my first dress store!


waiting for hkgroom in the middle of tst (granville rd.), i decided that i'm going to be brave and walk into a dress store all by myself! first thought is, wow, everyone is sooooo nice to me. as soon as i sat down, the woman asked me how i found the place as they only just moved from hung hom. i told her they had evening gowns in the shop windows, so i went upstairs to have a look. she went on about how it was 'fate' that brought me up. blahblahblah. as they were still getting sorted, they only had pictures of dresses on their laptops to show me. i don't know if it was a good or bad thing that i wasn't too interested as it was the first shop i'd been in! also, it was very local, with the lady claiming that all their dresses are from taiwan (materials from europe). 15 minutes later, hkgroom calls and we meet.

fast forward after dinner and hkgroom wants to get a haircut. he goes to his regular and i notice that right above his hairdressers is another bridal store! yay! so i went upstairs and had a look. this lady, was very nice and immediately asked if i wanted to look at the dresses, or have a look at the pictures first. i said pictures, so i could sit down and see the whole dress in front of me. i found a gorgeous white strapless lace mermaid dress with a small train (similar to right).

it was made of very light material too! perfect for hk outdoors. i asked the price and she said $3xxx =) yes, $3xxx to buy and she said only a few hundred more for alterations to make it more 'custom'. i'm thinking of getting some sleeves a la jenna bush...
