so my sister's wedding is happening in sept. she has ordered us to get a white dress for the morning session (aka "jie-mei wear") and a gown/nice dress for the dinner reception.
the white isn't a problem because i bought one for KT's church wedding last year. still can wear it. no problemo. (fyi to future brides: besides white, i have light blue, green and black)
the evening dress is a little tricky. tricky in the sense that: one, i don't have an evening dress/gown; two, i can't seem to find something i like off the shelves/hangers; and three, even if i find something, they either don't have my size or are waaaay too expensive.
so i decided to tailor my dress. mum and i headed down to people's park on tue evening to source for a nice cloth. i picked out a beautiful bright canary yellow satin with a single huge floral design. i always pick out cloth that are not-so-easy to tailor. anyway, after browsing through countless magazines and design books, nobody got it down to what i really wanted. didn't help that i couldn't draw out what i had in mind, or even articulate it.
in comes the damsel that would save the distressed. she is the daughter of my mum's seamstress..and she got down every detail of what i wanted in a dress...in less than 5 mins! and she sketched it out with such ease!! my god! i can't wait for the first fitting now. it will be absolutely divine!!!
so yay. i'm happy i got that (sort of) out of the way. now i just need to hand my sis the list of songs so that: one, i can get the music; and two, i can practice.
and like the true "diva" that i am, there will be an outfit change on the wedding night. heh heh
