Dah beli baju raya? emmm...ye lar..since raya almost at the corner I bet sumer orang dah beli/siap yer...
Ni nak citer pasai baju raya. Fuyyo! dasat raya tahun ni..bukan saja petrol & barang2 keperluan naik harga, baju raya pun naik harga..ishk..ishkk :-(
Since working, tak pernah tempah baju raya, sumer ready made. Senang and kalo nak compare pricing pun actually almost the same. Actually, kiter dah serik sangat tempah baju kat tailor. Hampehhhh! 4 times teraniaya! Masalahnya, bukannya kiter tempah kat Cikjah belakang rumah, tapi kat butik! Kain lace plak tu. Pakai skali jar pastu masuk stor. Dah lar mahai, huduh plak tu..iskk..iskk..
As usually, stok baju raya kiter kat Subang Parade jer every year. Tapi saja jar nak menyedapkan hati, satu KL kiter round. Dengan harapan baju raya kiter lain dari yang lain, pastu cantik (mesti lar), within budget, glamer tapi tak keterlaluan..heheee - setahun skali katakan.
Few day puasa jer kiter ngan Kaktah dah terjah Kompleks PKNS @ SA. Kat situ punya lar melambak2 baju raya, tapi tawaf beribu2 kali pun tatap tak jumpa baju idaman.
Tapi dari pengamatan kiter lar kan, tahun ni tak dak new style. Almost all stalls jual baju recycle tahun lepas hat tak laku or tak habis stok. Kalo ada new design pun baju c/w pattern tapi matching ngan kain kosong (cut budget). Like 4yrs ago, baju kurung/moden labuci2 from Vietnam tgh meletop-letop waktu tu...3yrs back were baju kupu2 & embroidery kebaya dengan kain pareo.fuh! masa tu lar ramai training macam mana nak ikat pareo pakai buckle. 2yrs back famous ngan kain chiffon bertakhtha batu permata. Last year organza & lace. This year? hemm...
I went to the Curve, 1U, Mid Valley, the Gardens - nothing interesting! Shopping raya @ KL town? woo..woo..think thousand times pun blum tentu kiter pegi. Leceh, macet, overcrowded & too much hassle.
Alhamdulillah..baju raya for mum, dad, nieces & nephews sumer dah selesai. Dah bagi2 dah pun. So, it's my turn now :-) setelah sibuk ngan pelbagai aktiviti, only yesterday berkesempatan p shopping raya. Mestilar @ Subang Parade. Memang tak salah my choice. Every year, SP never let me down. Cuma, this year all the stalls scattered around @ 1st floor instead @ ground floor. Sampai jer sana, terus jadi ketaq lutut..hahaha..xcited nak sopping ;-)
Kat SP byk choices and never seen those outfits at any places that I had been above. BUT...oh goshhh! all RM200-1000/outfit. r u kidding? yeahhh..no jokes. Kalo budget rm150 - alamatnya dapat baju saja lar :-P
Satu set kebaya+silk pareo+selendang = rm350...fuh kayap lar cik abang cam ni. pastu chiffon+batu lip-lap = rm299..Sutera chiffon = rm600-800...huh!Tapi memangggg lawa. Pastu, yang paling kiter kesian + ralat - ada kat patut baju yg harga rm180-250 tapi sangatlah huduh design + materialnya. hemm...tepuk dada tanya lar selera masing2. Yang penting puas hati dan berbelanja bijak.
Rasanya ada lar jugak 3-4jam dok camping kat SP tu..confuse nak pilih baju raya. pusing2 pi mai pi mai tang tu jugak. Almost give up actually. Rasa macam tak per lah kalo tak der baju raya tahun ni. Redha. Bukan tak berkenan kebaya+pareo tu - cantik, cuma tak praktikal for myself. maybe it's good on the raya day itself, but after that? Lagipun kiter nak pegi Jakarta after raya ni, so kat sana ada more choices, better quality & cheaper.
Yes!jumpa yang berkenan! tapi tak der size! arrgghhhhhhh!
That's it. nak balik. tak mau dah sopping raya...then...on the way to exit, singgah jap kat satu buotique outlet ni (walaupun dah singgah 3-4 kali dah)- saja cuci mata for the final time.
Entah macam mana, kiter terambil satu baju ni. It was display kat belakang skali. Satu jer tinggal. Bertentang mata jer terus berkenan! without hesitate terus try and WoW! it's so perfect! Exactly what I'm looking for. Definitely different from others. Sutera opel with my fav colour-Pink. Dengan kembangnya kakak jual baju tu tunjuk lar dia orang punya fashion spread kat ruangan Fesyen Raya @ magazine Nona Oct 2008.Hemm..pandai taste ni..pilih bulu :-P
and yang paling best - guess what? I'm wearing XS size! huh? another joke of the day. Really XS...betoi ker ni? maybe cutting baju kot? hemmm..tak jugak lah..baju kurung moden jer ;-P takder pesen2 (elehh..cakap jar lar dah kusyuss) hik..hik..How much? hemmm...pejam mata jar lah..sebab dah penat pusing, alang2 dah jumpa yang berkenan di hati...rm329. hemmm...alahai baju raya :-)
