4 "Pina Cloth"

By Mariela Mae Adonis 

Most girls in the world starting dream about their wedding at the age of 7, yes 7 because that’s the age where me, my friends, and my cousins start dreaming about our wedding. We dream about our dream man, the place where our wedding will happen and mostly our wedding gown. Now I want to share you my experience about this, about finding the perfect wedding dress. I’m not the bride, just so you know, but I am the cousin’s bride.

So my cousin is really busy preparing for her wedding and their very hectic because in just two months the wedding will already happen. Her wedding comes unexpectedly, it supposed to happen this year, 2014, but they change the date, from December 2014 to June 2014. Because we just find out that my cousin is pregnant and her due date is on December. What’s good about their wedding is that everything is already arrange, the church, the reception, and dresses of the guests and the groom. But the only thing that is not ready yet is my cousin’s wedding dress, so she asked me if I know someone who makes a wedding dress. Luckily, I have a friend who makes wedding dresses, and these are not just simple wedding dresses but a very special wedding dresses because they are made of pina cloth.

So I refer them to my friend, and immediately they arrange a date to meet with him. Then on the day we came to my friend’s boutique, she is really stunned because the wedding dresses that are made of pina cloth are very beautiful and well-made. She doesn’t know what dress she will choose because there is so much dress to choose from. So my friend met with us, my friend and his team is from Negros. They have two branches, one from Negros and one here in Manila (I will not mention his name or his boutique’s name because he doesn’t like being in an article or being interviewed.) So my cousin asked my friend if what dress will suit her because she doesn’t really know what to choose, but my friend said that he will just make my cousin a dress instead of choosing one on his boutique.

At first, my cousin is very hesitant because she doesn't know if it will arrived or be done before her
wedding comes, but my friend assure to them that the wedding dress will be ready in just a month. So my cousin said yes then my friend get her measurement. Then after a month the wedding dress is already done. We are really amaze and stunned because the dress is really beautiful, every single inch of the wedding dress is well-made and it fits really well to my cousin. And on the day of her wedding everyone is really amaze not just because of how wedding is arrange but also because of the wedding dress, it adds more beauty to her. So the ceremony starts and ends. And this is one of the events that my cousin will never forget.

We really thanked my friend because he really makes her dream wedding dress come true. So the pina cloth is a very special cloth, you will never find them anywhere; you will only find pina cloth in Negros. And I totally recommend pina cloth from Negros everywhere, and I also recommend not just my friend but all tailor of pina cloth because they make a very special cloth into a very special dress.
