Your wedding gown is the most special garment that you will ever own. You want to make sure that you are getting a good one, but it can be difficult at times to know. There are a few things that you can look for to ensure that you are getting a fine quality bridal gown.
The first thing to look at is the price. It is a simple fact that well made wedding dresses will cost more than those that are slapped together. However, what if you are getting your gown at a sample sale, where the prices are reduced? If you know what to look for, you will be able to tell if the gown is a good value, or just cheap.
The best bridal gowns are created from natural materials, primarily silk. Beware of dresses that are use the word silk in their description, but do not clearly state that they are made of silk. Designers will often use terms like "Italian silk" to make a silk blend or even a synthetic fabric sound more luxurious than it really is. When in doubt, look for the tag inside the gown that lists the contents. The more silk, the better.
While you are there, stop and peek at the country of origin. Although many fine wedding gowns are made overseas (especially those that are heavily embroidered), it is even better when you can find a gown that is made in the United States, usually New York City. Those gowns are almost always created to order for each bride, instead of being mass-produced. This will ensure you both an excellent fit, and a more carefully crafted dress.
Another sign of a quality bridal gown is how the inside is finished. Are the seams neatly finished, or do they look bunchy and rough? Many top-notch dresses will be more elaborately constructed than the less expensive versions. This can be very important if you are choosing a strapless gown, because it means that the dress will have the necessary boning, and maybe even a built in corset, that will help it to stay up. Poorly made strapless gowns can be a recipe for wedding day disaster!
On a well made gown, all of the outside seams will also be nicely finished. You should not see any puckering along the bust or side seams. If there is embroidery or beadwork, it should be well aligned over the side seams. Even better, it should be on a ribbon stitched onto the dress, or stop before the side seams so that the dress can be properly altered.
Once you have found a wedding gown that was lovingly made, you will want to finish it off with equally beautiful accessories. Look for quality pieces like handmade wedding jewelry. Just like your gown, it is great to know that a real person took the time to carefully create wedding jewelry handmade just for you. When choosing a veil, make sure that any trim lays flat, and that it is neatly secured to the comb. All of these small details will add up to a perfectly polished bridal ensemble.
When you put on your bridal gown on your wedding day, it should make you feel like a million dollars (even though hopefully you didn't have to spend that much on it!). A gown that is a fine quality will go a long way towards helping you achieve that feeling. After all, when you know that your gown looks great, you will feel even more beautiful.--Bridget Mora
Barong Tagalog is properly referred to as the Barong Tagalog (dress of the Tagalog)
and it cannot be contacted to simply Barong since that would be equivalent in
English to saying “He is wearing a dress of “. The word Barong, one realizes, means
“dress of”.If one wishes to shorten the phrase, then it would be Baro or “dress”. Yes,
the
Barong Tagalog is a dress, a garment, a coat in itself. It is not a “shirt”. If it were,
then it would need a coat or a jacket over it to quality as formal wear and would
have to be worn tucked inside the trousers. Barong Tagalog can be worn at formal
and informal occasions, for day and evening wear, for business and at leisure.--Matt Barong
