There will be a wedding on December to attend to. A girl friend who will be marrying a famous family name back in the homeland. She chuckles every time I tease her of this well-known clan that she will be embracing soon and be part of the tribe. I panic at the thought of what to wear. It's rare to find here in Japan a boutique where you could just ask for a fitting. There are shops though that would handle, if any ready-to-wear, customized fitting. Unless you'd go for a big brand designer, then you'll have a custom-made dress tailored only for you and your liking. This is one of those days that I wish I were in the Philippines, where I could just scurry to my favorite tailor/seamstress/local couture designer and ask for my design to be handmade-ready in a short period of time.
Anyway, here are some eye-candies I spotted from Etsy shops. And you know how well I love vintage designs.
