From Shanghai to Taipei~ Bridesmaid

Given very short notice via msn, Sara, honored bridesmaid to-be, flew back to taipei a day earlier to hang out & pay a visit to the bridal studio for bridesmaid dress picking! We met up at Shilin Night market, and began eating once Sara shouted out " woo, I want this!" while we passed by each store.

With very Limited bridesmaid dress selection, we've narrowed down our selection, but the final pick will be made on 2/20~!

Typical white bridesmaid gown, that made Sara feel like a bride...
Dress-picking always turns out to be longer than expected!~ time to head home now~
