Gowns review

Went for gown testing not long ago. Confirmed my taiwan trip end of year. So excited to be taking my wedding photos overseas.

Didn't know that gown testing could be so tiring. And male opinions are really a bore. "Oh, this is nice!" "Oh, that is nice too!" Erm... No wonder there's this lyrics "I love you best when you say nothing at all". Sigh... As good as not saying anything. Sinister PICs, want to go gown testing with me next time? *grinz*

I tried a variety of gowns. Here's my own review for myself with some comments from the consultant.

Firstly, review the top aspect of the gown:

• Bustier gowns (those tube types, focus on bust area): I actually look good despite my fat arms and short height. Haa... But there're better stuff.
• Halter gowns (low V-neck): No good on me at all! Surprising, coz me usually wear lots of V-neck for my day-to-day wear. Realise is becoz of long skirts, then bodice looks very short in wedding gown. So this style is out.
• Ball gowns (very princess-like with the can-can underneath skirt): Best choice for me! Simple gowns don't look good on me. So therefore now glad that the bf took up MTM package for me. Can get to wear newly designed gown with complicated lace and embroidery.

Secondly, the skirt aspect of the gown:

• Simple fluffy skirt: Too simple. Makes me look short. Enhances my 'shortness' in comparison to the bf, even if there are pretty embroidery at the bottom of the skirt. I think too much emphasis at the bottom of the gown will let others take more notice of our height difference.
• Ruffles: Simple skirt with simple designs but takes away the 'short look'. Amazing.
• Asymmetrical ruffles: Look so sweet! Haa... I quite like that look. Btw I look awful in all-white gowns, so pink, ivory or gold would be my choice! Daring choice? Hee...

In summary, my dream gown would be like this: bustier top, closer to ball gown type, short bodice, skirt with ruffles (symmetrical or asymmetrical), no train behind for convenient walking. Well, no pic yet coz not finalised yet of coz! That's why jio-ing my PICs to test with me again the next round.

Meanwhile, enjoy the pics below. Will be posting more about my wedding preparations. Hee...
