THAT white dress!
Marilyn Monroe was famous and had a famous white dress.
I just have a famous white dress! 😀 Its actually taken on a life and identity of its own since the Citta Bella news eh?! My sis told me she wouldn’t be able to borrow it anymore because its just too memorable LOL!
A lot of you told me how much you liked it (thank you!) and asked where it came from, or if it was supplied by the magazine’s wardrobe.
That dress is actually my own. I bought it from Tang’s in Singapore during one of my visits, under the brand T.S. Not a well known or very expensive brand at all.
I was told to attend the photoshoot in a white dress/outfit and as I didn’t have anything white, I had to go out and get one. The dress on the hanger didn’t quite catch my eye. I walked past it quite a few times before asking to try it on, and even then, I wasn’t quite sure about it.
Still, I got it just in case I didn’t have time to go out and find one (and I didn’t) and the rest as they say is history. Its a simple white cotton dress with a very flared pleated skirt and is an empire cut which is very forgiving. The flowers along the sides are what add some character to the piece.
I have seen some T.S. pieces in Robinsons, The Gardens before this, but I do not know if this dress is there. I like this brand – they do very nice well cut dresses that fit me very well and I own quite a few pieces. Its not expensive at all during a sale (the cheapest I paid was S$29) but it can be a little pricey if not. I’ve forgotten the price of this dress but it was a full price piece that I remember cringing over when I made payment for it.
I and my dress thank you so much for liking it. Its certainly a memorable looking dress. I can’t imagine being able to wear it anywhere else after this 😛

ParisB says
June 5, 2011 at 6:41 pmHaha is it very me? 😀 I am super happy with that over door hanger! No need for drilling or nails. But I think Ikea discontinued it – silly cows!

June 5, 2011 at 12:04 pmOn the hanger, it’s nothing much. But on you, the dress is looks fabulous.
ParisB says
June 5, 2011 at 6:43 pmThank you Aiyu! That teaches us all to never judge a dress by how it looks on the rack yes? 😉

milktea says
June 5, 2011 at 1:52 pmIt’s a gorgeous dress! At first, I thought Citta Bella had lent u a designer dress for the occassion! 🙂
ParisB says
June 5, 2011 at 6:46 pmThank you Milktea! I would have loved for them to lend me a dress though – I would never wear designer otherwise hehe… 😉
Monstro says
June 5, 2011 at 1:52 pmI absolutely love that dress, and would go look for it myself if I had the dang time! Haha! I think you could totally wear it again to a private party 🙂
ParisB says
June 5, 2011 at 6:46 pmHaha… If I see it in Robinsons, I’ll drop you a line! 😉 I think you’d look awesome in it!

Nikki says
June 5, 2011 at 9:23 pmOh my! That dress definitely looked like it was made for you!!!! I wouldn’t dare borrow it too if I am your sister 🙂 Aside from it being too memorable for you, everyone in the whole wide world saw you and complimented you on this 😀

Cas says
June 6, 2011 at 2:22 pmThat dress is indeed gorgeous. But if you can’t picture yourself wearing it again then perhaps it might fetch a very very good price on Ebay by those who loves this dress lol….just saying 🙂
ParisB says
June 6, 2011 at 3:01 pmLOL!! That is most certainly something to think about! 😉 Thanks Cas! 🙂
