The horror stories from here often involve designers more than anything else. One of my best friends appointed Hatta Dolmat as her dressmaker. He promised to deliver her dress a few days before the dinner reception (which is considered late, apparently). 45 minutes before she had to walk down the aisle, that man was still stitching flowers onto her dress which completely fell apart after the night was over.
I've read an ugly review on Salikin Sidek too - one of the leading names in traditional couture. See the thing with bad reviews are that they automatically overwrite all the good things you've heard about these people. I don't know about the rest of you but once my friends or family has been affected by bad service, I won't even bother acknowledging these vendors' existence. If they only want to cater for high society, it should be stated clearly on their fb page/website etc so as to save the rest of us our time and resources.
Enough of that.
This weekend, my best friend is bringing me to her aunt's boutique in Ampang for me to look at her ready made Songket kebayas. I'm really hoping to be able to just rent my baju instead of paying thousands for a tailored one because well, where else am I going to wear it to? Then, I'm going to meet a ring maker who happens to be a manufacturer for Habib Jewels to get a quote for this beaut:
Berangan tak? Haha. Bloody gorgeous though, right? It doesn't need to be exactly the same because I know this could easily cost tens of thousands. I pun pandai jugak eh diamond diamond ni semua. I haven't showed this to Redza for fear of giving him a heart attack. I forgot where this is from as it has been in my wedding folder for a while now.
Doakan dia fall between the 2-3.5k range please.
