diandra paramitha sastrowardoyo  got married yesterday. it caused many broken hearts but look at her. so beautiful in white kebaya. the akad nikah was held at the dharmawangsa hotel with traditional javanese ceremony.

and here’s the picture of her on the engagement day last february. she looks stunning in red kebaya. the question, who design her kebayas?

her fiance was in the traditional clothes from south sumatra. and probably dian wore songket too.

i’m not at home, but my shoes are. leave them a message.

3 days to go…

after getting the wrong pointy shoes that i hate, i finally get the white and simple peep toe that i love. they are 7 cm heels and i think i need to practice walking on them. so since last night, i walk around the house with the shoes.

my kebaya is done and dry cleaned too. now, i just have to create a list of things to bring to the venue, so i won’t miss anything.

mom’s kebaya

9 days to go…

while my kebaya is still on endless progress, my mom’s kebaya is already done.

she’s not in jakarta yet so she hasn’t have chance to try this on. it looks great.

here’s the fabric of the kebaya.

kebaya fitting part 3

10 days to go…

i hate to admit that my kebaya is still in the making. i had my last fitting and it was still not right. because the kebaya is heavier after the beading, the gravity pull it down and now the bustier is protuding.

and please ignore the buttons, there are so many of them so i didn’t button them all. they look messy in the pictures.

his outfit – done

14 days to go…

in only about 2 weeks, -f-’s outfit is done.
and mine? it’s already almost 8 weeks and my kebaya is still in the making

the designer promised me this week then he postponed it again until next week. now, i’m having a panic attack!

kebaya fitting part 2

22 days to go…

last thursday was the second fitting for my kebaya. the kebaya’s measurement was fixed but not the bustier. it’s still hold by pins from behind, it’s the reason i look so fat in the picture hehe *excuse*.

he did one example for the colorful flower payeting. i don’t like the pink part. i told him to change it to peach, so it will match better with my dark brown batik.

the kebaya will be ready next week.

this week…

25 days to go…

• terjadi tragedi undangan cetak ulang . it was my fault didn’t confirm about the time.

• kotak seserahan udah dilengkapi. menurut pedagangnya terbuat dari daun pandan.

• minggu ini fitting kebaya lagi. mudah-mudahan progressnya lebih baik ya…

• setelah baca rundown, akan ada kid’s room. jadi supaya khidmad, selama akad nikah, anak-anak kecil akan ‘disekap’ dulu

unindentified pattern

is it sidomukti?
or modified sidomukti?
or what?

my sister wore the same pattern on her wedding, but hers was the black and white version.

ps: none of us is javanese
