Weddings - Need suggestions
-
Though....the whole even white color clothing. Very dull leh.
at least a gown, a cheongsum, a sexy night gown provides more variety.
Don has the volumptious figure to carry off a nicely cut cheongsum. her figure is the embodiment of Prosperity & Fullness. -
Since our wedding ceremony was in the afternoon (4.30pm) and reception at 6pm, I just used one gown for the entire wedding. Couldn't be bothered to have different gowns.... cheaper too.

the_don's schedule might mean changing out, changing into the gowns again for the various segment, especially the tea ceremony back at her maternal home and then the solomisation. -
Especially I have already spent so much on the wedding gown and it's nice gown too so it would be such a shame to just wear it for an hour or so. I am a cheapskate I know.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Oh yar hor....

white events? red events? humm the clothes color??Originally posted by choco B:FYI, since you are observing some traditional customs
Usually white events are in the afternoon, while red events in the morning. This helps prevent any clashing on the road. Something to consider if you're planning a late start (Btw I think you mean AM ) -
heehee is she so famous?
she bought her outfit from the wedding present. it was mtm for her.
hers was V neck lace top over a white tube. i agree that full figure gals might look even fatter with 2 layers of clothes... hummm still thinking of ideasOriginally posted by choco B:I think I've read about the girl you're referring to
If she has many events to go to, is a good way to cut down on cost while keeping her looks fresh. Did she buy or rent the outfit ?
IMO the skirt and sash is not a problem, it's the neckline that will be tricky for full-figured girls. -
No hon

Originally posted by hisoka:why not just one piece all the way?
or 2piece show more skin? + easier to wear? -
oo cheong sam. i scared my tummy all show
been trying to lose weight but stupid tummy refuse to go down
Originally posted by viciouskitty74:2 piece can work for a full bodied gal.
A tube top kinda look.
2 different style skirts. One full with train and one long pencil with slits at the side?
Then you can do a chinese cheong sum collar translucent mesh jacket & a nonya inspired embroided mesh cardigan.
that tube top shall then last you throughout the day & night. -
Not really, if it's a thin lining and a lace top, it won't bulk up too much. Depends on which lace - french lace is thin and pretty, corded lace will add some bulk and dimension.
The tube may not be flattering for ample girls because of the amount of meat exposed on top.
The V neck.... well once again depends on cutting, the width of the shoulder part of the garment(i.e. the part of the garment that covers the shoulders) , the neckline, etc.
Hers top IIRC is wide across the shoulders - you could do a thin one with a wider neckline.Originally posted by the_don:heehee is she so famous?

wow u got good memory.... u r correct, hers is across the shoulders.
thin one with wider neck line? humm like a bigger V ? ya i think french lace would be better cos it is thinner... btw i suck in a tube. all the extra flesh spilling out is awefulOriginally posted by choco B:Not really, if it's a thin lining and a lace top, it won't bulk up too much.

wear multiple layers and take off one after the other?Originally posted by the_don:i'm also cheapskate.... i wan to 1 gown then transform into 3!

Yar a wider V, something like that
That girl could do a thicker shoulder with narrower neckline because she's thin. If the top's shoulder is too broad, I think it would make your shoulders look chunky.
This neckline could work. Sufficiently covered up with the sexiness of a tube.
A warning though , french lace on skin == itch
So I hope your skin is not super-sensitive. ...Originally posted by the_don:wow u got good memory.... u r correct, hers is across the shoulders.

very hard to lose tummy deOriginally posted by the_don:oo cheong sam. i scared my tummy all show
been trying to lose weight but stupid tummy refuse to go down
Last time I also lost a few kgs before I came back, but the tummy is still there (esp the lower tummy)
Now putting on weight again le...desperately need to go to gym -
Took this off the USA Women's World Magazine on the Abs Diet.
They suggest taking more calcium as it helps females shes up to 81% more belly fat.
Researches thik calclim increases the breadown of body fat.
But the best results come from females taking low fat milk, cheese and yogurt then those taking calcium supplements.
I wont copy it wholesale, but here's some important points.
Eat 6 times a day.
Make fat belly foods your staples. Those are nuts, olive oil & fish. Women who eat mostly fiber rich carbs have best waist to hip rations and plenty of lean protein has been found to double belly fat loss.
Skip belly fattening foods like red meat, alcohol and processed foods which cause hormonal changes linked to excess belly fat.
And opt for quickie workouts like 30 minutes brisk walking twice a week. Increased metabolism works better for overall slimming. Opt also for crunches, push ups and lunges 3 times a week. -

The first V neck is a classic.
There are options. You can get the seamstress to sew lace applique on plain organza . Or use embroidered organza, which can be a little predictable because of the repeated patterns, but it really depends on each individual piece. Or a cheat - a thin underlay of say nude colored chiffon under lace - would be virtually invisible but loads more comfortable.Originally posted by the_don: the gowns r v pretty u should be a bridal gown consultant choco
