sure, why not?
sorry missed that out... but i'm more interested in the classes like bodycombat leh... besides that i do more cardio then weights.. cos scared that i will end up adding bulk. I think it's better for us to lose the weight before we try to tone with weights, rite?
Hello girls!!!
I'm back! Just came back from a short trip to China, Guangzhou to buy kuas.
Getting desperate liao since it's already september and I still have not found a boutique for my gowns!!! Wedding in early May so that leaves me only 8 months! Argh!
JLC's MTM package has gone up to abt $4K so it's way too expensive. Any girls got updated packages from other boutiques to recommend?
It's been real quiet here these days...where has everyone gone to? Hear from you soon!

Hi Mudpie
Glad to hear from you. Your wedding is in May and you still haven't sign up . I believe that is pretty late already. So far how many Boutiques have u been to apart from JLC. I think most of us had already sign up and move to individual threads already.
Have you been to Jawn yet. Their MTM package still starts from $3+++ and I would say their gowns are indeed different and unique. The last time you actually mentioned that you wanted to buy your gowns from oversea so did you managed to secure anything?
Good Luck and Buck up.

Hi Mudpie,
Really kinda quiet in here huh.
Wow, you mean you make a special trip to Guangzhou to get your kwa??? Then your kwa is really expensive hor. Was it a fruitful trip??? You know of a shop there famous for their kwa??? Where is it??? How much???
I know people travel to Hongkong to get their kwa... now china. Hmm, any idea what's the address or name of shop in both HK and CHN???

Hi Gals,
Glad to see this thread coming alive..
Has been very quiet for sometime....
Wow Mudpie, you bought your Kwa from China? A special trip to get it? You may like to pay a visit to Lezen Creation at Mandarin Hotel. They are currently having a promotion and their MTM package is at $3K+++. Good deal. I am might rent their Kwa for my wedding.
Worried, you can pay a visit to Lezen Creation.
As for getting a short length teadress, you can try Empire. Their contact no. can be found at the homepage of Singaporebrides.
Hope this info helps.

HI all
so happy that the thread is alive again.
Worried,Blurdoey and Summer,
Jawn happy ever after is located at Orchard Road, Le Meridien Hotel Lobby #03-16. Please call them up at 67361178 for an appt as they only see customer by appointment only.
The designers are very friendly and they really make you feel wonderful being a bride and not comprising even though we are bigger. One of the designer says as she is on the bigger side so she understand how we felt exactly.Drop them a visit, you will understand what I mean.
But I guess most of us would have to take Made to Measure Gowns due to our sizing so I believe we would not have to worry about lengthe and sizing rather more importantly we would need a designer that could design a gown that are flattering and hid our flaws.
Worried,
It is not easy for gers like us to find dresses. why don't you try to MTM. It may be the easier way out.

Hi Worried,
Check out for Lezen Creation, its contact is just on the front page of Singaporebrides. You can look for Cythnia. I understand that their package is about $3800 plus for MTM package. Better for you to call them. They are now relocated at Mandarin Singapore Hotel.
As for your MTM dress, I didn't know that Empire is so expensive. Off hand, I can't think of any place in specific. But, you may like to shop down Orchard Road, else, can try out Melissa.

Hi all,
I'm a 16 too. But the worst thing is that I am not tall. Sigh.
Worried,
Have you tried Dorothy Perkins and Marks & Spencer. Sorry really don't know where else to recommend off hand too.
Blurdoey,
Actually could understand what you mean about MTM, I guess everybody will have the same worry. That is why for us we have to be even more particular about the designer we engaged.
Summer,
Actually I was being recommended to them as well by a friend who engaged their services. They really managed to make her look stunning unlike the previous shop that she went to ( She actually signed up elsewhere before that and did a MTM gown). That is why they come highly recommended to me. After meeting them, I do realise that they are different from other Bridal Shop.

Hi,
Worried, do not panic. The more you panic, the more you won't seem to be able to find any dress. Stay as relax as possible.
Did you tried Theme? How about Isetan and Far East Shopping Centre? By the way, what is your size? You can try Celia Loe or Additions. Else, you can try Jessica, they have a shop along City Link. You may like to try Metro at Marine Square. They do have alot of dresses. Take your time to shop these few nights, I am sure you will eventually find one piece that's nice and suitable. Stay positive yah!
Btw, Lezen Creation don't have much big-sized gowns. However, if you are taking MTM, then it's alright. Oh ya, you may like to visit Jazreel Low's Collection. I signed up with them. They have many different designs and sizes of WGs and EGs. In fact, I've tried size 16-18 WGs before.Their MTM package is around $4K, but it's very comprehensive. Best of all, there's no hidden cost.
Blurydoey, wow! How did you manage to reduce 8 kgs? Did you solely do skipping and hula hoop? I need to lose all those kgs too.. have been big size all these years... Do share your experience.
When's your big day? Mine's Mar next year.
Club, so you signed up with Jawn Ever Happy After? The lady you mentioned is called Susan, right. I went down to their shop before too, but eventually, I didn't sign up with them.
Summer, so how's your research on the bridal boutiques? When's your big day?

