Finally! I was able to chat with my couturier earlier this evening and gave her my final (yes, FINAL!) dress peg. No more changing of mind, I promise! I’ve been thinking about it for a couple of days now, since we last spoke and I realized, I really want a big fluffy skirt. A big gown. 🙂 So finally, I resent the photo again to my couturier and she told me that she’ll get back to me tomorrow as she will be recomputing (AGAIN!). She said she doesn’t want to increase the price of my dress but it might increase since I requested for at least 12 inches of trail. Oh c’mon! Will it really cost it that much!?
But anyway, I’ll be waiting for her feedback tomorrow and see whether there’s an increase (AGAIN?!!) in price or not. I’m hoping there won’t be, of course.
And as much as I would like to share the photo of my dress design.. I’d rather not to so somehow it would be a surprise. 🙂
Hi moon child! I was surprised that I was directed to your blog in searching for feedbacks of Costura Grafica and another surprise is that we have the same wedding day! Mine is also September 8, 2012. How’s your chat with Ms. Tessa? Is she ok to work with? i’m an overseas bride and it’s quite a concern to really have that “it” feeling with suppliers.
Hi Ms. Dory! 🙂 wow! What a coincidence! Same couturier, same wedding date.. 😉 and same as you, I’m an overseas bride as well! 😀 so, I know what you mean by that “it” feeling. I sometimes get the sudden feeling of doubt from time to time with my suppliers.
Ms. Tessa is easy to talk to. I can’t say much about working with.. At least not just yet. I’ve probably met her personally, once or twice last November 2011 and after that we were communicating via email and YM chat. I think I’ve bothered her so much with my dress, repeatedly asked for quotation on different designs.. But no matter how many times I consult with her, she’s always accommodating my questions. I think she’s also very kind, like she would like her clients to be pleased. May I ask, have you met her personally? 🙂
By the way, if you’re interested, I can suggest a forum website which I am also a member, and you can join discussions with other brides and bride-to-be’s.. 🙂
