Confessions of Lady D. Sign : Dear Brides, here’s a sneak peek of what we have been up to. Drapes & Pleats, and please ladies, we are not talking about making curtains here.

Every single drape & pleat is created, meticulously adjusted & neatly stitched by hand, lovingly I must add. The result – a stunning effect on our gowns. Instead of having a plain, boring neckline, the draping and pleating certainly make the gowns look classy and exquisite!

As always, our gowns are handcrafted by our talented team whose quality craftsmanship is adored by our clients. And that is how a PrettyInWhite gown is created.

To view and try these gorgeous gowns for yourselves, just make an appointment with us today!

Confessions of Lady D. Sign: Over the months, I have been receiving numerous requests from clients, partners & friends to post the video of the famous strip-tease act during our M!fa Show last November. So after searching through my personal video library, I have managed to locate the clip, and here it is – posted up for your viewing pleasure.

I have written in detail on how versatile this particular Celestial Wedding gown can be in my earlier post: http://www.prettyinwhite.com.my/striptease-m-ifw-2009/. But as the saying goes, a moving picture is definitely worth a million words!

Dear brides, you can wear it long for your formal & grand entrance, and later on, just remove the bottom skirt to reveal a mini-gown for your after dinner party. This fabulous gown is simply suitable for your garden or beach weddings. Isn’t it amazing to have a 2-in-1 wedding gown? Now that’s really getting your money’s worth!

So ladies and the odd gentlemen, do enjoy the video clip as I shall be posting some more interesting video clips of our creative wedding & evening gown designs very soon. Ta, ta!

Lady D. Sign with more confessions on the way!

The fascinator has definitely made a comeback – in style! It’s originally referred to as a fine, lacy head covering, traditionally made from wool or lace. However, the present day’s definition of the fascinator describes it as a delicate, slightly-to-very frivolous head decoration worn by women.

Over in PrettyInWhite, many of our brides opt to wear a fascinator instead of the conventional bridal veil especially for their prewedding photoshoot sessions.

We have a wide range of fascinators that are handmade using fabric flowers, feathers, netting and finished with crystals, beads or sequins. Our designers are able to custom create fascinators of almost any design, color or size which is attached to the hair by either a headband, hat-base, comb or even a hair clip. Simply put it, we create fascinators that suit your personal look and style!

Synonymous with any PrettyInWhite product, you can be assured that our fascinators are crafted using quality materials and expert workmanship. Starting from RM150, we can custom create your personal fascinator to complete your perfect look with your bridal attire.

You can view our current collection of fascinators in our online gallery or contact us for an appointment to obtain your very own custom-made PrettyInWhite fascinator.

Over the years, we have been serving brides who come in all shapes and sizes; not forgetting their varying personalities; expectations and budget. And it’s our aim over at PrettyInWhite to ensure that we meet our clients’ expectation in getting her perfect wedding gown.

A frequently asked question that many of our clients has is simply “What is the most suitable gown design for my body shape?” Followed by the almost standard statement of “I want something plain and simple, preferably in A-line”.

Nothing wrong with that, but there’s a wider choice of designs to suit all types of body shape and an even larger variety of gown styles to suit all types of personality. And it’s our professional duty in helping our clients do just that.

To help the brides-to-be, our designers have written a short and interesting article that guides you in determining the perfect gown design that suits your particular body shape.

So, whether you are pear shape; bony; petite; lanky; busty; broad shoulder or hour-glass shape, this article will simply tell you your perfect gown design. To download this useful article, just click here.

Once you have determined the correct gown design, you just have to try out the gowns for yourself. This you can easily do by paying us a visit. Our designers will be more than happy to help you find your perfect wedding gown. At PrettyInWhite, we literally make gowns for Every Body.

P.S. Interestingly more than 90% of our brides who initially wanted something “plain & simple” ended up with the most richly-detailed gorgeous looking gowns. Of the perfect design to their body shape, naturally. To view the pictures of our delighted clients, just click here.

Talk about making heads turn. Yes, we had a short strip tease act during our recent MIFA show & this is No Wardrobe Malfunction. Inspired by form & functionality, our latest designs, The Celestial Collection, are beautiful creations of gowns that can be worn in different forms.

The long and short of it (pun intended!) is that our wedding gowns can be worn with the full bodied skirt for your formal wedding ceremony & dinner functions, and without the skirt as a short, sexy dress for your ROM, photo shoot session or tea ceremony. Talk about versatility!

Many of our brides love this versatile design as the gown looks great in both forms. We have created similar designs for our evening gowns & cheongsams which are getting great demand from our clientele. Not surprising as our clients know they are getting a great deal – literally two gowns for the price of one! And that’s really savvy shoppers, in our opinion.

Confessions of Lady D. Sign : There are many types of Gowns in the market today, but not every style will suit you. It is also good to know your terminology when shopping for your wedding dress. As such, I will be starting a series of articles on Wedding Gowns in the hopes that you will be able to differentiate the different styles when shopping for your Wedding or Bridal Dress!

THE BALLGOWN : An everlasting image of romance, encapsulating the ultimate fairy tale of gowns. Think Cinderella, Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Diana and Grace Kelly. Ballgowns contain everything, from fitted bodice, voluminous skirts, petticoats, train and wedding veils in numerous layers after layers. They normally are found in one piece, but may come as a top and skirt. In line with the romanticized style, Ballgown skirts are large and flowing, normally sweeping the floor, with the high possibility of hoops or petticoats in accordance to the original Victorian style, which it is modeled after. Extremely Feminine and Elegant, Ballgowns may not be easy to carry, let alone comfy, with all that additional trimmings!

WILL IT SUIT ME? : Normally meant for tall, slim build ladies who tend to be broad shouldered. However, certain modifications can be made to accommodate ladies who are lacking of a broad shoulder and/or of medium height or with a pear shaped figure. Highly recommended for ladies who would love a long train for their wedding gowns.

Recently, the Pretty In White team together with talented fashion photographer Michele Yong, make-up artist; XpressionMaster & hairstylist; Salon Esprit completed a Fast & Furious photo shoot session at The Carat Club, Bangsar. We thought that this would be an extremely fitting venue in defining our brand new runway collection ‘CELESTIAL’. In actual fact, we have leaked some of our designs on our website already, at Our Designs page. Bet you never realized that.

If you would like to scrutinize the results of our photoshoot, get your invites to the upcoming MIF-W ’09 Fashion Week in which PrettyInWhite will be unveiling The Celestial Collection this Nov 7th at 5:30pm! Needless to say, we feel that the end result is worth the effort, so come on down to The Pavillion, Bukit Bintang and judge for yourself!

” A dress should never overpower the wearer. It should merely be an appropriate frame for a charming picture, bringing out the beauties of the picture, but never distracting attention from it. So few women understand this.”

~ Charles Worth, HARPER’S BAZAAR Personal Column, December 15, 1877.
