Oh...Baju Raya Ku..

Each year, only one baju raya i'll do.  Nak tukar 1st day pun tak sempat, its like going out at 10.30am untuk beraya and only by midnight i reached home so nak tukar mende.  By the second day, i'm already in my jeans and blouse.  Bukan apa, i hardly wear baju kurung / kebaya to office.  Usually i beli baju raya yang orait siap-siap so that i can wear to kenduri or even for hotel functions.  Since i hardly wear, my kurungs and kebayas can last till 7-8 years. Serious babe!


Tah kenapa this year bila je kasut pijak Euromoda tu...mata dah terkelip-kelip dek warna rainbow seantareo kedai. Agaknya kena hembusan setan shopping yang bertenggek kat sign board kedai kot.  In the end, i terjebak, i went and get myself 3 pieces of kain.  Eh..kain kita panggil pieces ke?


Anyway brought to my tailor, kira punya kira harga jahit...mak aiiii dah nak sama harga dengan harga kain ku beli.. Lining dah sepasal then si Aso ni add "Ini kain manyak susah mau jahit..lembut sangat, so mau extra charge lagi".  Eiii..nyesal betul tah kenapa last 2 years i said to myself i'm not gonna take any transparent materials ANYMORE, tak nak beli dry clean punya but itu laaa yang akhirnya ku pilih. "You mau tambah labuci manik?".  Nak tambah mende, tailoring pun nak cecah harga kain.  


Ingat dalam hati, ku suruh je laa Indon jahit manik, last year jahit about RM90 je..then last week masa tengah google2 cari ilham nak kasi design kat si Indon ni..terpaku mata jap tengok design dia buat..mak ai..cun melencung..kalau kasi Indon, jawabnya ratusan laa..3 pasang lagi..kalau paling chokia pun RM150 dah RM450, pergh...in the end i decided to sew the manik myself.  Jangan pandang ku sebelah mata babe, dulu time-time anak dara memang rajin mende-mende ni tapi sejak ada rumah dan tangga, kemalasan bertapak kat minda.

Tema tahun ni green...environmental sket..tapi jahit manik on kain nipis memang lecehnya patut Aso kedai nak mahal...leceh gila...silap haribulan boleh tercarik kain!

below are some of the pix i googled...you can go to her websites.  Cun babe...! And these 2 ladies tak lokek nak share tips and they're even buat classes.  Boleh laa korang cuba.
