albums (no need to top up)
16. 1x 18R album - 32pgs (no lines in btwn pages)
17. 1x 15R album - 32pgs (no lines in btwn pages)
18. Magazine style with digital effects - all different photos for both albums

Dear all,

Just saw a similar thread by another lady somewhere. So thot of writing one here....

Wonder if any kind souls doing spring cleaning and have plus size clothes or shoes in size 7 or 8 to give away? Would love to have them if u dun mind.

Appreciate anything from L to XL or XXL size tops, dress, skirts, pants or jeans in 32 or 34.

Not fussy in terms of design or condition, as long as in usable, good condition.

Will self collect at a convenient mrt station.

Will also share with other ladies if the cutting/ sizes are not suitable.

Kindly drop a PM.

Thanks very much in advance =p

Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me with this advice.
I'm around size UK18-20 I've got a wedding to attend in a couple of months and i'm looking at wearing a long evening dress (not too formal not to casual).
Don't know which style would suit. tube top style or v-low neck style or halter type of dress? Help! Which would suit more? well i can say for me i've got huge bust for my size =) plus not so flattering arms.
Would like a flowy dress that don't show the tummy area.

or anyone knows where i can get a dress which is not expensive type?

Hi Jami,

You might want to try this brand "The Station" available in Robinsons, they carry dresses up to UK size 20. I used to be a size 18 and I used to get my dresses there. U might want to check out Dorothy Perkins too, sometimes, they have nice dresses for parties.

hello all, i haven't been to this forum in awhile i can't seem to find the thread and i'm kinda new to this whole forum thing still getting the hang of it.

last i remembered was getting advise for a bridal studio for a plus sized bride like myself, and i was on the verge of not even taking my bridal photos coz i was scared i will spoil the whole thing, well, just to keep you ladies in the loop, i have taken my bridal photos with a bridal studio which we picked from the bridal roadshow sometime last year its not so fantastic i guess when u see the raw photos, u see all the imperfections, and believe me my hubby did not need any DI at ALL! he's as perfect as can be. whereas me on the other hand, i needed the DI terribly! everywhere! my arms, double chin, spare tyres! OMG! its a disaster!

but just the other day we went back to the studio to see the recent DI photos, i was amazed at how i looked, but till the point it looked too fake! haha... but we have told them to improve on it, make me look the way i am but remove the slight imperfections here and there... phew... our wedding is this coming 20 sept! and time is passing by so fast and we haven't even finish our preparations.
