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

Go with #3 but alter it a lil to make it less revealing :)

not liking no.1

no.2 looks nice, but definitely no room for necklace. don't see how you can fit one in nicely.

no. 3 is pretty, but if your dad's not cool with it, then guess will have to pass.

which leaves no. 4, which is also pretty, but waist lace definitely needs to be removed. shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?

Design your own?

There have been several 'versions' of Princess Mary of Denmark's wedding dress that came out into the market after she got hitched. I think because it was a Lutheran church, bared shoulders weren't allowed or something, and I noticed there wasn't much of a cleavage for her. She pushed the limit in terms of shoulder-baring, but it was quite an okay dress.

I've seen women do many, many alterations to the dress design, making the skirt less full, the sleeves off-the-shoulder, etc.

Ah, it is lovely dress isn't it? V tasteful I think. :)

Does it have to be white though, Hani? Or do you plan to play with it, e.g. cream/ champagne/ ivory/ combination, etc?

[hanishoney]

Oh no. In fact, we do NOT want it white. I'm leaning towards silver/grey myself.

1: No, not pretty.

2: Definately don't wear a necklace for it.

3: A bit too daytime wear... but it's the most "young"-ish of the lot tho... alterations should be easy to do to keep yr dad happy.

4: I like it. yes, without the lace bodice.
