Visit to a Bridal Studio - Divine Couture

Addy and I went to Divine Couture Designer Bridal Studio on recent Tuesday (20Oct09) to see some gowns because Addy love the gowns there. I put some designs up from Her World Brides Mag (which is a damn good magazine i realised!) which I think Addy said are nice.

They seem to have 2 main package - $4288 and $3388 I think. Can't exactly remember the details they had but i think it is the standard 1 wedding gown and 2 evening gown sets plus the usual. The biggest difference between the 2 is that the wedding gown for the more expensive one is custom-made. Designs are pretty neat! But it's to my untrained eye that is.

Service at Divine Couture was good too and they let Addy try out one gown which was fabulous. :)

The price is a little high even without a lot of other things like the bridesmaid's and bestman's wear. But i guess you are paying for the quality and design.

I have visited 2 flats so far and there have been lots of jargons to deal with. One of them is with regards to the letters attached to the number of rooms a flats have. I did some research and decided to post them here for future reference.

Miscellaneous

Miscell Flats (varies) – These are flats created by purchasing and joining 2 adjacent units. Such units are considered as one and have one address, utility meter and so on.

eg. a 3+3 is created by combining (2) 3-rm units and building a passageway through.

—–

Not all flat types exist in each estate, and a 4 ‘A’ layout in one estate might differ from another.

Also, floor area are estimates as newer flats are generally smaller, while upgrading of older flats would have added additional rooms/balcony/toilet.
