Sketch

This is my dream gown as interpreted by Frederick Peralta.

Lining

This was my first fitting. I couldn’t contain my happiness with my gown. Kahit lining pa lang, I thought, pwede na!

Actual Gown w/o Beadwork

I was happy with the gown even without beads. I was not sure kasi that I wanted beadworks e. So if Frederick said that this was the finished product, I would have accepted it gladly!

Final Fitting

Seeing the gown with the beadwork made me speechless! Honestly, I was not really keen on beads. I thought that beads make gowns look cheap! But I was wrong. I loved the beadwork of my gown. Meron pang flower-detail. There were flower buds incorporated with the beadwork. There were embroideries of lace patterns on my gown too. Parang may 3D effect yun flowers. Ang ganda!

Finished Product

Honestly, I couldn’t move after I wore the gown. It was really heavy! For this picture, they assisted me so that I can step backwards and lean on the wall.

After the Wedding

My gown was heavily soiled! It costed us almost P 5,000.00 at the Manila Steam Laundry to have the gown dry cleaned!
