found my sash!

d other day i posted about belt/sash for my pengapit's dress kan.. i mentioned jumpa a belt from kedai baju pengantin kan (boutique pengantin la kan hihi.. time type blog hari tu terblur jap :P).. sadly, tat boutique said tak sewakan d belt.. kalau nk kena sewa d whole baju. apa barang nk sewa d whole baju kalau kita nk belt dia ajer??? sabar je la.. so there i was stuck at square 1 again.

so last sunday i went to alam sentral sbb kat situ byk boutique2 pengantin.. i went from one boutique to another semuanyer either dont have any sash/belt or tak sewakan gak.. tak phm la.. nape ek? buat duit gak tu.. apa la, tolak rezeki.. so ntah brp boutique masuk pun da tak tau da.. until i went to the last one.. coz kat patung2 dia mmg ada sashes.. exactly wat i wanted. then bila i masuk d girls yg jaga kedai tu kata tak pernah diaorg dgr org nk sewa sash ajer.. hehehehe.. tergelak2 diaorg.. so when i explained i already hv a dress and it's for my pengapit, i only want the sash to complete the look.. of course they dont rent out the sash as well.. so i started asking where to find such ribbons or sashes..

agaknya kakak tu kesian tgk muka i kut.. coz i told her da byk tempat da cari tapi tak jumpa.. so she offered to help me sew the sash.. tolong dgn duit ler.. tp i ttp happy coz ada jugak org nk tolong jahit!!! hihihihi.. pastu terus turun g nagoya n buy the satin material and hantar kat akak tu.. i think less than 45mins later terus siap k.. cepat giler.. now tgh fikir nk ikat caner jer.. ikat bow blkg ke.. ikat depan ke.. ikat ala2 obi belt ke.. 

*relieved sigh* at least one thing down, a few more to go.. hehe..

in d midst of preparing my wedding, which is only like days away.. i am also looking for something for my brides maid's dress.. as i've mentioned before, my theme will be white & purple where i'll be in white and my family members will be in purple.. i forgot to mention tat my brides maid will also be in purple. i bought a long sleeve full length dress in purple for her. and to incorporate the white & purple theme, i've been searching for the right belt or sash to be worn on her dress.. 

i've searched for satin ribbons at ribbons shop in shah alam, tp they only hv a 1-inch ribbon in white. it's actually more to off-white.. takpe la tu kan.. m not tat particular.. but when i tried it on my black dress whc is d exact same design as the purple dress, tak cantik sungguh d white ribbon sbb kecik sgt.. i wanted a ribbon yg lebar dia about 2 1/2 inch to 3 inches.. but so far, of all the kedai ribbon/brg kawin i've been to, kalau ada pun 2 inches, and its not even white.. nk cari satin n hntr jahit mmg malas yg amat.. hehehe.. but i did found a solution in case i couldnt find wat i want using d 1-inch ribbon.. tp tu kira last resort la kan.. 

so today i went to kedai baju pengantin.. and then i saw the sash/belts tat pengantin selalu pki tu.. i went in, and asked if i can rent it.. d girl said dia kena tny owner dulu coz tak pernah org sewa belt tu jer.. hahahahhahahah... than i tried putting it on.. perfect!! gotta have tat one! tp kalau mahal sgt tak bole ler.. :P

i also took the time to browse wedding sashes and how to tie the sashes.. best sgt.. cantik2 semua.. plus, since we're talking bout brides maid's dresses here.. here are some of the brides maid's dresses & sashes i found that i like.. :) for now, i m still not sure nk buat cam no.1 or no.2..

cantik2 kan? there's a lottttt more.. tp tak larat nk upload semua.. yg bestnya site ni is u can choose the colour u want on a dress, ada yg u can change d colour of the sash.. best sgt.. click here if u wanna browse thru d dresses.. d downside is, d dresses semua sexy2 la kan.. but we can always find ways to wear it tul tak? ;)

~ baju pengapit ~

i've been a bridesmaid 3 times in my lifetime..

up til now la.. i never thought picking an

attire to be a bridesmaid is hard..

to me, all we need to know the theme colour

and wat colour the bride wants us to wear n

pick the right baju for it la kan..

but d question here is, wat is the right baju??

to me, it is a simple answer. a simple baju.

nice but simple. we can wear a baju with good

and expensive material, but wear it simple.

for example, not too much beading or sequins..

not too glittery so as to tenggelamkan our friend..

and the colour should be one tone lighter than

our friend's..

it has never really been an issue to me before

maybe because i know where my place is. i

know my friend wants me to still look nice but

not overshadow her. and not to ever2 look

frumpy n ugly as tat will affect her as well..

sadly, some ppl just doesnt have a clue to tis..

well, here's something i picked up when reading

about baju pengapit:

"Bagaimanapun, saya ingin mengingatkan supaya saudari

berpakaian sederhana dan tidak terlalu menonjol berbanding

pengantin dikhuatiri ia akan mengecilkan hati pengantin jika

pengapit yang lebih menjadi perhatian." Berita Harian
