The Perfect Fit: A Singapore Bride's Complete Guide to Wedding Gown Fittings | Cang-Ai
Hello gorgeous brides-to-be! 💕
Can I share something that still makes me smile after all these years at Cang-Ai (藏愛)? It's that magical moment when a bride sees herself in the perfectly fitted gown, and her eyes light up with joy. Today, I'm spilling all our fitting room secrets to help you find that perfect fit!
👗 Before Your First Fitting
Let's start with some prep work (because preparation is everything!):
What to Bring:
- The undergarments you'll wear on your wedding day (preferably nude and seamless)
- Your wedding shoes (or shoes with similar height)
- A hair tie (to simulate your wedding day hairstyle)
Pro Tip: Schedule your first fitting 4-6 weeks before your wedding. This gives us plenty of time for adjustments while avoiding last-minute stress!
📏 The Perfect Fit Checklist
Here's what we look for during fittings at Cang-Ai:
Top Fit:
- You should be able to raise your arms comfortably
- No gaping at the neckline
- Bust support feels secure but not tight
- Straps stay in place when you move
Waist & Bodice:
- Can take a deep breath easily
- No pulling or puckering of fabric
- Sits smoothly without wrinkles
- Comfortable when sitting
Skirt & Length:
- Hem just touches the floor in your wedding shoes
- Can walk, sit, and dance comfortably
- No catching or tripping hazard
- Perfect flow when moving
Real Story: Last month, one of our brides brought her favorite dance moves to the fitting room - such a smart way to test the dress's movement!
