Photoshoot for Our Gowns

Joanna- Apologies for not updating the blog for some time. I have been really busy, especially with some new gowns arrivals, I had to arrange with the models and photographer for photoshoot. Afterall, only with a proper photoshoot can do justice to the very beautiful and elegant gowns!

I must say that it was really fun doing the photoshoot. Though it was really tiring. Well, I wasn't the model of course, and thus, had to be the assistant to the photographer and my lovely models. So I had to carry the gowns, carry their barangs barangs like water, makeup pouches and mark my words, it's super tiring!!! By the end of the day, my muscles were tearing apart. But it was still really fun! Can't wait for the photos to arrive. And I know you guys are as excited as me!

Special thanks to my very lovely models

Alina Ngern and
Silver Ang http://thatsilvergirl.blogspot.com/

New Arrivals Photos!

Be stunned! Be astonished!! Cos we are too!! Below pictures show photos of our client's gowns. She ordered 1 wedding gown and 1 evening gown from us. We absolutely love the exquisite details on the gown. Lacings just as how our client wanted it, little 'flower-like' design made of pieces of organza embedded onto the gown and the translucent back to make the gown look a tad more sexy and elegant.


And our client left with a smile and insisted on taking a picture with Joanna for memories! :)






Cheers all!

Therefore, kindly ignore all previous postings prior to this. (No more sprees for sure) Look forward to future more exciting posts that's definitely going to intrigue your interest!

Note from Joanna: "It is really not easy trying to set up your own bridal gowns store and I always keep in mind that I have to provide the best service, best quality gowns but yet keep the prices to a minimal. I used these few months and did alot of research, from sourcing for new gowns manufacturers, to meeting up with models and photographers and so on, as well as building up our very own website. I didn't know I could do it too! But with determination, I believe nothing is impossible. Looking at all the past testimonials my past clients left me, it gave me motivation to carry on. I will continue to provide my very best. And that said, when you receive your dream gowns, just remember to leave me a testimonial!"

How to choose a wedding gown that fits you?

Wedding Gowns & Body Shapes

There are many type of body shapes. Some are bleesed with great bodies to pull off any look with no problem but most of us are not as lucky. You definitely want to look good on your wedding day, you don’t want to be like a walking cupcake or bucket or even a stick when you are in your wedding gown. Therefore it’s important to know what kind of gown cuttings and design suit you best. You have to try on as many as possible and also do as much reasearch as possible before you decide on your gown. Keep your options open.


Pear Shape or Triangle
A woman with a pear shape figure has smaller shoulders and upper body than lower body.
RECOMMENDED: A plain A-line gown with elaborate bodices or laces and beadings on the upper body will create provide the attention to your upper body instead of lower part of the body.
AVOID: Any type of body hugging gown, full skirts, or cuts that will make the upper body appear even smaller or the lower body larger.

Inverted Triangle
A woman with an inverted triangle figure has wide shoulders and heavy top with a small hip or lower body.
RECOMMENDED: Sleeveless with minimum and simple open necklines. Full skirts with bow at the back or mermaid designs will add a more curves on the lower body.
AVOID: Low necklines, heavy beading, oversize sleeves with elaborate bodices on the upper body. No to straight skirts.

Rectangle
A woman with an rectangle figure has a long and narrow body without much difference in measurements between the bust, waist and hips.
RECOMMENDED: Go for an oversized shoulders and sleeves with elaborate design. High waistline skirts with some beadings will camouflage the thick waist. Full skirts with horizontal styling or can-can lining/petticoat will bring out an even body shape.
AVOID: Slim silhouettes with vertical styling such as straight gowns should not be considered.

Hourglass
A woman with hourglass figure has both her bust and hip about the same measurement with an obvious waist line which is usually very much smaller.
RECOMMENDED: A strapless or off-the-shoulder gown. When shopping for a strapless gown, go for the one-piece gowns instead of two-piece gowns.
AVOID: A two-piece gown can result in a “choppy” look, splitting you into to figures, avoid heavily beaded dresses that tend to make the bride appear heavier and no high neckline gowns.

Short and Petite
As it says, short and petite.
RECOMMENDED: Princess/A-line with shoestring straps and off-the-shoulder gowns. Right shoe height must be considered also when you select your gown as you will need the shoes to add to your height, if the height isn’t right, it wolud ruin the gown.
AVOID: Straight/Sheath(unless you are well-proportioned) and ball gowns.
Have fun hunting for your perfect gowns! Remember that you shouldn’t be pressured to choose a gown that you don’t like. You also should not be pressured to loss weight or gain weight if you don’t want to. However, if you are thinking of losing weight or gain weight, you have to consider whether the gown you are going to choose will be suitable for your body shape when you successfully loss or gain the weight with your choice of diet solution program.

Have fun looking for your dream gown!
