ROM Dress / BTO

I’ve not been updating regularly of late. Hmm.. Well, things have been rather hectic at work and Seng and I have not much time with each other as before. He works shift hours, and sometimes gets called off for work stuff on is off days, so it’s been a little tight timing for us both.

Anyways, enough ranting. It’s my neighbour’s wedding day today. I did not go for the wedding dinner, as my only my parents were invited, but that’s fine. It looked like a hectic day for my neighbours today, and I got a peek into the couple’s new bedroom. It was really well done up. I’m happy for them.

So back to my wedding stuff.

Another item that I’ve been thinking alot about is the ROM dress. And this where it gets exciting because I have a number of ideas of what I want out of that dress. I’m looking at a number of options, but I’mreally really hoping for either a custom made overbust corset, that’s my number one choice, or Cheong Sum.

It’s funny, coz I’ve been emailing my cousin, who is currently studying in the UK recently since speaking to my Aunt. It seems that my cousin has been into corsets for awhile and had recently custom made one in the UK. She is super excited about my wedding, and had suggested to my Aunt that maybe I should get a corset custom made for the wedding. I thought it was a good idea, but I will renting the dress from the Bridal studio. Then it hit me! I don’t exactly have a dess for the ROM, and I’ve been looking around at renting a dress or getting one off the web. Now that my cousin, who so excitedly mentioned to me Aunt that a corset will look great on me as I am pretty well endowed, brought this idea up, I’m actually taking this into consideration.
We’ve been exchanging stuff through emails and I’m beginning to like the idea more and more. Of course, it just so happen that I’m kinda into corsets too, but there aren’t any corset makers in Singapore for me to have one custom made. But it seems like that is going to change. I spoek to my Dad about this and he mentioned something about the SQ girls wearing corsets under their uniform.

My Dad managed to speak to a SQ girl and she mentioned that they do go to a corset maker locally and the corset maker is located somewhere near Lau Pa Sat. Wootz!! The air stewardess will give my Dad the name and address and I’ll pop by to have a look about. However, the corset will not come cheap. My Dad mentioned that it will cost between $700 to $1000. But having one made in the UK, it will likely to cost just as much, and considering the amount of shipping I’d have to pay for the mock-up and materials and stuff. I’ll have to take a look and talk to the corset maker and see what can be worked out. Otherwise, I will consider a custom made Cheong Sum instead.

Well, I do need some options right? =D And if I managed to have the corset made, it’s flying with me, together with my school uniform, for my wedding shoot. I hope to incorporate it into the shoot as well, coz well, it is my ROM dress. Hee!! The ROM dress will be part of the album.
Did I mentioned that we also applied for a BTO in Sengkang? Yes, we did.

Not good. Haha!! There’s only 200 plus units available. Oh well, we will keep trying. We’ve applied for one in Punggol last month, and there’s another Punggol BTO coming up next month. Results for last month’s exercise will out next month. Keeping our fingers crossed. = )

The next item that requires our urgent attention is the wedding venue. Seng has everything under control, I hope. And updates on our visits to the various hotels will be coming up soon. So stay tuned!

Love,
