Textile Galore!

i have found a new love for Arab Street! the colourful and vibrant streets, together with the nostalgic rows of shophouses, gives a totally different aspect to shopping in the city district. this is a change from the constant shopping at huge shopping centre type of places like Orchard road, City Hall, Bugis, etc. Sharene had to buy materials for an evening dress she is sewing, so we went down to Corina's very own Wedding Dress Boutique at Arab Street. i've never really gotten to know corina personally, even though we stay about a 10 min-walk away from each other, and we've been attending the same church BMC since forever. its mainly because we belong to different age groups and generations. she hangs with the older yuppie crowd, who we always deemed were the 'cool & sophiscated' ones. But today, it was so fun just talking to Corina and finding out about her designing ambitions. Walking around arab street from shop to shop, under the blistering sun, was pretty tiring. from looking for chiffons, to thai silk, to laces, to can-can material like mesh. and woahhh having to think of a colour scheme is a huge headache on its own. i can't wait to see the final product of all your efforts sharene! let me post a picture of your beautiful evening dress when u r done with it k?!? who knows, you might very well be talent spotted by a famous Barcelonian fashion designer who reads my blog. grin.