Hi all, for my dieting, I did try the cambridge diet for 3 days, and then on and off eat boiled vegs for lunch and sometimes skipped dinner, went swimming each alternate days if not doing swimming I be going to gym once a week for the threadmill(I dun really like running)I try to skip every morning for around 600 times plus some situps and leg lifts and I also do leg lifts at office when I am free...so most of the time devoted to skipping, sometimes I also skipped in the evening. The results is fast and I also applied slimming creme on my legs and arms I wrap it with cream and a stretcher to hold my fat arms...(which I bought from tv media) Really dunno how I got so much determination now its so hard..but no choice lor..
Hi worried U can try to tailor by express? But its gonna be expensive off hand I also dunno which boutique which joy already mentioned.
Sorry for the long message.
Oh btw, I havent booked anything yet, today I went to IMM to look at double happiness and the girl ignored me and my hubby...so I definately not going there..

Hi Summer,
Thanks! Yup, am still left with about 6 months to my wedding...but, haven't done much yet..
Fitting not so soon yet. My dinner will be at Sheraton Towers. Where's yours? Your wedding in Nov 2003, then better confirm your wedding boutique..else may be too rush for you.
Hi Passerby,
No, I don't consider you as big.. You have the height and your weight is ideal. You are proportionate.
No worries.
Hi Blurydoey,
FYI, I tried on many WGs and EGs with Jazreel Low before signing up their package. As for Jawn, they didn't allow me to try on any gowns during my visit. They only show me sketches of their gowns. Hence, I don't know if Jawn has our sizes, but according to them, a no. of their customers are SQ girls..hence most of the sizes are small or medium.
Hey, I tried NTUC 3 days diet too.. but wow..you are really so determined in losing weight! No wonder you have managed to lost 8 kgs. Must learn from you.

Hi summer, shadow and joy2003: thanks for the comment... i guess everyone always feel that they are big no matter whether they are proportionate or not...
But i am very encourage now ...thanks to all of you...
Ideally, i would like to lose 3 kg then i will be happy...hee... i have been trying to skip breakfast. drink tea and eat biscuits if nec. Tty
to cut down on rice...it has helped me lose about 1.5 kg. I think i need to exercise to lose another 3 kg. My body fat is really high...and it can only be reduced thru exercise.
What your comments on Jazreel and Jawn? I have visted both and are quite impressed with them. Didnt know that Jawn serves a lot of SQ girls.

Hello ladies!
Nice to see so many old girls and new ones joining this thread. Since I haven't been very active, I find it tough to catch up with all these topics being discussed at the same time
Yes, I am getting desperate cos haven't found a boutique I like. But I have already resigned so now got more time to devote to planning my wedding.
BTW is Jawn pronounced as "john" or "yawn"? Sorry, me so 'swa ku', too paiseh to call them up and say the wrong name. Do I look for Susan?
I went to Perth to look at gowns but the situation is quite like s'pore. They have HUGE selection of OTR gowns, but all these are sample pieces from the designers like Alfred angelo, available mostly in size 12. They do have a few limited peices here and there in sizes 16-22!
Since I was too busy shopping I din have time to try on any gowns, just browsed around. Some were really beautiful!
As for my kua, I got lobang so it's quite reasonable, in my opinion. What is the market rate for rental and sale of kuas? Would appreciate it if you all can let me know...
My mom's friend knows this designer in GZ; he designs wedding gowns, dresses and kuas. Since I am a Christian, I cannot go for the mainstream dragon-phoenix type of kua. So he designed something more modern for me.
I think in terms of workmanship kuas from HK still the best. Can go up to HK$10,000 for those 100% embroidered ones. Heard it takes almost 1 year to sew cos the embroiderer's hands get sweaty so must stop so very often.
I also bought a few beaded (fully hand-sewn) long dresses. Don't think they are formal enough for my wedding but definitely yes for D&Ds etc
So happy cos they fit me like a glove, and they are in US size 18. The guy and his wife told me their wedding gowns are all exported to the US, and flipping through their albums, I could recognise some gowns/designs seen in the US bridal magazines!!! To think I once considered mail order from the US...they are all made in China and costs a tiny fraction of what the US retailers would have charged.
This is why I am confident enough to costom-make the kua with them; he and his wife are very experienced and the measurements taken are very accurate (so says my cousin, who is a great seamstress and knows what to look out for.)
I might go back again in Nov to buy some more from him. If you girls are interested, let me know and I will see what I can do. I think they make up to US size 20 (equivalent to UK 22!)
I will try to call up Jawn; called on Mon and no one picked up the phone the whole day. Are they closed on Mon?
Would appreciate you girls advising
Thank you all so much!!!
Cheers

