TAAAADAAAA, this is Hafizah Yazed..

She has magical hands.

That's her awesome handy work for my E-day.

I think I will not be selfish and put a link to her facebook here.

HAHA, sharing is caring ya know :) :)

But really, she is really good at what she does.

What I wore

Omg this story, I have to tell you.

I bought my dress on instagram, and the girl brings in super gorgeous looking Indian outfits for all occasions. They really are a looker!! You can choose them to be already stitched or semi-stitched.

Oh btw! Waiting time is roughly 2 weeks for a semi-stitched.

Here are a few photos of the outfit that I saw and bought, before I tell you a scary story which includes your worst nightmare when it comes to tailoring.

This was how I received it, neatly packed in a bag.

The beautifuuuullllll outfiiiiiiit *.*

This is the supposed end product after the stitching.

This was my final product.

My family and I have a go-to tailor in Little India for Indian clothes. They are gooooooood!

&So I was supposed to send my outfit there for tailoring, Fai went with me, on a Sunday.. But we were about half an hour too late. Ultimately we only had about two to three weeks before our event, so I was desperate. Just a few shops away we spotted this one tailor on the second floor of the shophouse and went in to try our luck. It seemed that he had a couple of regulars, the aircon was cold like North Pole and the guy attended to us seemed professional. So we did a gamble and went with him.

Fast forward to collection day; It was raining heavily.

I called them up about 15mins before we arrived (yes Fai followed me again), to let them know I'll be coming to pick up my outfit. The guy said okay, he'll find it and it'll be ready in 10 mins. I was excited and couldn't wait. But couldn't wait was just a far away fantasy for me. MY OUTFIT WAS NOT READY AT ALL. AND BY NOT READY, THEY HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED DOING ANYTHING TO IT. I'll gladly explain to you how I know. Firstly, when we walked in, the guy told us that they were ironing and will be ready shortly. So we waited and waited and waited.. Then he went in to "check smth" and came back out saying they are finishing up. Okay so we waited again right? I mean, whats the worse that could happen right? WRONG K JUST WRONG. A guy came out from the room and went down and appeared again with lining. I mean, it could be anyone's material.. But one look from the colour, I just knew that it was for my outfit. I need a whole new paragraph to express my sentiment on that right now.

Even now I feel the rage, but slowly after understanding the whole situation, which the guy still refused to admit or confess that they just started sewing my outfit and rather assure me by saying "they're finishing up, they're ironing, just abit more"........ I just looked at Fai and Fai looked at me that couples intuition eye talking thing, and we told him we will go for dinner and come back. The relief on the guy's face is still implanted in my head till today okay.

So we went for our dinner around the corner, and came back.

All in all, they managed to do my outfit and we paid for it and we left. First and last I tell you, I don't need no heart attacks everytime I send my outfit there okay please god no. Professionalism is really just 0. It could have been a one time off thing that just unfortunately happened to me, but please no more for me thank you.

Okay so like I said, it wasn't easy; planning for my E-day.

There were so many other hiccups or disagreements that happened throughout the planning stages that I can't even rmb or write down. But it happened. Just really I thank God that the day itself went smoother than a baby's buttock.
