Congratulations to all Brides-To-Be or Bridesmaids-To-Be, who sing up for IamaBride®'s Special Promotion: Custom Make ROM/Bridesmaid Short Dress for only RM330!

Yes, this promo ended 14 Feb '11. It was such a great deal that many customer can't believe its true~! Just check out what our FB fans said:
Well, my ladies, it so so true... !*^.^*! Just ask these brides who are all in the middle of trying and waiting anxiously to see their very personalized custom make ROM short dress for their wedding registration day~!

*******.*******.*******.*******.*******.*******.*******

MeiYoong obviously saw our promo in FB and message me to inquiry for her own ROM short dress. She emailed me a sample picture (from the net), saying that she would like her short dress to look sweet and girl-y =) So after we meet, we had abit of sharing n discussion on what design of the dress, the material, the details.... that suits her more, in order to achieve her look.

So I did a few sketches.... and we finally approved on this!

Love the middle ruched idea, so the waist is more define! The cute 'lil satin ribbon bow on the waist, really bring out her sweet n girl-y style =)

Meiyoong's custom make ROM short dress is in progress now! *^.^*
She just did her first fitting with me today and she was so surprised and full with joy that she can't stop smiling! She told me she can't wait to collect her final complete dress till Saturday.
Calm down, Meiyoong...*hihhih... will need to add on some more nice details on your dress first *^.^*

To MeiYoong: I'm so happy that you are so satisfy with your custom make short dress *^.^* See you Saturday! *Bring your new heels!

*******.*******.*******.*******.*******.*******.*******

Samantha came to me with abit of worry. She was worried about her body size. I confidently gave her the answer: That's is why, we came out with this Custom Make Promotion *^.^*! She said she can't find any pretty ready-made short dress for her wedding registration day. And even she found one, still need to pay an extra to get it alter =( hum....

So I explained to her that custom make, you can choose the design that suits you, like: how you want your chest line to be (heart-shape/tube/off-shoulder...), how you want your sleeves to be (so that it can cover the exposed flesh), how you want your shirt to be (flare/structured/uneven/layered/can-caned....) It's all so flexible *^.^*! Part by part we custom make it.

So after knowing what Samantha's concerns and desire, here's the personal sketch for her:

Love your can-can skirt idea and the frill sleeves *^.^* Liked what we discussed, you can transform this ROM dress to your wedding gown! Hope you'll buy the great idea we proposed.

Yes, talking about the 'transformation' of her short ROM dress into her Wedding Gown! Oh... I think I should reserved this great idea until Samantha really confirm it *^.^* We were both (and of course, Samantha's mom as well) all so excited when my tailor suggested the idea~!!

To Samantha: I'll inform you when your 1st mock of your dress is ready for fitting =) Am excited for you too~!! =)

Diamonte Wedding Gloves *Shine!

2009-11-05T01:08:00.000-08:00

Yes~! New Challenge - Personalized Diamonte Crystal for YeeJing's Black Satin Wedding Gloves!

16 Jul 09, 19:10 > Jing: Hi can i kow wats d price for d long stretchable satin lace wedding gloves?

This is how YeeJing and I started to know each other *^.^*
I can't recall cleary how YeeJing get to know me.... but after a few emails to and fro.... we started to exchange MSN. And through our msn, she did her enquiry for a pair of Long Plain Black Satin Wedding Gloves. Yup, she is very clear on what she wanted the end and we had the deal through MSN! *^.^* So, YeeJing wanted just a Long Plain Black Satin Wedding Gloves... I thought "plain black not so nice lar rite...? Maybe I tell her I add some diamontes crystals...so to glam up the gloves and also will look more personalized if she trust my creativity..."

Yes..I suggested... to combine her name 'Y' & 'J' into a simplified pattern. When YeeJing saw my suggestion, she was so happy and excited! =) She threw an OK! to me and let me personalized her black satin gloves. So now, challenge begins...

First, I started off by sketching her 'Y'ee 'J'ing...
After numorous tries with the swrils and trills...
this is the final artwork *^.^*

Then I carefully layout the artwork
with different sizes of diamontes.
Note! The way to layout the diffrent sizes of diamonte
is very important, coz the size will affect the overall shape
and curves of the pattern. I'd tried so many attemps to get
the correct amount of big or small diamontes to crete the perfect curves!

Yes, finally! The left hand piece of gloves is done!
It took me a few hours to get this part done~
But the result was nice *^.^* (The background photo frame is a combination of all my diamontes artwork that was exhibited at my previous Wedding Exhibition)
Now continue the right hand piece...

I have to cut out a mold of the pattern...
and place it nicely and in the correct direction
(on how the swrills is) So then it won't look weird, off the
alignment and distored in a pair! I'm super particular in details...
so I'll make sure they look good and consistance when
YeeJing wears it *^.^* Almost done... *heartbeating

TADA~!!! YeeJing's Personalized
Long Black Satin Wedding Gloves with Diamonte Crystals

More interesting angles of
YeeJing's Diamontes Wedding Gloves *Blings!
And with the polypacked also!
*Like this is more professional mar~~ *^.^*

Hope you'll like it as much as I do...*^.^*
And remember to take LOTS of photos with you wearing it ok?

