2nd Designer (Daze Aliman)

Dear Blog,

I went to my 3rd wedding fair last Saturday ( May 31). I got really disappointed because upon arriving at the venue I noticed that there were only a few suppliers. They didn't even fill the Metrotent in Ortigas. I believe there were more or less 30 suppliers only. BUT even if that was the case I still found a potential designer that would make my dream gown come true. Yes, and her name is Daze Aliman. She claimed that she's been in the industry for a decent amount of time. She also studied Fashion designing abroad and even catered for foreigners for years until she decided to come home in the Philippines to start a business here.

I described to her the gown that I want and asked for a quote but she gave me a price wAaaaay more expensive than Gracie Couture. I was about to leave when she asked me about my budget and so I told her.. She told she can work it out! I was shocked because from her initial 40K quote she agreed to a price that I asked. She just told me not to tell anyone about the price. She said she's still re-building her career here in the Philippines that's why she's trying to build her web of clients and get as many customer as possible.

Honestly, I liked her plans and visions for my dress. I can really tell that she knows what she's talking about. She suggested some things that I didn't think about before but realized that it's actually a good idea. The way she visualized my gown left a mental picture in my head that I still clearly see until now. I like her. Let's just see what will happen next. Will I go to her shop or will I go continue my hunt for "the" future designer of my gown? I wonder.
