Hen Sunday - 2

Off we went to Rustan's to continue our search. It's crazy -- slim pickings at a huge department store. Good thing we had cupcakes first to give us our happy sugar rush:

We found only one dress to fit the requirements there:

On the hanger, I didn't like the middle part of the dress. But while I was wearing it, I saw how it actually gave the dress more character. Sort of reminds me of art deco...:

The dress is a size 8 (smallest one left). It needs alterations, if ever:

I love the skirt of this dress (see how it drapes nicely at the bottom? :D) Very elegant. I will need to learn how to walk in it without stumbling if I do get this one:


Truth be told, it's only with this dress (so far) that I got a "DIZIZIT!" moment. What's stopping me? The price tag. It's waaaaaaaay over my budget even if it's already on sale (last piece -- boo!)

The price is P8K more than if I got a budding local designer to create a gown for me (although I think she'd scream since she has less than 6 months to work on it if I did get her services).

Thoughts? Suggestions? Recommendations?
