Hi Ferlis,
Thanks for checking with me.
We spend around 5hours there. Selected 2 wedding gowns and 2 evening gowns for the photoshoot. Didn't get to select my AD gowns as they said my AD in Dec.. so still early.
The wedding gowns are ok.. but the evening gowns are really quite limited. I went with my hubby only. I saw several couples who went with a gang of jiemeis/ family, happily taking pic of every gown they tried. I didnt managed to take any pic of the gown.. I don't know is it because we only 2 pax so when I asked if I can take a pic of my gown... they said no. So sad... especially when I had brought my cammie and see everyone happily snapping away and I don't even have a pic.
To be frank, I am not happy with the 1st fitting. Infact, I feel very pressure and stressful while trying the gowns, especially the evening gowns. The first 5-10mins in the fitting room was good, as I felt like a princess wearing those gowns... but as time passes and when we cant seems to find something that suit me, its really terrible.
My hubby is the one selecting the gowns for me as I am not very good with these. So when I show my hubby and he doesn't like them, we will ask for other gown quite quickly as we didnt want to waste time. But its not the case for them. They just keep us waiting there and then after sometime, ask if we ok, but we already told them not ok and get other gowns.
There's another bride trying in the other fitting rooms and she tried a gown 'type' that they didnt brought to us and we thought it look quite nice. So my hb ask them to let me try something that look alike. They show the disapproving look and tell me that the gown may look good on others, doesn't mean that it will suit you. And if you really want, I can get the SAME gown for you but it really does not suit you at all. Imagine how i felt when she said that? It was terrible, but I didnt want to make things worse, so I told her that we just want to try something alike to look at the effect. Their words really make me felt very lousy.
When we moved on to try for the evening gown, they keep telling us that the 1st gown that I tried is the best. But hb don't really like it and ask for others. After 2-3 more trying and hb still not satisfied, he ask them for other gowns. But they seems like not wanting to get gown for me anymore and they ask hb.. what kind does he want and even told him to pick the gown from the rack himself. But the thing is... we cant really see hw the gown look like off the rack. And each time they get a gown for me to try, they kept telling me the 1st one is good etc... I felt soooo sandwiched. 1 side forcing me to take and hubby kept feeling that its not that nice. And when hb decide to just grab 1 gown, one that I really don't like it, I told him to take the 1st gown which is of the same colour, and at least I kinda like it 70% and Im not sure if hb grab this on impulse or he really like it. But hb is not happy with the 1st gown and kinda of object but he gave in to me later. I felt quite upset over this because I don't really like the 1st gown actually and definitely the 70% like of the 1st gown does not justify to have such squabble with hb. Not worth it loh.. and I don't know if is it because I caved in to their constant psycho or what.
And my 2nd evening gown selection is also not really our 'perfect' evening gown. Its more of a convenience choice and selected just right after we decide on the 1st evening gown. And its really plain without much beading. It was selected because we felt kind of stuck... they doesnt seems like want to bring any gown to me anymore and no one bother to help me wear the can-can anymore. I was trying the last few gowns without can-can although they are suppose to come with it inside. And they told me to imagine myself.
And before you all start thinking that I was trying tons of gowns there, I only tried around 5 wedding gowns for my studio photoshoot, 6-7 evening gowns and 2 outdoor wedding gowns.
I did tell hb beforehand that we don't really have to confirm the gown on that day. But he felt that it doesn't matter since the gown standard is like that and we will have to waste another day for this again.
Haiizzz... the only consolation that I got was... these gowns are only for my photoshoot.. not actual day, so I got another chance for a re-selection. But.... I am not really looking forward to the day of selection again.
PS. Sorry, for not reporting back here earlier as I was hoping to just forget this whole episode.
