These pictures aren't meant to show one dress.

For the green one, I'm liking the style of the top. The dress IS cute, but it's not very wedding-y. So I was thinking of getting the top portion and matching it with a different, longer bottom. Suggestions?







As for the bronze one, I'm liking the electric pleating. There's something very elegant about it. Wish it were one length though instead of having a strange, shorter length at the front and back. Anyway, sideview-wise, it looks good.











Thoughts? Opinions? Should I go ahead and meet with the designer/owner and see what ideas they can offer? As for the price, it will fall between 6K to 10K depending on the material and complexity of design. Ahaaay! Help!

P.S. Oh yeah, I had to bring CH along since the rest of the girl friends weren't available and I was afraid the short dress wouldn't be around long (they only have 2 versions of it -- the other one was snapped up fast). I needed someone to take pix. Hehehe...

A Happy Coincidence

Today, CH and I went to our suking alahera to return the rough-finish rings. She did a great job preliminarily. Hope the final output will be awesome!

Anyway, while we were chitchatting, our jeweler R asks us how our preps are going. I tell her that I still don't have anything to wear. R then mentions that she actually has a wedding gown in her possession (new, never worn) that she bought in the US on a whim. It was on sale, a Jessica McClintock (dunno if I got the spelling right), and she was thinking of using the dress as a design for her soon-to-be-opened jewelry shop in Makati. Anyway, she asks what my budget is, I tell her it's P5,000 hopefully. So far, most other shops and designers have no such gown or dress in that price range. Well, she tells me she's willing to sell this gown to me for P3,000. OH MY!

But, of course, I still have to think about the fit and cost of alterations and dry-cleaning that the dress would need. Now, I need to field opinions, and that's where you come in. I've posted pix taken by my good friend Ia (at her place). She happily helped me clip it to see how it would look if the dress fit well.

At the moment, only the waist and hips are well-suited to my frame. The dress' torso is too long (plus the chest size is meant for those with bigger booomz, if you catch my drift).

So, thoughts? Should I get it for P3000?

To date, I haven't found any other dress that's already complete and ready to try on that's within the budget. The nearest I found was in Greenbelt3, but it cost P10,000 and it made me look tiny. Strange.

Ahaaay! So is this it? What do you think? DO LET ME KNOW!

Short Intro

OK, I'm back to blogger. But only for a while. I couldn't post this part of the wed plans on the wedsite since CH and I have agreed on surprising him as to what I'm wearing for the big day. :)

Short intro over. Let's proceed!
