“What you see is what you get”. This is the edge of RTW gowns. Even though I already have a designer I decided to fit RTW gowns to know what type of gown best fits me.
Instead of going to Divisoria, which has a vast choices of RTW gowns, I decided to go to classy and imported (with less hassle) gown boutiques who offers this type of gowns.

What I like about their gowns is that it hid my flabby stomach without having a hard time breathing. I must promote that hindi basta-basta magagaya ang mga gowns nila. The fit is really different.Their gowns don’t have corset but have what they call a band, sorry can’t explain what it’s like but it doesn’t cover up your whole torso. Amazing noh?
Sorry I forgot the names of the gowns I tried on except for my top two choices which, later, I will show below. I wanted to post the pictures of sis Johan, who tried on some gowns too, but I think I need to ask her permission first.
So here are my top two choices.
First gown I fit, Onice by Ateller (left) P60,000.00 (this is discounted already); Third gown I fit, Pineda by Pronovias (right) P75,000.00 (discounted)
Freebies include secondary veil, cord and 2 pillows.
Anyway, here is the interior of Mi Sueno.
lots of choices!

Excellent service for this bridal boutique. They have a Bathrobe ready (para hindi ka makitang hubo’t hubad) whenever you change gowns, a shoes that you can wear to complete your outfit, and a uniformed assitant. Also, their fitting room is large too. Plus their gowns are affordable.

Pardon that some of the gowns are not photogenic coz it’s not my size. Their gowns are tempting because of the affordabilty. But as I have said I already have a designer.
They also sell bridal accessories like pouches, belts for accent, tiaras, headbands etc. Anyway, here’s their interior.
Most gowns are sold kaya kokonti ang nasa rack, but new stocks are coming the following week daw.
Finished off the day with a Mongolian Buffet at Sweet Inspirations.
P.S. I have to say this, customer service at this resto is VERY POOR.
