althou it deviates abit from that "dream" gown.. I initially wanted a princessy tulle gown with a huge train for my wedding PS & AD.. but thinking of the logistic of bringing a tulle gown overseas is kinda impractical for me (tulle gowns are really heavy!!).. Moreover, tulle gowns tends to get dirty and tear more easily.. may need to pay more to repair & clean it..
So decided to go and have a look at other WG that are lighter in material & doesn't get damaged easily.. Popped by Allure Charix on Sat afternoon, without even booking an appointment.. It was about closing time then, so no customer.. Allure Charix sells OTR (off-the-rack) wedding gowns, evening gowns, cheongsam & cocktail dresses.. Each design only comes in 3 different sizes, each piece per size.. so it can consider to be quite exclusive.. Prices for each gown is about $700-900 depending on the design.. Their design is more of A-line & mermaid cut.. Not many choices of tulle gowns..
Browse through their rack & found a piece I like.. Satin A-line tube gown with white lace flowers.. I had always wanted my gowns to have something black in them.. who says wedding gowns needs to be always white or ivory in colour?!
So I asked the designer if I can tweaked her design abit.. and she gladly said "YES".. I just need to pay a small sum to top up for her to get extra black laces to sew on top on the current white laces and add on more lace flowers along the train..
Here's the final product.. Super uber pleased.. AH loves it to the bits.. and we find that we matched each other's attire.. His is classic black suit with white tuxedo shirt..
p.s: couldn't find the original photo of me wearing the gown before it was tweaked.. so can't make any comparison..
