Tailor for wedding gowns?

[berryblack]

Looking for a good gown tailor/seamstress...must have experience with wedding gowns...

anybody knows any? wedding in may....HELP!!!!

[atypical]

First Off ..... CONGRATULATIONS!

I don't know any seamstresses per se but how about taking up on one of those wedding packages? This way, everything is taken care off....

My gown was from Tan Yoong. I love it! tan Yoong is a genius with cut & fit. Expensive though. Expect to pay above 3K for the gown alone (non -package)

Second Tan Yoong. Mine's from there too. He is simply fabulous and could transform anybody into a princess for a day! If yours is in May and if u are interested better talk to Tan Yoong now. He prefers at least 6 mths advanced though if u are desperate enough he might take u in.

Any budget? I heard that Ted Collection at Bugis Junction is good too and cheaper than Tan Yoong of course. They do wedding gowns and evening wears. If u like embroideries then go for Ted Wu. Another genius though I dun find his service as personalised as Tan Yoong.

was thinking of tan yoong too but i already have a design in mind so was just looking for a good tailor/seamstress to copy it...

i figured if i didn't need a special designer style then i dun need to approach a designer which tan yoong is rite?

anybody who works near bugis heard about ted collection before?

[meow123]

Two of my colleagues have their gown done at Ted Collection at Bugis and they are quite pleased with the gowns. If u have already got the design in mind, I think it is easier. Heard the workmanship is not bad.

If you happen to have past few issues of Her World brides or Female in 2002...there's one model-bride had her lacy wedding gown done at one of the shop located at Centrepoint i think.

2nd on the Ted Collection...They also make nice cheongsam too!

[meow123]

Centrept has tailor shop ***?? Is it Zen bridal? That one is not too good ***....the workmanship is not as good as Ted's. Yah Ted is very good with cheong sum..

[dolphin]

Are you referring to X-zen?

X-zen is now located at Tan Quee Lan Street. Yup, nothing nice from there.

oh, i meant the model had her wedding gown done by one of the tailors. Can't remember the name of the shop off hand.

did i hear Cheong Sam?? i've been wanting to tailor make one for myself...dunno for what but i just think it's very nice how much do they charge??

[meow123]

Pauline, u will look great in Cheong Sam..u have a great body for it. I asked previously and it ranges from $600 plus at least to more than $1k depending on the embroideries and design.....pretty ex huh? But I heard they are really good. The prices may have changed though... ...Shanghai Tang is great too but that one is a lot more ex...the cheapest place to do Cheong Sam is in China!!

What about Doreen Chee from La Galleria :D She is very good with Cheongsums and wedding gowns.She has a shop along Tanjong Pagar but her prices are not cheap.

[meow123]

Oh yes have heard of Doreen Chee but I hv not tried before. None of my friends use her though I had heard raves abt her from some articles. How much does she charge??

Hi meow

A simple dress would cost about $400 and above.

[meow123]

Depending on how simple the dress is, $400 is not bad exorbitant as I thought (am comparing with Frederick, Tan Yoong etc)..So have u decided on the tailor?

$400 is for a simple rom dress.Wedding gowns shld be a few thousands.