Love,
I am a Bride®

Diamonte Wedding Gown *blings

2009-09-22T03:31:00.000-07:00

Yup! This time I'm doin Wedding Gown Diamontes for a bride-to-be, Audrey *^.^*

Here goes....

The gown - before anything is done to it.
It was a plain normal wedding gown with boring repetition lace patterns
and ruched empire waist design... plain boring~

Before and After
I add on more hot fixed diamonte crystals on the ruched empire-waist band.

Overall look of before and after effect *^.^*

The crystals are concertraded from the center
and gradually spread loose to both sides...to give a 'sprakling' effect~!

Diamonte Crystals Wedding Gown and Wedding Veil *^.^*

The final art work~ woohoo
Hope Audrey will love them as much as I do~~

Diamonte Wedding Veil ^.^

2009-09-22T02:42:00.000-07:00

Yes... I did diamonte for Wedding Veil too~ So to match with the Diamonte Wedding Gown *^.^*
More to come...

Before
It was a plain simple veil - boring

In progress~
Hot fixed the front side of the veil...
The bottom of the diamonte crystals are shown!
No!no! I can't allow this 'unfinished' look on a bride's veil~!
So, I have to....

... hot fixed ANOTHER diamonte crystal,
exactly at the same spot of the front crystal!
Need a very steady hand to do this yoy! >.<

Erica's Diamoante Wedding Shoes ^.^

2009-08-16T08:22:00.000-07:00

TADA~~~!!!

The final 'art piece' I created for Erica's Diamontes Wedding Shoe *^.^*

~ Final Styled Shoot for Erica's Diamantes Wedding Shoes ~

Here's how we started:
Some day end of May 2009, I got this email from Erica *^.^*
(we've been keeping in touch via email, twitter and sms..*hihihi...)

---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.

hi kathy...
been so long din hear anything from u, hardly to see u online too
i checked from your website... i saw tat u glued the diamonds on a shoes
for ur fren at the heel... i am very excited abt tat...

do u provide this kind of service to client as well?
how much u will charge if i wan double happiness word on my heel...
(one 喜 at each heel) 喜喜 !
regards/erica

---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.---.----.----.

*WOW~! I was so happy and excited to see her request *^o^*!! And immediately I accept this - another great challenge: to diamante CHINESE CHARACTER - the word 喜喜 ~~!! O.o !!~~ so many strokesss (OMG!) *sweating now...

So after a few more emails later from that day, finally on the 2nd Aug09, me n Erica meet *^.^* wahhahahaha... meet-up in real person ler~!!! Erica: U R NOT F*T lar~~ aiyohhh.... and ur FH is ssssooooo TALLLL ler! o.O And both of you r so friendly *^.^* talk until so loud n excited =p I think both side of my neighbour can hear us...hihihi....
But anyway... Thanks, Erica *^.^* for giving me this great opportunity again and thrust me for my 'creativity' diamante service *^.^* Hope u love them~~

Now, let me show you some of my 'behind the scenes' on how my diamante progress goes for your wedding shoe ~*^.^*~ *drum roll~~

First: I draw out the chinese charactor 喜 word and try to arrange the diamontes accordingly... The 1st draft design was not very nice and the words looks like 'robot type' =( Then realized it should have form from a combination of different size of diamontes... so the design looks more 'lifely' and not so boring~! *^.^*
Then, while I plan to source for smaller n bigger diamontes the next day, I started to design more options for the character...some creative ones =) *see options above

Then I finalised on this one~!!! 喜 with heart shape ~~ *^.^* ~~ Lovey dovey *hihihi
So the get the correct position of the diamontes to stick on the shoe, I hav to measure and create a 'mold' for the heels. *this part is damn difficult,man! coz the heels is not a flat surface *sweat again~

But finally I manage to do markings on the heels ~!
Check out my very colorful 'medicine tablet container' that I bought from 100Yen shop, to store my very precious diamontesss *hihihih I love it *^.^* somemore can store accd to colors! *happy yoy!

After a few days of sourcing the smaller n bigger diamontes (paid NUMEROUS visitss from PJ to KL's sewing/tailor's shopss) FINALLY!!! FOUND THEM~~ yohoo! So I start all over again to arrange the nicer creation of the word. *Notice the heart shape now is nicer becoz of the smaller diamontes to create a more dimentional shape *^.^* This part I spend longer time compare to the designing part *sweat sweat sweat...

It was 2.24am =(no kidding! It stated on my profile of this pictures when I took them) while i'm half-way...no no no... I think only quater-way of my diamonte-ing -.- Tired... continue tomorrow! must give quality work... must give quality work x100.....Zzzzz
