Select Gowns

Just sth to share ya... do try to neg. with your BS (Bridal Shop)... if u taking PS (photo shoot) with them... try to get gowns different from AD la... else lugi le.... should push them!! u never know what u can get if u dun ask.... Just say other ppl also like that forum say one hahahhahaha [sometimes it works ok]

My own opinion...
For PS - Gown choosing & fitting:
Just 1-2wks before shooting.... unless u got custom make gowns then diff ya...or u have a gown in the shop that u LOVE so much that u MUST want to wear it for PS... then got to reserve it.. [esp if u planning to take pic during peak wedding time like end year]

For AD -Gown choosing:
most ppl do it together when they choose for PS gowns... so u can choose like 5-6 gowns u like.. depends how many gowns u have for PS & AD... so u can pick which to wear for PS And which to wear for AD... no duplicate... Then for AD fitting same lor.. 2-3wks before AD to make sure the measurement ok then fine already.... TAKE PIC!!! hahaha else 1 yr later when ur AD u already forget what u choose hahahhaa...

Do try ALL type of gowns... halter... low cut.. diff style ... to see which one suit u best.. take pic then after that can see the pic and choose... BS usually allow la.. coz u already sign their package ma.... You never know how u look like unless u try it... [some sales no patient then ask u get one then fix that one.. dun bother about them.. YOU are the one going to wear the gowns.. try until u satisfied!] hee hee :P oh beside type.. color also.. try la.. no need money ma hahahahha but dun bring too many sister/ friends there.. and make sure your hubby got some kind of entertainment if he going with u.. else very boring for them hahahaha :P

For those have custom make hor... it will be best if u have take some time to do some reserach before go... else u go there everything also "designer" say only.... dun like must say.... by the way do check with the designer how long they need to make the gowns.. so u know when to go talk to them when is the 1st fitting 2nd fitting etc... things that rush to produce is never good...

here are some website which I used to see before I get my own gowns... quite nice and got alot of diff style.. hope is useful for those who want to MTM or those want to know what kind of gowns there are in the market... you can even order oversea from some of the web if u really want
