BTW, if you must tailor, and you are on a budget. Consider tailoring a really ultra simple gown in a interesting fabric and not a black colour. So the gown can be worn onto other occasions.
I got a replica Vera Wang Denim Gown in dark denim blue, for wearing to dinners, weddings & whatever event. Either throw on a cowboy hat and boots for a theme company event, or a simple pashmina shawl for a Raffles Hotel wedding dinner event.
where did u get yours and how much was it?yeah,i want one that can like wear out next time instead of just once.where's OUB Plaza?
my exams end on 30th nov and prom's only 6 days away from then,so i don't have much time to shop :(
I went to Cityplaza with a magazine cut out of the vera wang gown and found a old couple tailor/seamstress at a obscure basement shop.
They took my measurements and tell me the length of material I have to buy to make a simple gown.
I then went to spotlight to buy the material. Denim material. Bring the material back to them and they worked their magic within a month.
Cost at tailor $200/-
Cost of materials $50/-
They even rework another gown for me to nip in under the breasts and put in the breast paddings under the linings so I dont have to wear bra with the gown. Gave me a push up bra gown effect. The gown was purchased from a shop.
OUB Plaza is at Raffles Place MRT.
Go see and try out ready made gowns first.
And you might not be used to it. But OG carries a selection of ready made gowns.
From Taffeta skirt separates to some really interesting sizes gowns besides their mass made cheongsums.
Check out Arther Yen for designs and you work out your maths how's your budget & what style your really want and what you really need.
Keep in mind, that even with a fantastic gown, you need to do hair, make up, nails, perfume, accessories, bags, shoes, transport to and fro the prom location will make or break your look for the night.
why blow so much money on something you wear probably once?
Oh wait, i might as well try to disprove Einstein's theory of relativity ![]()

Einstein had a relativity theory?i don't recall that.i know he contributed to the bomb-making of Fat Boy or Little Man during world war 2.

Ermmm....you might as well be matching your clutch or your handbag to the heels. Not much worry about the colour of the dress.
Its only a prom, not your wedding.
