cheap mananahi for entourage gowns

[sevenstars]

sparklingjewel, I definitely had something more "special" in mind when I was first thinking about bridesmaids' dresses so I know how frustrating this must be for you. I also know how it feels to decide you're not happy with cheaper options and that you do want to spend more money on something (in my case it was my dress lol). In any case I hope you find someone you're happy with

Try Amour Couture, basic package rate for entourage is 40k for 8 pax that includes, 1 maid of honor, 2 bridesmaids, 3 Secondary Sponsors and 2 Flower Girls.

^reese17 I agree they will likely only wear it once kaya as much as i really want to give them pretty (and expensive) gowns my practicality is prevailing and I'm trying to not even meet those who i know are P6500 and up. Recently i've been recalibrating our budget and found out that although our wedding expenses have ballooned since we started planning, I have recently cutback about 120k from the peak and i'm very happy we'll be saving this much money.. hehe and personally, fiance and I will be about 100k under our maximum budget too, so yay! Been working hard to still be able to deliver the details we want while cutting back on those that won't make or break the wedding.

^sevenstars It is so hard to want something fancy on a limited budget! I honestly had no idea that plain and simple custom gowns cost these much na nowadays. For me ento gowns won't make or break the wedding itself but they will ruin the pictures! Been haunted by the pics I saved of the past outputs of designers i was considering (i saved them on my phone so i remember that if ever i book them that could happen to me). Hay maybe i should just cut the chase and book para i can shut my mind up hehe

sparklingjewel, I agree if the bridesmaids' dresses are super pangit they can make the group pictures look bad nga -- but I think as long as they're matino and the fabric is nice it'll be fine, even if the gowns aren't super fancy. I splurged on the bouquets nalang hehe.

Sis chili1113 and sparklingjewel, have you tried Teena? She is in wack-wack near coca couture lang and starting nya is Php6500 pero feel ko kaya naman nya mag adjust sa budget mo if lower lang ng kaunti

[sparklingjewel]

^I will meet her sis pero at 6k nakakapanghinayang padin so i will still try to look for 5k options

[Chili1113]

flufflyfluff: Oh my!! i think I know there Teena's shop is. It is a super convenient location for me! I just spoke with her and she is so nice on the phone. Her prices are within my budget also so I will set a meeting with her! Thanks flufflyfluff and sparklingjewel!

Welcome!! Hope you girls find your ento gown makers soon!

Happy preps to us!!:D

[sparklingjewel]

Haha thanks fluffyfluff! Chili1113 and I keep visiting the same shops and going through the same designers actually hahah. Same requirement and concerns.

In other news... still whittling down my shortlisted designers. I think im close to crossing out Ivory and White simply because they seem to have no experience with powermesh gowns yet (no rate, no swatches, no available sample pics of their outputeven after i asked), plus they don't seem to know what good ruching should look like even on chiffon gowns They're the cheapest among my choices left but i don't want to book and then regret later.

we were scouting for cheap ento gowns at the bridal fair, but the cheapest custom gown we found was 2500 from bella-something and their shop is in divi. other designer gowns nasa 5k and up. the nicest one i saw with samples is tantease, if we had enough budget i'd definitely go with them. we also saw some sample infinity gowns of desino dulce, i wanted to like them coz they were cheap at 2k lang each, pero hindi talaga babagay sa ento ko.

[sparklingjewel]

bzbee I know Tantease kasi nagpagawa ako prenup gown sa kanila. You have to choose from their existing designs is what i must say is the biggest drawback. Tapos 6500 ang rate if custom made to your size. Ok naman pagkagawa pero mahal for what it is..sobrang simple lang eh.

Si Desino is my ex-entourage gowns maker haha i won't even recommend them to you. Napabook lang kami impulsively dahil sa price, pinagsisihan ko rin. Buti nalang pinagsisihan din nila ako!! Uncompromising client hahaha.

I've researched and scouted so many designers---40+ na nasa list ko but i have a shortlist of pwede-na designers i can share with you kung budget mo 5-6k.. took me a while din to figure out na wala talagang sobrang ok na output below 5k kung gusto mo nice tela like powermesh or may lace appliques pa. The good quality ones nasa 6-8k each talaga. I settled on no lace appliques na so i could get a good rate for my ento gowns basta powermesh parin with full draping and ruching

[bzbee]

aww thanks sis sparklingjewel! nakakabilib ang dami mo ng pinagdaanan and super sipag mo magresearch! unfortunately, 2-3k lang talaga ang budget namin sa ento gowns, i want to stick to this budget to control na our expenses talaga. some of our sissies here even spent less than that, so im still hopeful.

[sparklingjewel]

^Ah okay, are you willing to consider infinity gowns? Yung kasi yung nasa 1500-3k budget range lang and there are so many brands offering it. Kung custom made at this range I am sure afford mo Divi.
Madami din mananahi sa Rizal area diba yung hindi designer but mananahi lang talaga i think 3k and below yan.

Haha i HAD to go through lots of research kasi medyo mapili talaga ako and i even consider location and parking and rapport with the designer as criteria not just the gown output Tapos sa gown, mandatory ko ang powermesh (which is typically more expensive din than chiffon) kasi i wanted lots of draping. Plus, im trying to save kahit na andami kong criteria so i had to get the best deal hahaha may mismatch ang wallet at requirements ko lol. But so happy move on na ako!
