OH I am so excited!!!!!! (Can I scream here?!?!) I started to try on some dresses in Dubai 2 weeks ago. I only tried on 3 gowns in one wedding shop by myself (with my fiance wandering outside somewhere), it was nice to wear the gowns but I realized that I didn''t really like trying on dresses "for fun". Maybe it is because my girl friends weren''t with me. It just wasn''t as fun as I imagined it would be. Since I am notorious indecisive, the thought of having try on many different dresses in many different stores (in different countries as well!) really overwhelmed me. So imagine how super-duper happy I was when my fiance found me this shop, famous for designing and making gowns for the (many) ladies-in-leisure in Dubai. (I later on realized that it is the same shop that one of the PSers recommended on my other thread!, so thank you as well!)

I saw the sketch yesterday..... and it was so beautiful. I never have a gown custom made before, so I was completely overjoy when I saw the sketch drawn especially for little ole me! I am going to ask if I can keep the sketch .. I want to frame it!

My designer was super nice .... though the other designer was not as friendly, I thought. In fact, when I walked in the place (quite a posh venue, I think), I wasn''t sure where to go. So this not-too-friendly (or should I say a "cool" designer said .... "what do you want?" (without a hello, naturally), I was completely tongue-tied. I went ... er ... a wedding dress, which he replied "There are NO wedding dresses here, this is COUTURE, this is custom made". By then (thank god), I regain my composure a bit. So I told him, yes I know, but I didn''t bring any pictures with me. So he said ..... sit there, a designer (MY very nice designer!!) will be with you. So I discussed with him what I like and sent him some pictures after I went home.

Yesterday I had my measurements done and chose the fabrics as well. However, I am having 2nd thoughts about the lace that I''ve chosen, so I am going back in 2 weeks to see more laces! (and yes, everything looks pretty much the same after a while

Now, the shoes!! I am thinking to have it custom made as well. I don''t see many pictures of wedding shoes with lace. I see a lot of white slingback satin wedding shoes, and that''s about it. Since I am not good at describing things, could you please post some pictuers of wedding shoes with lace here?? Pretty please with sugar on top!

I don''t have any shoes for you but please dear God can you tell me how to get custom heels and how much it would cost to do so? I don''t want anything extravagent. But I am looking for a plain saturated green pair of heels. I have been looking for months and I cannot find them. So where are you getting yours?

Hi Megs,

The shop is located in Dubai. It is called Arushi. The phone number is 3444103. I haven''t really discussed it with them about making my shoes, so I don''t know how much it will cost. I am meeting my designer again in 2 weeks, so I will let you know when I have a estimate.

Hi Trinity!! I looked up my old thread and of course it was you who recommended the shop (with a lot of other useful sites!!) Thank you so much!

I don''t have any pictures or even sketches to post ..... on my first visit with the designer, I wasn''t prepare at all ..... he attempted to draw me a sketch, but we decided that it would be easier if I could send him pictures of what I like. And he showed me the final sketch yesterday! There''s only one change noted so he wouldn''t be drawing another sketch. They wrote little notes and stuff on the sketch

(e.g. the owner/manager wrote my fitting schedule ... right on the sketch! I wanted to give her a piece of paper!)

If I can get my hands on the sketch, I would definitely scan it and post it here.

Hi Pandora, thanks for also suggesting having one custom made on the other thread! :)
I thought there is no way that I would have enough time to start the process, but they work SO quickly!!
