Bridal Shops: Browsing and Fitting

in order to have a better idea of what to pick when we arrive at the Bridal Shop in Taiwan for our photo shoot, we were out to try out some gowns on Monday.

when we started of with browsing of gowns, mr ma seemed pretty restless and his responses were summed up to "ok" and "not bad".
hmm.. i wonder if it's got anything to do with waking up early in the morning.

in any case, after a long chat with the shop owner, we finally got down to actual fitting.
i got a little frustrated with his nonchalant mumblings, and got him to help take note of the suitable cutting and colors (and prevent me from falling into a dizzy impulsive wedding spree).

i must really give him credit for being very helpful afterwards.

he gave rational feedback such as:
- ivory color doesn't suit me as much as white
because it makes me look yellow. erm..
- basque or corset styled gown enhances my curvatures
because i'm rather petite, and most dresses just make me look like Bananas in Pajamas

below are some of the styles that we have shortlisted (i've re-created them with a online tool), mostly incorporating sweetheart necklines, as suggested by mr ma.




perhaps, also a short dress for some casual pictures during the outdoor shoot?


i noticed that during the fittings, he seemed to have a preference for V-neck sheath/empire dresses (see illustration below) but didn't have a chance to try on any, but i'll definitely give it a try the next time we head to the bridal shops. promise!
