the perfect cloth
i've found the cloth for my cheongsam! *insert a triple somersault here* yay!! i've been looking for the perfect material to make my wedding attire, and now the search is finally over! i went down town to the central market area with cat and diana yesterday...and it was so fruitful :)
this shop that we went to, Fah Num, carries a wide range of brocade cloth (usually used to make cheongsam) and we were spoilt for choice. i narrowed it down to 3, one with butterfly prints, one which was really light pink with darker pink flowers and the one that i eventually bought (white with plum/cherry blossom prints also in white).
the butterfly one was too flat (not enuf 'busyness' on the cloth) and therefore looked too plain, the light pink one was quite nice, but not quite elegant enuf. so in the end, settled for the one i've always had in mind since i saw this: http://www.efushop.com/product_pages/SCT/sct31.html
now, the next part is to choose the tailor - it's between the one in ss2 or the one in sban. i've yet to make an appointment to see the sban tailor, hopefully next weekend. i kinda like the ss2 one, they are very established and i've tried on one of the cheongsams there so i know that i like their cheongsams. but they are probably more expensive than the sban one, since it's in ss2. so we'll see how it goes...
after that, i stil need to look for white shoes to go, and decide what to do with my hair, and the make-up.
soooo many things just for one day! faints!

hi Emmy, not sure if you remember me. Was your classmate back in secondary school. I've just found your blog; and great news to know you're getting married. Congratulations to you and your fiance :)
