I have to say I was never quite a New Year person

I have to say I was never quite a New Year person as I've felt crossing into another year a man-made symbol of time. This year I want to take the opportunity to pen down what I hope to be a reminder of an unusual year and what unexpected things it made us capable of.

It was a year of loss for me- loss of life,
motivation,hope,business stability and time with loved ones.
I think I struggled mostly with my mental health,juggling having not much to do and not enough to provide. The anxiety can be so invisible and damaging.

But I am grateful for the opportunities thrown at me and the trust given and honestly I felt much more appreciation was shown during difficult times ever than before and I wish to pay this kindness forward. I will do more to show my appreciation this coming year.

I want to thank myself for the courage to seek help when I know I could not do it within myself any longer. For having an open mind and compassion, this is essentially the best self-love I have shown myself this year.

This year also shows me first-hand that perseverance pays off, whether it takes 5 years, or 10 years.

I've said to myself many times this year that this will be the year of survival and I've survived!
Here's to a better year ahead🥂

Now it's a CheongSam season, so grateful to be working with so many beautiful colors before this year ends.

Hello Sunday!🌈
Yesterday was such a full day and it hasn't been that way for a while.🙇‍♀️ Feels good to be meeting more of you and discussing wedding plans and trying out wedding outfits for next year👰
Also excited to be making CheongSams for the semi custom CheongSam promo that you signed up for. Always thought that CheongSams really offer me plenty of creativity opportunity!

We are launching on Friday, 27 November. The @emcee.couture Spring Summer collection "Anthesis" :New Bloom.
.
I know I say this with each launch and it still makes me really nervous before each launch " have I done enough?" " Will people like them?"
It's really something else to create during this climate, so many restrictions and limitations. Especially with the worsen situation since the start of year we are really strapped, I made spending extra careful prioritising my team's wellbeing and prolonging our cash flow.
I have to say I love this collection 🌸 They are pieces that takes you from work to lounge and special occasion worthy.
If you like them like I do,send words of encouragement and share them with your friends!

I just want to take this opportunity to have this pen down, for when I need to feel lifted again and a reminder for when I need it.

Truth to be told, this few months hasn't been easy at all. A couple personal struggles given the situation of the pandemic.It has really affected our industry and as much as we keep our spirits in good form, there will be days I get just too worried or unsure of how the future will be.

And these came by the past week, from Brides whom were affected by the pandemic as well and I am so happy we stood in solidarity through it.
Can't help to think how these feedbacks came in as such a big encouragement and I have nothing but gratitude for now🙏

As a small business owner in the creative field we often do a lot of collaborating with other small businesses, because why not lift up others and create magic together. So when we do, we go out and seek help from those who are stronger in the areas we lack. I am very proud to say that each vendors including talents took out their precious time and commitment in making this vision possible.
Thank you everyone for making this happen!
It was such a pleasure to get to know each one of you and your trade🤍

Getting ready in the #NewNorm.💃
Never would I thought I'll be making face masks in my journey, but I did enjoy myself making them with some of our known attributes.
First I knew I wanted my masks to be light,comfortable and breathable. I have seen so many masks in the market that are beautiful but I am just not sure the practically of long-term wearing.

It has to be pretty of course!
What more to have on the masks but some of my signature embroidery 🌸🌿 .
Head on to @emcee.bridal if you are keen on seeing the designs♥️
Makes me so happy with so many of your sharing them with your family and friends ,honestly they make a perfect gift don't you think? Just let me know if it is , I am happy to make a handmade card to go with it!

Unfortunately I have been feeling rather uninspired for the past week, hopefully the next wash of hope and inspiration will come soon.

"after every storm there will be rainbow🌈" Sharing my two-cents with @nanyang.ec on how the pandemic is impacting the fashion industry.

Also my best friends shared with me(with FB's reminder help) that 8 years ago, I open my first studio chasing my dream. Blood and sweat indeed, like they say I will ride out this storm like any other hurdles I had.

Throwback to blue skies and sea breeze. 🌊🐚🌞 If I have to honest here,with MCO and discouraged mass gathering for the next 6months to 1 year, it's not easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel now.Especially so when you have staff to take care of and their livelihood depends on this job.

While I can do my best to pivot this period of time, I'd expect the wedding industry will be affected for another 6-8 months to the very least.

Found these while I was cleaning my phone 😂 I try my best to "test" out my creations, this is particular was the Xue Yee Cheong Sam gown at about 60% completion for the @theweddingkl show.
I had to make sure the idea of transforming cape to a spectacular train during the walk was possible.
Problem is it was made for 180cm height of a professional model, and I'm only 152cm tall😅

Swipe left to see how it was supposed to be done.
Now who did it better?

Thank you for your love story Kwi Sing!
One of the perks I have with this job is that despite some of less pleasant experience, I get to meet many kind souls too😊
Like this one here, she recently took the time to write me a long email on her love story ♥️, how they met and how it was on their wedding day.👰🤵
I absolutely love stories like this and thank you for making me a part of your beautiful union.

Can't wait to share more of their frames on @emcee.bridal .

*this is NOT how we create dresses at the atelier*🤣😂🤣

I decided to take some time off ystd to work on this project, so I took out my old trusty portable sewing machine but to realize that I haven't got paper for pattern drafting, no measuring tape, and I only have this mini embroidery scissors at home!😰
Still adamant to work on this, I used newspaper🗞️, retractable measuring tape from my toolbox 📐and the embroidery scissors for cutting.✂️
.
This really reminded me of the days I started this business, where I started of making dresses I'd wear myself and putting it up on a blog. I used to make casual and work dresses too under @emceecouture before I decided to focus on special occasion and bridal wear @emcee.bridal.

I was called the 1m girl by the fabric store I frequented, as I only buy 1m or less for my petite size. 🙏It has been so long since I have the time to make something for myself, I'm really glad for this today and for the humble reminder of where I started.
My little machine in my own home.🏡

*Disclaimer- this is definitely not the usual SOP at the atelier- no chalk, no markings and no proper tools?!😅
This documentation is made for some fun and of course a cute dress that I could use after this MCO is over!

Progress from a couple days of #WFH No doubt this

Progress from a couple days of #WFH
No doubt this is a stressful time, first two days were spent rescheduling appointments, subsequently rescheduling work and communicating them to my colleague.

As much as I try to remain on production schedule, it is inevitable that the progress of some orders might be affected as some of the work could be too tricky to be brought home without proper equipment and tools.

I am grateful that my colleagues are understanding to be on board with working from home at this point of time.

Truly blessed that we have compassionate clients who care for our safety as well.
Let us all do our part during this MRO, in hopes that this will be over by end of the month.
Please remember all those frontliners, many who have to be away from family and loved ones during this period . #stayathome and #flattenthecurve

Finally a slice of burnt cheesecake!

Been down with a case of bad infections the whole of last week and I was so sad that I was rendered useless the whole week😭

While I tried my best to be in and out of studio organizing but still had to cancel quite a few appointments.
To those meetings/fittings I couldn't miss, I have to apologise if I was a little 'off' then.

It goes to remind me how much good health means, stay safe and healthy!

Took extra long lunch today catching up with Kelly @fabricfanatics.

I guess time really does fly;as we spent time reminiscing how we got to know each other about 10years ago during our bazaar days.
It was a nice time sharing how we are doing in our businesses now how it has changed over the last 10 years!
