Wanted: Custom made cheongsam

Wow~ The past weekend has gone really crazy. Last week, he promised to sponsor me a custom made cheongsam for our wedding. I am so happy and have been very excited about this.

I have been working very hard to lose weight for my wedding (in order to look FABULOUS in my wedding gown). Still working hard now. Since June, I have lost almost 7 kg. Now at the weight of 57.8 kg. I am very proud of myself. Still another 3 more kg to reach my initial target.

On Saturday, we went to Armadale, met up with Cheryl. Purpose of this meeting is to get the quotation and find out whether I look good in cheongsam ^_^ . I told her I wanted a full laced cheongsam. She let me try on a custom made gown of another bride. It is red silk covered by black net on upper top and flowing with chiffon at the bottom. A very lovely dress.
I have also tried on a mermaid cut cheongsam. To my own surprise, I was able to pull it off quite well this time.

When I first went to Armadale in June, I tried on quite a number of gown which include mermaid cut as well. But I didn't look good at all. My friend who went with me commented that my body shape is not suitable for mermaid cut. Actually, I did agree with her. Especially on my fat tummy, I looked 'uninteresting' and 'unbearable'.

Thanks to the few kgs that I lost and the bedtime exercise to flatten my tummy, I think I am more look more confident now. Even he said it looks nice on me. Please don't think that I am now having 36-24-36 body. In fact, mine is 35-29-37. I know, looking at the number, I am large. But look quite balance on the mermaid cut cheongsam. I am working extra hard now to lose 1-2 inches more for my waist. I am determine to look fabulous on my cheongsam.

Anyhow, enough talking about my large body. Let's get back to the cheongsam.

Cheryl suggested to have something similar to the first dress I tried on. Red silk and fully covered with black net. Then sew on the lace pattern onto certain part of the net. This will not make the cheongsam look too over crowded by the pattern.

The silk will be tube top and the net will be halter neck over the silk. I will have a slit at the side of the front and cover by the net. The back will be deep v-bare back. I have an idea of hanging some deco from the collar. It will add some sense of modern. But haven't decide whether it will be silver deco or red deco (like those chinese new year deco).

Well, Cheryl gave a very good idea. But let's hope that all these can fit within his budget of 2k.
