Outcome of the AD gown selection on 2 July (Fri)

I finally went for my actual day gown selection at Venus Bridal. I was told by many that Venus are famous for their gowns. However, I was quite disappointed with the selection of the gowns.

I can't imagine choosing gowns for 5 hours... Super tedious task. So many gowns to change and try... Cute Gregory almost fall asleep while I was changing. After changing so many times, still can't find what I really want. I like a very grand, princessy gown with alot of crystals, beads and embroidery... Other criteria also includes minor minor details like

- Must look new (Some of the gowns I tried are already have abit of wear and tear)

- Need zips instead of tie up for convenience sake (Understand from Ivy that nowadays, most new gowns that comes in are all tie up.... So no choice. Out of my 3 gowns chosen, 2 are tie up. haiz...)

- Don't need long trains cos I'm careless and might trip and fall. (That eliminates more gowns because quite a number come with long train)

- I wanna have ball gowns with can can.(This is not too hard to achieve as alot of gowns are with can can. )

My coordinator, Ivy took out quite a number of the latest popular gowns for me to try, but none suits me.. maybe I don't have outstanding figure or face feature. That's why it looks awful on me rather than being outstanding. After so many hours of trying, I only managed to confirm 1 evening gown which is brown in colour and with zip... Convenient for me to change to other outfits. Just when I was about to give up my search, my coordinator took out 2 new gowns for me to try. Supposed to be a custom made gown by another bride, so it was not on display yet. Although it's not exactly what I want, but it still look quite new and presentable and better than other gowns. So just take whatever is available. Anyway, just wear for 1 day only. Doubt anyone can remember what I wear after a while. hehehehe... I have a sweet pink gown available for my first march in and cheongsum for my tea dress. This will add spice to my wedding.

*** This wedding gown still fulfil my criterias. Very new/alot of nice beads & embroidery/ can put can can/ no train and no need to be afraid of trip and fall. Only disadvantage is the tie back which I hated...

Selected evening gown 1 (This is the only gown with zip) - For 2nd march in

*** There are really very few pieces of newer gowns with zips. This is the only few new pieces with zip and I'm still comfortable with the design.

*** The colour is a bit too outstanding. But who knows, maybe with Liffey professional makeover skills, I might look outstanding too. Best part of this gown is it's new!!!!!!

Another item off my list.

I have fixed another date for hubby selection of suits as 24 Sept & AD gown collection date as 21 Oct. Looking forward to actual day...
