Honestly, I really hated white coz it's a color that doesnt flatter plus sized like me. The hunt for the perfect white dress was a nightmare for me. Went to Far East, there were some that were normal-looking ones but ridiculously priced. Not worth to put my moolah on them.
The black cheongsam was bought from ILT 96 in Jurong Point. Relatively cheap as compared to Tong Tong. Was in Shaw Tower to re-sole my shoes bought from Charles and Keith.
Decided to drop by Tong Tong to check for stuff and saw a silk jacket going for SGD 299. Not cheap but I was looking for the design as it's a black and white combo. I was very interested and decided to ask for a discount as I knew the boss. Patronised the shop before all the publicity as my office was in the same building. The interesting part was the manager of the shop made a very long call to check with her boss as I told her that I knew the owner. Her reply was she was not in town. I found it rather fishy and she kept questioning me about how much I knew about the shop. Come on, give me a break and I didnt buy the jacket. Perhaps, it's her attitude and I'm broke already.
The hunt of the perfect white dress continued as the bride insisted on white was the rule of the day. Finally, found that dress in a shop in Lucky Plaza that sells cheap fashion. I'm extremely happy coz I dun see a point to blow my budget on a dress that I will be wearing occasionally.
For the shoes, I was racking my brains and found this pair in my shoe cabinet. Obviously, it was left in a corner and forgotten about it. It's simple to match and I re-soled it for a longer usage.
My theme was retro and the red brooch was a double happiness. It's perfect for the cheongsam. Simply love my cheongsam as it has a modern twist to it. Of course, I bought a couple of bodysuits so that this could hold up my body. It would help me to look slimmer.
Honestly, it was a honor and yet tiring to be a bridesmaid as there are so many details to look into so that the bride wouldnt be too stressed. Was on my toes most of the day and completely drained at the end of the day.
Overall, I'm satisfied with my choice of clothings and will leave you guys to decide.
PS : The champagne sash was the bond among all the bridesmaid and everybody tied a knot except me coz I would look pregnant if I followed them. The white flower cosage was bought from Daiso. Of course, I placed the sash sideways and slanted so that I could look slimmer.
