Outfit selection

We went for outfit selection on 6th April. As I said in the other post, I wasn’t really excited about it due to a number of reasons. We went with one of my bridesmaid, Y, who brought along her fiancè. She also took the same bridal as me and it’s like killing 2 birds with one stone coz she can observe how the outfit selection process goes plus help me pick the right outfits for our day.

When we entered the office, we saw a rack of clothes near the door with a lot of clothes. Kak N.ora told us that they were having lunch and didn’t have time to clear up the previous appointment’s mess. So she told us to relax first while they finish makan. Y and I took the opportunity to check out the clothes. We kept saying how lawah the clothes are. 😍

Then A, Y and I sat down to discuss about the outfits that we wanna pick while Y’s fiancè chill at the sofa. Kak N did the process methodically starting from the first outfit. She asked what kind of look we going for or the color we want and measured my body. So we told her that we want to wear a white ensemble with some detail. The first dress she took out was a long mermaid-ish dress with heavy cream lace detail. There was also a white tulle train at the back. I took the dress and step onto the platform and took a look in the mirror. Excited sey pasal slalu tengok other brides doing that so now my turn mahh! Hahah Kak N also took out another dress but my eyes was set on this. Y kept exclaiming how gorgeous it looked! And A also approved. So yes, my nikah outfit settled!

Next, the first sanding outfit. We told her we want to wear songket. Preferred color: jewel tones. Then she pointed out this jewel toned peplum songket that was hanging at the rack. She said that it is new and fits the bill. It has a gold detailing at the neckline but the rest is in this gorgeous shade of plum tones. The songket is heavily embroidered and it has a pop of fuchsia peeking underneath the peplum and the kain bottom. DEFINITELY MY FAV! And of course well received by A and Y. NEXT!

For the last outfit, I told her I want something pastel and a flowy silhouette. She took out a couple of outfits but there was this mint outfit that screamed my name! SO PRETTY!! It also came with a flowy chiffon cape at the back and I just loved it! Kak N brought me to the tailor at the back and checked with the tailor if I can fit into the dress. They measured and at the end of that nerve-wrecking moment told me that in order to fit into the dress, I have to lose 3 inches at my hips. Gulps! Macam mana nak lose weight part ni ehhh? Kak N shared with me a tip from another bride who lost 3kg (I think) just by doing this routine – drink at least 4litres of water everyday and no eating after 8pm. I was like 4litres??? Usually I drink about 2 litres or less so how am I gonna chugged double of that??? But I was pretty determined so I told her yes I will do it. She told me that there will be no back up dress and she will just assumed that I will fit into the dress.

After I’m done, A was asked to try on a pair of suit. A stated that he preferred grey or navy suit. But unfortunately, they do not have a grey suit. I’m not sure if they don’t have it in his size or not at all. When A put the blazer on, he looked so good! So smart mamat! I have a weakness for guys who dressed smartly, tak kesah lar handsome ke tak. Kalau da pakai smart, confirmed handsome in my eyes! 😍 He tried on a few blazers but we agreed that the longer length looked better for him.

And with that, we conclude the outfit selection! All in all we took about an hour which was not that bad coz I didn’t spend too much time being indecisive.

So from then till now, u girls curious tak if I heed the water diet? Hahahaha..

I DID! I drank 4litres on most days and sometimes missed by abit aje. And so far I lost about 1.5kg! Alhamdulillah. The makan bit is abit hard coz I ALWAYS eat at night.  Buuuut! I persevered to kurangkan my food intake esp at night. I also worked out on alternate days except that I have missed out a few days’ worth of work out. Meh. I am doing Blogilates PIIT workout. Damn that thing is hard! After 4 sessions per vid, I am sweating so hard! P.S. That jumping lunges is a killer!

Anyways, I compared body measurements after 10days. I lost about 1 inch from everywhere else but my hips! Infuriating eh? Maybe my hips/ butt cuma muscles aje so susah nak lose. Sigh..  I just hope I will lose it before the fitting which is in a week’s time.
