Actual day package with Bridal Affairs

The 2nd time that I went, I tried few more wedding gowns but still could not find the gown I wanted.
So I went home to think again whether I can settle with their off-the-rack gown which will be more cheaper or custom made gown.

Pros and cons between off-the-rack and custom made gown

Pros for off-the-rack
You can see, feel and wear the gown, best if you choose a gown that you like and also cheaper.

Cons for off-the-rack
Many brides may have worn the gown that you choose, but if you do not mind, this point would not bother you.
Sometimes the bridal shop may have new arrivals gowns from off-the-rack,be sure to check with them.

Pros for custom made
The gown will be made to measure accordingly to your body, based on the design you like and fabrics you want.
Since its a brand new gown specially made for you, you will be the first one(the custom made gown will be kept by the bridal shop and let the rest of the brides-to-be to wear as off-the-rack gown after your wedding day) or only one to wear it(the gown will be kept by you as you will buy it but the gown will be much more expensive than the one that is kept by the bridal shop).

Cons for custom made
Risk that the gown may not turned out the way you want.
Based on the fabrics and design you want, the cost will be expensive than off-the-rack.

Since I have done my homework on the types of wedding gown I like.
I went ahead with a custom made gowns and emailed her.
She have a group of seamstress in New York that will custom made the gown for me.
All along I thought her seamstress is in Singapore,was quite surprised they are in New York?
So my next concern was whether my custom made gown will be expensive?After she checked with her seamstress,based on the fabrics and design of the gown, the actual cost of the gown turns out quite reasonable for me after a little discount since I'm taking actual day package with them too.

Upon meeting Christin for the 3rd time,she advise the gown at least takes 3 months to complete, to be on the safe side will be 4 months as they need to ship the gown to Singapore.
If there is any earlier completion of the gown she will call me.
She took my measurement with my bra and heels(I intend to wear on wedding day) and only my underwear on.
Payment of the custom made must be paid in full and for the actual day package, they need you to pay 50% of the package price.
Finally the custom made gown queries is finalised, just waiting to see my gown in about 3-4months time.
