Cheongsam (II)

Finally collected my CS!

was quite a mad rush for me.. arranged to meet with Kim on wed.. initially thought that I could collect my CS that day.. But I wasn't quite satisfied with the product.. so I told her to do some modifications.. thankfully that Kim lives in the eastern part of SG and my dear parents are sending me off that day.. no choice but to collect the CS about 1 hour before check in time at the airport..

The final product is good.. mom saw it and was very pleased.. and she had good praises of Kim.. so now we'll have to see what is outcome of the PS.. looking forward to it..

Arrived!

AH just told me that the tuxedo studs that he ordered from Ebay have arrived..!

yay~ now we can finally visualise how his white shirt will look like when we collect it next week.. was quite worried that it might not arrived on time..

Sidetrack abit.. I've finalised the design of my CS with Kim last Sat.. she commented that the colour I bought was abit dark for me.. but AH love that colour.. oh well, as long as the man is happy.. Since he is paying.. hiak hiak hiak~

I may be changing the design to a short CS, either knee length or 3/4 length.. there goes the 1 metre+ of cloth I bought.. AH say long CS looks like waitress (idiot right).. When I wanted a long CS initially, he just kept quiet.. After Kim drew the design of CS, he commented its too "waitressy".. Grrr.. Maybe I'll just ask Kim to make a top out of the remaining cloth.. or donate to her, in return for a cash rebate.. :P

CS Fabric Shopping

Met AH late morning to shop for fabric at Arab street.. we didn't explore any other shops expect Royal Fabrics which Kim recommend.. Too many choices can be a bad idea too..

We looked at the different laces in the shop.. the prices can range from $20/m to about $150/m.. I wanted french lace initially to make my CS.. but the price of french lace is really steep! Worse still, I need about 3 metres of laces as I need more "scallops" for my asymmetrical design.. That will amount to about $300-400 just for the laces!!

I printed the design I wanted & showed to the sales lady in the shop.  She showed us the german laces which are cheaper and can also do the design I wanted.. The colour we wanted has 2 different flower motif designs.. and we spent quite some time deciding which flower motif we wanted.. settled for the bigger flower at the end.. However, this piece of fabric does not have nice scallop sides.. So the sales lady told us to get 1 metre of the small flower motif (this piece has nicer scallop sides).. She say that Kim can also cut out the flowers from the fabric and sew over the other lace as a design too..

So all in all.. spent $116 on all my fabric.. now need to look for wedding shoes.. :P

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!
