Dear Confashion: Looking for a Wedding Gown

 Q: Dear Confashion,

I need your help my wedding is after couple months and I couldn't find a suitable dress for the big day!! Could you please help me by asking your readers if they have a wedding dress that they own and want to sell or something?? I went through most of the known bridal boutiques in Kuwait and I wasn't satisfied by designs or sometimes the price is too high for my budget.

Yours,

A: Dear H,

I did read in the local newspapers of some stores that sell pre-loved and used wedding and bridal gowns but unfortunately I'm not sure where. I do know however that some stores in Kuwait sell somewhat reasonablly priced gowns like: Al Boshiya boutique in Salhiya, Al Othman Boutique in Mariam Complex in Salmiya, and  Pronovias boutique in 360 Mall. Also Net-a-Porter's wedding boutique has some really nice and modern selection that won't break the bank.

And finally maybe some of my readers can give you some suggestions or if someone wants to re-sell their wedding gown, please send an email to H at Hjr139@hotmail.com with a description and preferably a photo of the gown and price.

Dear H.

I'm sorry you are having a hard time finding your wedding dress, I can only imagine how frustrating this is. I agree with Confashions, there are so many budget friendly options in Kuwait, I do love Pronovias in 360, the dresses are really elegant and the prices are reasonable the wedding gowns on net-a-porter will go on sale very soon (in fact the US site is already on sale) ...you can also try http://www.shopbop.com/boutique-wedding-dresses/br/v=1/2534374302183381.htm?all the wedding boutique at shopbop ...there is also BCBG's wedding boutique http://www.bcbg.com/family/index.jsp?cp=11254547&categoryId=11032626&clickid=cat_leftnav_txt&view=all their dresses are a bit too simple so depends on what you are looking for really, you can also rent couture dresses there is a place in Galleria 2000? I think they are a bit over the top so it depends on what you are looking for in a dress.
Hope you find what you are looking for, and congrats! :)

Hi everyone,

I know the post is old but if anyone is interested in a gorgeous wedding dress that has never been worn please contact me at aliah.dehdary@gmail.com for more information and pictures. I happened to get the dress from the US and the designer made very few pieces of the dress. I had to change my wedding venue and make my wedding a mixed wedding and therefore had to find another dress. No exaggeration though, the dress is gorgeous and has a lot of beautiful details. Never been worn and going for a great price! I am sure you will not find the same dress in Kuwait.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Aliah

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
