I don't do balls ..

Yeap, I have to accompany The Hubby to his Graduation Ball next week. And at the Istana no less and the President will be there (Hubby found out today that he won't .. phew) . And guess what?! I didn't start looking for a gown till today. Was in denial about it I guess. Lol :p

And of course, it's hard enough already finding a gown for ME here. Everyone is so skinny n short. Damn it! And what's worse is being pregnant.

I knew I was gonna have a hell of a time finding a long gown to fit me.

Walked into Robinsons and found this lovely teal Grecian type maxi dress from Coast. And it comes in my size. Pregnant and all. Am really happy with it but I thought it was rather expensive at $399.

I was told by a friend that evening dresses are about that price. Oh dear, luckily this will be about the only formal dinner I attend in a long long while. Lol :p





The Hubby was the one who first spotted it on the rack and insisted that I try it btw. Not bad right! I was initially unconvinced by the colour and the price but after trying it, it looked kinda decent on me! Yay!

I love the dresses from Coast. I only have one so far, but it's definitely a place I would go to look for a nice evening dress.

I was gonna suggest Coast too! I bought a nice cocktail dress from there. :) I'm assuming this is the CSC ball? Fun!! I still remember getting to UE Sq at fricking 4pm in cocktail dress and assorted finery to clear security and bus in to the istana!!!
