A custom gown gives freedom.
A ready-made gown gives speed.

Some brides look amazing in ready-made gowns.
Some need custom tailoring to truly shine.

But the real question is:
Which one suits your body, timeline, and expectations better?

Not every bride needs custom.

Not every ready-made dress will fit effortlessly.

Some brides assume custom is always better.
Until they discover a ready-made gown that fits beautifully with minor alterations.

Others realize custom is worth it because standard cuts never flatter their body properly.

Bride Jorene’s gown was crafted for more than beauty.
Careful alterations during custom-making process
shaped every curve and movement,
creating a fit that feels as good as it looks. ✨

Custom isn’t automatically luxury.
Ready-made isn’t automatically compromise.
The right choice is the one that makes you feel confident the moment you wear it.

The “BEST” gown isn’t about price or trend.

It’s about what works for you — your comfort, confidence, timeline, and vision 🤍

DM “COMPARE” — I’ll help you choose honestly.

5 Reasons to consider a mermaid dress! #thingsweknowbest #iamabridewedding

We love this style! Checking through most of yours (and ours) ‘saved-pins’ or ‘Instagram-saved’ post or pictures, you'll realize most of the gowns or dresses are mostly in mermaid style. Now, people always say “Liking something on a model or on a hanger maybe a lot different than liking it once it’s on you!”

So, for this reason being, trying on at least one of every silhouette can be helpful, including mermaid style! I know... Some experts or shop assistant might turn-down or ‘wipe away’ your ‘mermaid-dream’ with many reasons. But as for me… if mermaid dress is just what you want? Have courage! Does not matter what shapes or sizes you are in, there WILL BE a perfect mermaid dress for you! (At least, I have the confident to turn your ‘mermaid-dream-come-true’ :) Who knows you might be surprised what ends up stealing your heart!

Here are our 5 reasons for you to consider a mermaid dress #thingsweknowbest

#1. Contour Curves: Mermaid dress hugs your bodice from chest down, waist, up to your knee, or slightly below the knee, then the skirt begins to (dramatically) flare out down to the hem. Choosing this style means that you’ll have the opportunity to show off those fantastic curves! With the right cutting, mermaid dress helps create a great body fitted figure (beautiful ‘S’ or hourglass shape).

#2. Great for Petite Brides: The full skirts or ball gown can be very dreamy, but for most of us (Asian ladies *ahem), these rather big silhouette can be overwhelming, especially on more petite size. Mermaids are great for smaller brides because the longer bodice adds length and accentuate body figure better. Visually gives your body silhouette fullness.

#3. Add Allure: Sparkles, blinks, bedazzle may caught your attention, but mermaids sometimes need less because the dramatic and fitted silhouette already is the interesting highlight by itself. It is a dramatic and stunning look that can be pair with many style of neckline, be it the modest sheer netting chest line or a sexy deep V. Or even look gorgeous with a statement back! 

#4. Modern Me: Looking back through the old days (like from the history), lady's attire or the traditional wear are never 'sexy' - none are showing off too much curves, skin or body shape. So as fashion revolves, we can now accept more 'perfect fit' kind of styles like mermaid style. This is modern fashion, but can also be played down for a more classic look with laces or sleeves.

#5. Create Memories: Whenever we need to dress-up (as a bride or as a guest to an event or function), we want to feel confident! Like we actually made an impact in front of our guests or friends. So, selecting a stunning gown/dress is very important. Mermaid dresses are always a fashion statement. (Try flashback all the iconic celebrity's 'Red Carpet' moments... Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie etc just to name a few :)

I hope these 5 good reasons (out of many others) give a boost-up for you in searching for your perfect mermaid dress.

BUT... if you...

As continue from my previous post on Stephanie's custom make wedding gown, yes, she also custom make her wedding cheongsam with me :) *I'm so honored!

She had her wedding dinner reception back here in KL. She wanted something that is very evening-ish and 'a bit' of color - at first. Instead a bright red, I proposed her with this very pretty sweet rose red pink (almost fuschia pink) material for her cheongsam. She like it! As this shade of rose red pink REALLY compliments her fair skin tone :) After her 1st fitting on the cheongsam, she ask for 'more' colors now :D I initially proposed her some very 'safe' patch laces in ivory white, silverish, maroon....etc. 'Maybe something more contrasting?" she suggested. Black and rose red pink is always VERY contrasting. After checking some 'approval' from her family and her in-law family side (on the 'pantang' thingy) She was so happy (and I'm so happy for her too!) for that there's no problem for her cheongsam to have a sense of classy black laces embellishments!

So here's Stephanie's custom make cheongsam for her wedding dinner reception.

❤ A full netting bare-back button up with a minimal touch of black laces embellishments
on her shoulder and waist ❤
