Dressing Up My Entourage

03.26.2011 by Leah // 7 Comments

The ladies in my entourage will wear a twist-wrap dress in jersey fabric.

This choice of dress was a result of my countless consultations with them (there are only 4 ladies in my entourage composed of the Matron of Honor and 3 Secondary Sponsors.  No bridesmaids and flower girls for me).

Here are the pegs of the dress styles I showed to them:

The ladies love it!  So I asked my "sisters" over at W@W for referrals on who can make this kind of dress for us.  

One W@Wie referred me to Marilenn Florendo, who is based in Cebu.   I sent her an email and scheduled my sis-in-law (who is my Matron of Honor and is based in Cebu) to visit her shop there.

Call it good luck or what, but it turned out that Ms. Florendo’s residence is just in a village next to my brother’s (and sis-in-law’s) village.   So going to her house is not a hassle as it is just a few blocks away.

Btw, Ms. Marilenn is already abroad, it is her equally-talented and super-friendly mom, Mrs. Lili, who is running the business now.   It was a breeze transacting with her whom I’ve come to call "Tita" (aunt) hehe because she is really nice.

Here are some of pictures of their actual creations:

My orders were done in 2-weeks time (that fast! no stress at all) and they all fitted beautifully.   I ordered them late February and by 2nd week of March they are already with me (shipped from Cebu).   My girls just love them!

Here are their pictures when they tried on the dress:

Dress Style:  Kimono Wrap.
Length:  Tea Length

Dress Style:  Sleevless, Two-Shoulder Wrap
Length:  Tea Length

Dress Type:  Halter Wrap
Length:  Floor Length

Aren’t they lovely?  The dress are in chocolate brown shade and they love it because they can very well use it for other events, just by accessorizing it with their shoes and bags of other colors!   Yehey!  Am so happy!

      Re: question
      Hello, shipping would be around P200, if LBC.
      My brother is based in Cebu and he’s the one who bring the dresses in Manila nung time na madalas pa sha umuwi rito. That’s also why I had the dresses made a bit earlier hehe.
      You can also inquire directly from Mrs. Lili on the shipping rates and other options available minsan kse umuuwi rin sha ng Manila.

      Hi Abbie, I don’t really know how much the infinity dress would cost now, but back in 2011, it’s like P1,800 per dress =)

      Here’s the link to Marilenn’s infinity dress: http://marilenn.com/

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
