The Second Dress
TINA
“I don’t know… I think the ruffles on the shoulder’s too much.”
I said, looking at my own reflection on the mirror. White has never been my color. If someone raids my closet, he or she would only find a pair of white garments. Reason is, I look too pale when I wear it.
Gavin Rodriguez, the Gown House’s owner assisted me himself. When he heard about the engagement and the intended date of the wedding, he contacted the company and volunteered himself to dress me. Jiego, knowing this would be convenient for both of us, confirmed immediately. I was ecstatic. Why wouldn’t I be? He’s one of the leading gown designers in the country and he’s making my dress!
“Can I show you some of my top pics from the shop?” – Gavin offered, placing both his hands on either of my shoulders, looking at my eyes through the mirror reflection
I nodded. Perhaps an expert eye is what I need.
