my first fitting

i learned about cecilio abad through w@w. his mutliply site showcases his bridal gowns. from his website, i recognized two brides who were previously his customers, one is a lawyer and another one is a schoolmate back in highschool. and when he posted in his website na he's giving away a w@w promo of P10,000-discount to w@w members, i said to myself, THIS IS THE SIGN, so i decided to get him as my designer.

during our first meeting, which happens to be the last day of the promo period, he asked me about ideas for my wedding gown. i told him that i really had no idea or any inspiration for my gown but i just wanted something that would cover my flaws like - flabby arms and my height! he then asked me to wear a stretchy cloth, possed like a model taking quarter turns and after several minutes of silence, he came up with this:i was speechless not because i dont like it or i love it but because, i really have no idea...he was the only designer i consulted, so i was really clueless about the designs of the others. but i trusted him so much, afterall, he would not be w@w 's 2008 supplier of the year if not for his talent.

come first fitting day schedule, i was kinda nervous. he had my measurements taken since april pa so i think i have gained weight since then considering i have not yet started my own exercise-diet plan. my officemate, ley, accompanied me inside the shop while h2b patiently waited inside the car. when it was my turn, ms. cathy, the assistant, helped me in fitting the lining and the corset. a little push and there you go... whew! it still fits.

when i saw my image sa mirror, i was happy. even though lining pa lang yn nakikita ko, im satisfied with the silhoutte created by his design. ley commented that the silhoutte made me look taller. yipee!!!

after the fitting, i saw some manangs doing their embroidery to an almost finished gown. i was asking her about some details of the work she's doing when CA interrupted me and said that the manangs were deaf-mute. he recruited them from dswd to help our handicapped fellowmen. haaayyyy....ang galing and ang bait nya tlga.

i hope the rest of the fittings will run smoothly, just like this one. at the end of my appointment, i was really happy and very proud to show off my pictures. hehehe. hayaan nyo, minsan lang naman to ;D
