Hi Parmida
Fix the venue first ... as for BS.. i think u still hv time ... so it is important that you do some homework and list down what time that you would need and everything in black and white and check with them what is the extra cost that you might incurr beside the basic package. I think i have post a link earlier which i have copy from some thread that would help brides that have not sign up.
And you can go the the BS thread to read before you sign up ??
So far, for my BS it is no extra cost involve for my BS excpet for additional photos ??
I would say their package, mtm gowns, photo style is not bad. But for service, i would say is so-so not bad but not very good...
Hi Cuite
As you have seen the above thread .. we hv brides mtm shrug, shawl to add on for the nite. While day time use veil to cover ? Ask your BS what they suggest ??

Hey Don, the two gowns with lacy sleeves are nice .. very romantic hee. I saw something like that in DiGio too. Your WG looks good, the corset-style back is sexy hehe
Dearris, your EG looks great too .. my FH likes the colour of your gown. Now I'm more confident to visit BS with all your input hee
dummyspy, what kind of gowns did u try for your OTR?

http://www.thejamushop.com/slimming_gel.htm
The jamu site is so expensive wor, US18, me selling @ $13.90 on yahoo auction. If you all keen, will sell to you gals @ $12 will do.
This gel is really hot, my colleague aunt apply regulary lost 1 size down, she recommend to me 1. But as usual i only use 1-2 time then stop using. Lazy to apply.
DiGio got plus size grown? Nice mah? I sign up with GHA but i can go DiGio to choose grown too. I went GHA tampine see the sz 11 rom dress (OTR) with bf few weeks ago, but i saw nothing i love at first sight kind, my bf ask me DiGio take a look, have haven't got the time to drop by with bf.

Hi everyone ,
this thead is getting very happening =)
sometime really read until blur dunnoe who to reply... hahaha ...
My WG is bustier too. and i also choose the lace-up look at the back cos i alway like this style more sexy ?? hahaha... but actually, my designer told me zip is the better choice cos it will be more fitting when you compare to the lace up. cos if lace-up, you must know how to tie it to make it fitting. But i dun care.. i just like the lace up.. Anyway, my MUA know how to tie for me mah..
My BS is same as Hedgehog. =) I call my designer yesterday, tell him about my shoe is 2.5" .. he say too short .. the taller the merrier to look great .. cos it will make us look slimer .. hmm... might be start to go around and see see look look again ...And i ask him whether got more OTR gowns for me to try or not.. he say they are starting to do mor new bigger size gowns .. heehee
I tell him must more ... cos i am bringing BBW friends to visit them ... hahaha...
Hi Mage,
How much have you pay ? I would suggest you go down and try and see, if they really do not have what you want, you might be able to consider to change BS. Beside MTM, they must at least hv some OTR for you lor..else your PS is only 2 sets of gowns ?? But you are sz14 only rite ? shld be alrite lah compare to me sz18...
If you scare they ask you to pay, take out all your credit cards and atm card and keep it. Show them your wallet is empty.... hahaha

dearris, I only paid $100 deposit! Hehe!
Probably will make appointment to go down next week or something. I'm also not willing to pay more deposit if they have nothing nice for me or if they ask me top up money for MTM gowns. Hehe!
I might not be doing PS. Might go for photo taking after my AD luncheon. So probably will only require 1 WG that's all.
Size14 is plus size after all. Maybe scared cause size 14 also can't get clothes easily in SG.

Yeah yr grown is nice. Hehe...
Yvonne is nice to you wor Mage, $100 deposit only. They asking me for 50% deposit when i drop by their booth. Emm..thought i not a photographer but i find that their showcase photo album lighting or color sometime not right, maybe you can keep a lookout for them. Their grown is pretty nice thou.
Btw Mage, you not taking PS, then you taking the packages or you taking alacat, kind of confuse.
Oh, the La Senza bra really nice, my sis worn bright orangy pink we just bought to Rapellez for face, all the consultant n therapist are asking me where to buy etc. Good Deals Really + Nice color & Design, worth drop by to see if you're in town.
Miss Bean, yr grown is nice wor, EG a bit plain, maybe you can add a little details.

Hey ladies, is it too late to actually start soucing for BS in Dec if my AD is nov next year? I don't think I'll be able to source around for BS leisurely as my work will keep me busy all the way until Dec *sigh*
Hi ladies,
I'm sure it will be good for plus size brides to engage in a bridal studio that allows for Made-to-measure gowns since OTR WG and EG may be too limited. And you'll get whatever designs you want without worrying if they're able to alter it! =)
So here I am, with a comprehensive package most suitable for u! I'm letting go the package from Fiori Bridal cos I have decided to go overseas for my bridal photo shoot instead. I've only paid $200 deposit. Willing to let go at a lower price.
It is a very comprehensive package, $3000nett, that provides:
-1 MTM Wedding gown,
-1MTM Evening gown,
-ROM packages (inclusive of OTR wedding gown),
-26pcs of photos 12X15,
-6 costumes for studio shooting
-100 4R photos to give away and
-1 bestman's attire
-1 bridemaid's gown
-car with driver
-MANY MANY MORE!
The owner is very good with DIY and is really value-for-money.
Interested parties have to go back to them to place another round deposit by 15/07/2007 to secure the package. Package is OPEN date and transferable.
For more details, please PM me/ leave ur email in this thread.
***please do not use this package details to negotiate with them as the boss has specially given us extra freebies. Hehe!
Thank you so much! =)

Hi gals,
I'm also a plus-size bride. Went for my gown fitting yesterday. So sad!! All cannot wear.. except 2 which is not so nice. Although package allow me to MTM, but still.. quite demoralized when i can't even try the style. So have to try hard to lose weight now..
Can you gals send me your pics too? [email protected]... Thanks!

Charmaine, I didn't visit DiGio personally but I saw their gowns in one of the bridal mags and I called them to enquire, they said they don't have a lot of OTR gowns for plus-size but they do MTM. I find their designs quite unique
dearris, my package is MTM gown. So I probably will try for the design and get Yvonne to MTM my gown.
Charmaine, you from LD also right? Cause I went to check them out even without a fixed AD date. I was interested to sign up but I told them I can only afford to put a $100 deposit. So its kind of a take it or leave it kind of thing. Hehe!
I signed for the package but when I remember Yvonne saying I can just pay for the gown or whatever I'm going to use first. So probably I will just take the gown and do the PS maybe after my AD or don't do at all. See how.
