Arrghhh...Shopping for dinner dress

My older bro's wedding's next month and I've yet to get myself a dress. My Mom informed that for the reception, I should get a long dress either in the shades of gold, cream or brown. To those who know me, you know it's difficult to see me in a skirt. Thus needless to say that it's the same for seeing me in a dress. What should I do? Rope in cousins for assistance :D

My cousins, Sandy and June offered to take me dress-shopping in Takashimaya after work today. After dinner in Ajisen Ramen (on me, of course...to thank them for spending time to find a dress for me, with me), my hunt for a dress began. Gosh, I think I tried close to 10 dresses, 4 tops and 4 bottoms within 2 hours! Oh, it also includes the day time attire...probably I'll go get the white top and light grey bottom from Elita tomorrow ;)

Cousins recommended Daniel Yam, however there weren't sizes that fit me...haih...then the nice saleslady informed us to try check out their boutique in Wisma Atria that may have wider range of sizes. We hurried there coz it was almost 9pm!

The nice sales lady at the counter suggested a few designs on top of trying the larger sizes of what I've tried in Daniel Yam's Takashimaya outlet. Gosh, I was really tired by then...but managed to FINALLY try a gold-purple dress that looks kinda good with a sheer black shawl.

Now I just need to get a pair of strappy & shimmering golden sandals to match my dinner dress. Shall post some photos of me in my new dress after Wesak Day weekend as my bro's wedding reception's on 17May.

Be patient :D
