Cheongsam

The title says it.. I'm getting a cheongsam!!! After much delibration and discussion with AH.. going through the locations that we will be doing our PS and the current gowns we have.. we decide to MTM a CS!

through reviews on SGBrides forum.. I chose Kim to tailor my CS.. she is a home based tailor and doesn't provide any fabric for making CS.. so basically she charges $150 and $180 for a short and long CS workmanship respectively.. As for fabric, we'll have to source it out ourselves and bring it back to her to make the CS..

booked an appointment with her last Sat & she told me to do my homework to bring some designs I want my CS to be for her to see.. Reached early on Sat coz I mixed up my appointment time.. but the session with her previous customer was quite fast & we ended up having a 40mins discussion.. Showed her the design I wanted and she also showed me some other designs.. and we managed to finalise a design for my CS..

As she was going for her holiday in end April, she's unable to do a fabric shopping trip.. Nevertheless, she taught both AH & myself what are the tricks of choosing laces.. and also showed us some example of laces that she currently have..and what kind of colour combination.. She empahases alot on the selection of laces as compared to satin.. since there are only three kinds of satin material.. but for laces, there are many many different types of laces.. quite an eyeopener for me and AH..

Hopefully I can remember what she has told us & I look forward to our fabric shopping next weekend!