Hi Passerby,
You can check out the thread on Jazreel Low's Collection under the bridal boutique's discussion thread for more information.
Personally, I am happy being their client.
And they aren't pushy people at all. I visited their shop 4 times, before eventually signing up with them. Haha.. I may sound rather KS, but I needed to be sure that there's no hidden cost, etc.. before I commit myself. FYI, there's no hidden cost like use of frake eyelashes, etc.
In addition, their overall package is more attractive than Jawn's. So, who served you during your visit to Jazreel? How do you feel about them?
As for Jawn, it is their staff that said they served alot of SQ girls. So did you get to try on their gowns?
Hi Summer,
My love nest? Not confirm yet..
Where's yours situated?

Hi Mudpie,
Glad to see you back on the thread! Wow, I enjoyed reading your posting too.. So informative!
Hey, I am a Christian too and also looking for kwa without the tradition dragon-phoenix type of kwa. In fact, Lezen Creation has a kwa with flowers emboidery. The rental cost is $150. I am planning to go down to their shop to check it out.
So, what's the design of your kwa? So, you will only collect your kwa in Nov? How much does it cost? After your good recommendations about them, I am keen to find out more..
Oh ya, you mentioned that your cousin is a great steamstress, right.
I am desperately looking for a steamstress who can propose design and do the outfits for my Mum and MIL for my wedding. Can help?
Btw, I aren't sure of Jawn pronunication either.. I just combined 'J' with 'awn' together
Not sure if this help...
Yup, look for Susan..it's not easy to contact her.. keep calling and you may leave a voice msg. It will be better.

Hi all,
So glad that the thread is back to life again. Had been busy and wasn't able to log in for a while.
Hi Mudpie,
Wah, so good you could get to custom made your kua. I guess it must be really impressive. Is it very costly to make one actually? Wow fully beaded dresses in size 18. Must be beautiful ...
I also like ... but it seems next to never to find things like that in Singapore.
Try pronouncing Shawn with a J instead of SH
Hi Passerby,
Actually I have been to JLC and quite a number of Boutiques before deciding on Jawn. I was also contemplating between these two boutiques as their price range are quite similar.
I like JLC too. Lynn is very friendly and nice.and they have a wide selection of gowns. The gowns were nice but i felt it is too simple. (Maybe because i wanted to look glamourous)
I choose Jawn due to their unique and different gown design and I like the team that they are working with ( Photographers, makeup artistes and Florists were all reputable so I don't have to worry about quality) And I prefer outsource photographers so I can actually choose the styling I like or even engage my own. Best of all, I realise that they are the only designers that will follow us to the photoshoot to ensure that everything is fine. Maybe I choose them because I like that dedication and assurance.
It is true that Jawn serve a number of SQ girls as some of their gowns are really so tiny but they do have a fair portion of big girls like us
Joy,
Six monthes to go, you must be really excited about it. Congrats!
Wow 4 times b4 you sign up!!

Just for your info, I saw one thread saying that there is a white tent at fajar, might be a walk in selection in bukit panjang. Is it exp to make a kua?? My gf also told to wear one as they said I am tall enough, passerby u are not fat lah, but maybe u want to make yourself more tone is it?
U mean the JL N Jawn only provide the gowns and makeup do we have to pay extra for the photography?

HI Blurdoey,
No worries,
Both of them provide gowns, makeup and photography.
The difference of JLC and Jawn would be that JLC had their own inhouse photographer whereas Jawn liase with a few different photographers so there would be more variety and you can choose the one that u like best or even engage your own if you had any in mind.
Hope this answer your question.

Hi blurdoey,
Car rental is available at Jawn but it is not included in the package. For Jawn package, there will be different package of photos for different photographers. I guess it will be easier if you could view it from them.
Hi Summer,
The MTM Men Suit is to keep while the evening gown is for rental. I engaged Andrew Tay from The Edge Photography. Actually was choosing between Linn Kong and Andrew, but hubby prefer Andrew more

Hello girls,
Contrary to your expectations, my MTM kua costs me less than S$400 (inclusive of postage, if no one can bring back for me). The beaded evening dresses all cost less than S$250 each!!! They are a steal, if you ask me! Of couse you must bargan, so the more you buy, the higher your bargaining power.
But then again if you factor in my tour package costs, the dresses are very expensive. But then I had a great time visiting my ancestral village, as well as the major cities in Guangzhou, so I think it was money well-spent.
So if you ladies are interested, we can pool our orders and get the dresses even cheaper!

Hi Worried,
May I know if you still need a dress for your sis' wedding? What size are you? I bought a US size 14 dark blue beaded dress from GZ, the same blue as the dark blue you see on the left hand side frame of this webpage.
I bought it for my bridesmaid but too big for her. If you want, e-mail me for more details ok? I can sell it to you. It's a long dress though.
