Hi Ladies!

How's everyone here? Hehe been mia.. so much settling down and relative-visiting to complete. we've been making our rounds abt town to thank relatives for their help during my mly wedding. tiring sia!

Bitchy wife, cyc and meiling, how are yr cs? Meiling's shld be done issit? Paisay a bit forgetful :p

Sotonglet, so you are making a gown ah? With who?

Hello msclaire! Hehe... thanks thanks! I bought my german lace and satin lining from Royal Fabrics on Arab St.. For 3m and 2.5m respectively, I paid a total of slightly less than $120 for materials. :D Spent a while picking the shades that match coz every diff match gives a diff effect. Very fun shopping for them :D You can check out tt stretch.. one fren recently mentioned that this shop called ali baba on tt stretch also not bad. Hv fun recceing ya!

Take care girlies!
 
Hey Aatiyah, I really liked working with Wilson. He's very nice and helpful with suggestions. I bought german lace too, but it's lil pricier. Anyway I think i shall close one eye on how much i am spending. Just enjoy the process hehe. I am so excited, can't wait to go for fitting on 19th

Heya ladies!

Msclaire, glad you found wilson good to work with! haha, he makes you feel like zoe tay getting advices from david gan hor? :D Haha ya, i rmb when i started looking i had a budget too.. then when i burst it i felt a bit bad, but aiyah wat the heck. only once in my lifetime! Glad you hvg fun ;)

Meiling, sch is some parts ok some parts stressful. Coz Im doing my TA in a all-boys primary sch... all the reflection and lesson plans is driving me nuts.. hahaha coupled with the settling dwn, it can get a lil stressful. How abt you? Wat lvl you teach ah?

Bitchywife, how are your preps? Everything going good for you? btw are you going into shopping malls for yr ps ah? Pics not ready yet leh. my photog is my husb's manager, and they are busy at work, so dun wanna push too much. I'll just wait patiently...

sch life's been crazy as well, got a few major things coming up e.g EV n BENs reassessment :P i dun teach, i wk as an AM in a sch :P
 
Hey msclaire, ok tonite also can. np abt tt.

Meiling, so you are an AM ah? i wonder how does one apply to be an AM of a sch.. another stupid qn: that makes you a public servant too rite?
happy.gif

aatiyah,
yes, im an AM, i applied under EAS position when i 1st graduated frm NUS....hehehe, yah dat makes me a civil servant as well :P oppsss....u mean u r wif dat prestigious sch? hehehe, i know which one le :P
 
Hi Aatiyah,

Am new here and am also thinking of making a short cheongsam with lace for my tea dress. May I know where is max couture and can I have wilson's contact details? How much did you buy your lace material and from where? Please email me at [email protected].

hi Tracy, you must have had a long day! But loved the way your PG captured the happy emotions throughout the day. Can totally feel the mood by looking at the pictures.

Btw, is one of your BM Felicia? She's a friend from uni..
 
Hi msclaire,

I saw your gown at wilson's shop... very pretty... I like the way he joined the flowers to make it like a whole piece and the beadings on the flowers make it so classy...

Meiling, I went down to taka but they do not have my size so in the meantime waiting for new designs... hee.. I think u have the pair I wanted hee... lots of bling bling and is 4"
 
Angeljules, i love the way he did that too! If he didn't add the flowers near the collar, it'd be pretty normal. Now he made it more special by joining them all of them up.

Where is paradox again? i'm trying to find a 4-4.5" shoes heee recommendations pls??
 
angeljules,
wah...nvm, did u chk wif them when d new stock will arrive? mayb got nicer ones later on...if got new designs, do let me know ok?

msclaire,
u can go to takashimaya ladies shoes dept or palais renaissance b1 to find paradox shoes....d prices shd b $300+ on d average ba....but really pretty n bling bling, u'll fall in love after wearing them

Hi ladies, my AD will be on 25 Apr 09. I am DIY-ing and will be having CS as my EG.
happy.gif
So glad I find this thread.

Aatiyah, totally love your CS! Looks so good on you! I will definitely be shortlisting Wilson. Hehe~ But I have no idea on what type of materials to use or the design I want yet. Wilson is able to advise me?

Bitchy Wife, your CS colour very nice! and looks really good on you. I like the design too. Good luck on your photoshoot next week ya.

Anyway, I have a budget of $500, will it it be enough for materials and workmanship?
 
Khim, it depends on the materials and the beadings you wanna use. I think Aatiyah's is below 500.

I think best is to call Wilson directly and ask him for his quotes and stuff. He changes the design slightly for different person depending on the body shape, even if they asked for the same style. Of course he will design a CS that best suit your figure.
 

thanks SotongLet! I will give him a call.

WOW msclaire! your CS is awesome. How much did you pay in total (workmanship+materials)? And do you have the unit number for Wilson's shop?

thanks!
