Alhamdulillah I'm officially engaged now. It was such a beautiful day on that day, our family comes together and the whole ceremony run smoothly.
A little bit throwback to preparation days. One of the main thing on my list is my outfit. I don't want to wear kebaya because the design usually fitted with the whole body and it is not comfortable for me as I'm wearing hijab. So I thought about a very good long dress one. Because I couldn't find a great one that I really like, I decided to make one.
The problem is at that time I have an overload production situation. I couldn't make my own dress, and I ask one of my best friend, beautiful designer named Zarrah Panoet. We build our brands together, she with her fashion brand named House of Dunna and me with my Dena Apparel. Long story short, she agreed to make my engagement dress. Then we met having lunch together and then she took my measurement.
Around early September she gave me 5 different dress sketches, and magically what she drew is similar what's on my mind. After discussion with my husband-to-be, we picked one, here it is:
The day after we went to fabric store to find the requirement fabric as seen on the picture.
Finding the blue fabric one was quite easy, the silver one was really difficult. But finally we found it after very longg search, Alhamdulillah.
One month later, Zarrah told me that the dress was ready and she sent me this photo:
And my heart was skipped a beat, it was realllyyy beautifull the first time I saw it. Exactly what I imagine what it would be look like. Alhamdulillahh and on my engagement day I wore it and I smiled all day long because I really like it and proud to wore it. Love you lots ka Zarrah =))
