Hey mum,
If you are here means you are either looking to explore or buy occasion wear for an upcoming special day in the family. While, party wear dresses can range from a few dollars to a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars, saving some cash is every mum's hidden desire. Today, I am sharing some tips on how you can make every penny on your purchase count and even save a few good bucks.
- Go for custom made: Opt for a custom-made outfit for the bigger events in the life of your little ones. A tiny bit of preplanning could make securing your little one’s dream a stress-free experience. Evaluate your needs based on the likings of your little one, scale, venue, weather during the event and more. There are better chances of having that dream dress along with all customization requests only if you have an appropriate amount of time. Her favorite color and coordinated separate accessories can be made possible which finally helps you achieve the most impeccable dressing for your little ones. A key benefit which makes me always opt for custom made is the possibility of asking for extra seam allowances as it takes just a couple of minutes to open up an pre-existing extra seam line which is something completely impossible with ready to wear options. The life of the outfit can be extended thereby making that one-time cost worth the investment.
2. Repeat is not a bad word: Many celebrities including the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton and Hollywood star, Cate Blanchett are making a case for repetition of couture clothing claiming that “ it seems willful and ridiculous that such garments are not cherished and re-worn”. The gorgeous fabrics and innumerable hours of an artisan’s labor deserve to be worn again and treasured forever. Break free of the stereotypical thinking and unapologetically use your beloved couture outfits for your children yet another time. A totally new look can easily be created through different styling. This can help you avoid having to spend a fortune on a new dress or compromise on a cheaper alternative.
3.Invest in a beautiful design and quality: In recent times, the world has seen fast fashion purchasing occur at a rate which had never existed before in the history of fashion consumption. The only reason which encouraged such a movement was availability of products which were way cheaper than well-constructed high-quality equivalents. Many of us discarded our desire for good quality clothing because we could not resist the temptation of considerably low clothing prices. We soon started to join the bandwagon of fake materialism and affordable social show-off. Hop off the bandwagon and base your choices on the mantra of “Buy better, Buy less “. Invest in a beautiful bespoke quality outfit for your little ones and adopt the values of treasuring the best things in life rather than engaging in mindless consumption. It is not without a reason that the saying goes: “a thing of beauty is a joy forever”.
