Wedding Record: Baju Gaun

[hanishoney]

Yes, because the male wants to wear a suit for his reception, I must now hunt for a mat salleh gaun to wear to match his suit.

What do I know of Western wedding gowns? I never expected to have to wear one! Bah.

Furthermore, here's the problem: My old man. He don't like me baring my cleavage, or my back, or my shoulders, or my arms for that matter

First pic: recyclable if you're willing to do major alterations later.

Second pic: you need a fine necklace or an overly large one, though either way it clutters up the neck area anyway.

Third: NICE. But yeah.

Fourth: The template most commonly copied in the modern Malay dresses if you notice, so in a sense it'll be the most familiar to everyone, and can pass off as a hybrid design than a purely Western one... hmm.

Okay, second picture out. Just read:
"Also known as the T-shirt neckline, due to it's similarity to an actual T-shirt, the jewel neckline is round and sits at the base of the throat.
Good for: Small-chested woman (it will make you look bustier)
Bad for: Large-chested women (it will make you look bustier too)"
From: The Knot

Will post more piccies some other time.

I really like the fourth one and the waist-lace is easy to get rid of.

1) I've never seen you in an Empress cut and I can't tell if it'll make you look fat or preggers. O_o;

But wahey, Princess Serenity's dress is cut that way so I'm still all for it.

2) Go study Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. That's how you wear the jewellery. But if it's not for busty women...

3) LOVE it. Maybe if you did alterations? Like raise the neckline a smidge, no bare shoulders but still the transparency?

4) Heh. Nina has said it.

Perhaps you can do a hybrid of 3 & 4? I like 3 for it the fun sexayyyness. It also looks more comfortable for a garden party :D

Well...

I think ‘Bonapart’ is spelt “Bonaparte”. Since you always chastise me about my spelling and grammar errors, I thought I’d bring it up.

As for the dresses…

1. A bit dull, but yeah, conservative enough for everyone. And you’ll probably never be able to wear it again unless you alter it, as serabut said.
2. It’s nice, and this is probably what your father was thinking about when he said that he doesn’t mind bare arms but at least have some kind of cloth covering your shoulders, but I don’t see how necklaces will go anywhere near that.
3. It’s very pretty. You’d look good in it. I’ll never hear the end of it from the Wan. “Kenapa lah abang kasi dia tak pakai baju? Malu Tok dengan Nya’i!” 1
4. I can smell the Malay from here. Needs more work to not look so stereotypically anak datin.

Fütnotes. 2

1. Mouse over the text and the translation should appear 5.
