Bride's Maid Outfit - Hunting

Pertame skali nak mintak maaf sebab t'paksa publish post ni, 1bulan selepas hari kejadian ... Xde la nak budget artist sgt, cume lebih baik mcm ni ... Dr aku pung pang pung pang about bende yg kecik jek, nanti jadik issue lagi di kalangan mereka yg sengaja mencari issue utk diperbesarkan ...

Pada 2 November yg lepas, saye menerima satu lagi tawaran utk jadik bride's maid - kepada my lovely cousin Pn. Diah ... Only for reception, since her sister will take that job during nikah ... But it's on the same day, nikah pagi ... Reception in the afternoon ... So my dear friends, aku akan take another job je lagi for bride's maid ... Sebab xbole jadik pengapit lebih dr 3x, hahah ... Superstitious ...

So, dengan notis sebulan sblm the wedding ... Agak selesa di situ untuk mencari outfit yg sesuai ... Adik Cherry attended her 1st ever interview on 4th November, so kakak Cherry pun mengambil kesempatan itu mengangkut adik Cherry pegi Mesjid India utk servey2/beli trus kalau b'kenan ...

Until, I found out that sangat susah sebenar nyer utk carik a nice baju kurung according to the Bride's order - light purple ... Dah pusing 1 Semua House tu mencarik, tapi yg ade mostly dark purple ... Or else, it's made of lace ... Which aku malas nak beli another lacey dress, sebab nanti susah nak recycle ... Pakai skali jek for the wedding, or for some special events which tak tau ntah biler akan berlaku ...

So I decided to have it tailor made ... Yes, memang tak cukup mase ... Dengan I'm flying to kk on the 6th until 14th November for another cousin's wedding ... Baru rase tak cukup napas nak carik kain & hantar jahit kat Tangkak ...

Kenape nak hantar kat Tangkak jugak ?? Sebab I nak save cost, so the outfit will still fall under the bride's budget ... ++ the wedding is in Kulai, Johor ... So I can pick-up the dress on the way there ... Xpayah nak pegi 2-3 kali, just pegi once to send the materials & measure ... At this moment ?? I'm praying for everything to be easy on me ...

I decided to use chiffon for the baju kurung, so dengan slamber panjat Jakel tanye plain chiffon ... Skali manager yg sasa + hensem & super peramah tu tunjuk border lace kan ... Owh, sangat la jatuh cinta ... Memang la aku tak tido mlm ni ...

Bile kire price for all the material, it's still reasonable ... Ye lah, kalau beli yg baju kurung yg biase2 pun dah almost rm200 kat Mesjid India tu ... Before saye terbeli, t'ingat pulak pasal upah jahit chiffon which normally x2 dr upah for normal (cotton, satin etc) materials ...

Kalau kat Tum's Tailor, Seksyen 9 Bandar Baru Bangi - it's rm180 ... Kalau kat Tangkak, last time I tempah baju kurung modern siap lining - rm100 ... I'm praying hard, that auntie won't ask extra for non-washable chiffon ...

Another concern was the lace patching, last time I asked kat DzulldeClassique (read this post for more details) ... For a simple beading on hujung lengan & leher will cost around rm180 ... For the beading/embroidery only ... & tadi kat one of the textile store depan Sogo tu, the quoted me rmm180 for lace patching on lengan & bawah baju kot ... Own lace ...

Kalau material rm200 (with lining), upah jahit almost rm400 for lace patching ... Baik aku buat kat designer kan, puas hati ... That's why, mcm mane pun ... Kene usaha kan jugak hantar kat my tailor kat Tangkak tu ... Supaye everything fall in the budget ... Or else, tak payah gedik nak chiffon sgt kannn ...

But I'm going to put my best effort, just like what I did for Anis's wedding ... Later I'll update on the final material for the bride's maid outfit ... But I think my decision on the tailor is already fixed ...

Till then, good nite ~
