lace patches - how much required?

as suggested by fellow future brides, i've added up pasar mayestik in our coming trip. our travel agent, Kak Lina & my previous supir suggested us to visit Jatinegara too, for cheap wedding stuffs. not sure what "stuffs", so anyone been there before? is it worth a visit?

bridal laces i'm looking for, particularly for reception dress & some patchwork for akad nikah outfit.

i'm thinking of akad nikah outfit something like below, chiffon & patched with laces. and later add up with pastel beading.


but i'm not good at estimating how much/metre of laces i would need for patches hehe, tailor/designer would interpret it differently from my hentam estimation, kan. *to-do list : print sample & check with dressmaker*

but basically, my heavy patches would only be for neck/chest part and the rest can keep to minimum for hujung lengan, border baju & border kain. (and for selendang too perhaps?) design would just be typical kurung moden.


butik citra selling @ rm5k. gulp.
one layer skirting just enough, kan.

minus that tooo blossom lengan.
lace patches shud be by kain border, not heavy one as above. save cost :P

for patches, i might go for normal lace and save my french lace for reception dress.

4 days to go *grin*

i tanye kat euro moda, diorg tak allow beli sikit2...at least 2 metres...alasan dier..each gulung tu mmg utk 2-3 pasang..so kalau i amik semeter je, nanti ade customer yg tak cukup. nyampahs! (walaupun betul hihi..):P

tulah, chiffon2 @ citra mmg chantek but too overrated kan :P

to make it easier for u.. kalo nak save byk, bila u pg jkt nnt, carik la lace yg mana yg bunga dia u berkenan, beli dlm 2 mtr. balik sini suruh derang patch aje. like my baju nikah, patch kat leher tuh pon amik dr bunga kain lace i. nak senang patch amik bunga2 besar.
