I am so sorry that I delayed this post. Zain hutang this post to some bloggers and readers.
Believe me, its only because I have worked 7 days straight this week. I miss sharing my thoughts on this.
ok..
Firstly
THE VERA WANGS OF MALAYSIA
- Radzuan Radziwill
- Rizalman
- Jovian Mandagie
- Syaiful Baharim
- Bernard Chandran
- Butik Citra
Ok this is just to name a few. But to cut it short.They are all awesome and will make you feel like ur a million dollars. Hence, rm5k is cheap to them. Thats the budget. the very least.
The Upscale Designers
- Putra Cosry
- Amin Jauhary
- Sharifah Kirana
- Salikhin Sidek
- Gezal Mihat
- Calvin Thoo
- Bill Keith
- Jedan
- Man Kajang
- Ismail Hassan
- Kapas Couture
The Upscalers, to me are people who have been in the industry for a fair amount of years, that they are good, deliver professionally, have their own boutiques and are priced not over the top like the Vera Wangs, but give allocation for the normal bride who do not really want an off the rack dress yet do not want to bazir. I am thankful that these group of designers can reason price.
The Contemporaries
- Jeffriey Ibrahim
- Syomir Izwa
- Rizman Ruzaini
- Hatta Dolmat
- Zery Zamry
- Arma (Wedding Couture)
- Lynda Rahim
- Nik Irwan Rosli
- Albert Yap
Basically, their prices range from RM800 and grows from there.. I mean for more established designers they would be RM2k. But for our newer contemporary designers, their prices are slightly less. Remember some of these prices are inlcusive of tudung, veil and shoes..Apart from Albert Yap and Lynda Rahim, the rest of the designers prefer house calls, as they work from their studios/homes.
The Highstreet Designers
- Dzull Classique ( Full chiffon, starts from RM150 onwards )
- Kimie Kajang ( Full chiffon starts at RM200 onwards )
- Unaisah Azlan ( Full chiffon starts at RM 270 onwards )
- Fidz Collection ( Shah Alam, starts at RM300 ++)
- Puteris in-house designer ( Starts at RM600 but well experienced )
- Dina's Collection ( Starts from RM700)
- Stitch ( Taman Melawati, strarts at RM120 for plain chiffon, has in house beautiful beads stitcher, however due to the price, a lot of demand, so kindly go 5 months prior your event, good fitting )
- Eila Busana Cinta ( Pertama Complex, price described as affordable with good workmanship )
Well the reason I call them high-street is because, they have high quality, but everyone can afford them, as in, the budget is far very affordable and you get back every single cent you pay. Hence why my engagement dress is gonna be by UNAISAH AZLAN!
Ok...This entry will be continued soon.

ReplyDeleteerrr..i ada buat my wedding dress with nik erwan rosli.seriously, i dun think that he should be label that hight.
ReplyDeletei amek dia sebab ada baca blog kak diah "diahlicious.blogsport.com", tp lepas buat baju ngan dia.rasa agak menyesal.
baju dia siap kan lambat sgt. dah hantar kain awal2 dah.penat kena push dia tuk siapkan baju.1 week b4 wedding baju x siap pun lag!. one day before nikah baru dpt baju. itupun still besar. cam x di alter pun gamak nyer.terpaksa pakai lah jugak..nak buat camner kan.
tp serius..itu lah skali jer hantar.. u ada dgr ada sesape lagi x agak nye ada experience yg sama ngan nik irwan ni.ke i jer yg nasib x baik kena camtu?
DiNa
