    Questions about Wedding Gowns @ Tutuban

    Hi Everyone,

    Im new here hehe..Anyways, my tita is trying to convince me to have my wedding gown made at Tutuban...my questions are:

    • are they really that great?! since I live in Canada and I can't see the gown until my wedding day..is it worth the risk?

    and if anyone can recommend a wedding gown designer fr Tutuban please let me know

    Salamat po !

    Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk if you don't personally know anyone na you can trust. Sa akin lang ha, it's better if you get someone na may pangalan na pag ganyan case mo na sa kasal mo na mismo makikita. Kase may pangalan sila pinapangalagaan. But that's just me.

    If you're considering to get your wedding gowns in Tutuban, HUWAG kayong magkakamaling magpatahi sa Motif and Styles Boutique. R-08 Cluster B-2 @nd Floor Tutuban Mall owned by Mayette Bustamante.

    Sobrang perwisyo at sakit ng ulo ang binigay niya. Laging late sa meetings, late as in one and a half hours late or more. Madami siyang excuse na minsan hindi ka na makapaniwala... maiisip mo nalang na napakamalas naman niya. (Karma siguro kung totoo man yun). Magaling at pleasant siyang kausap but she cannot deliver. The quality ng dresses she makes ay hindi talaga maganda. Unti unting nalalaglag yung mga beads at lahat ng gowns, baluktot mga tahi. nilalagyan ng corset na hindi naman magaling gawin ng mananahi niya. She knows na may sewer siya na palpak tapos dun pa rin niya pinapagawa. Hindi niya namomonitor ang pag tahi at pagrerepair ng mga damit so pagdating sa second, third fittings wala pa ring nangyari sa mga maling tahi. Hanggang sa last minute wala ka ng choice but to get the gowns coz malapit na ang event mo.

    Sa daming pressure that you will experience in preparing your event you dont need a supplier like her na magdadagdag pa ng sakit ng ulo niyo.

    ang bad experience pa sa kanya ,,, she got all the payment knowing that she still owes one gown with a promise that she will deliver it before the event. Sa daming text and calls na ginawa, ni isa hindi niya sinagot hanggang we ended up buying a ready made gown na kasi kulang na sa oras magpatahi. She never contacted to apologize or anything nor the effort to refund the money she got.

    Bad siya talaga... magkakakunchaba sila ng kanyang husband andmga bantay niya sa shop. Magingat nalang kayo.

    i second the motion gummybear888... hayy...

    Beware talaga sa mga magpapatahi ng gown sa divisoria.. I had the same situation.. My wedding was last june 2010.. At sobra ang stress na inabot ko kay Mayette Bustamante of Motif and Styles Botique.

    grabe ang nangyari sa kin.. my wedding was last june.. nameet ko si mayette feb 2010.. nagustuhan ko kasi yung gown sa shop niya, chika chika, mabait siya okei kausap nung una.. nalaman ko pa na kababayan ko siya so sabi ko kay hubby okei siya.. nakailang ikot kame sa divisoria before kame nagdecide na sa knya na kame patahi ng gown ko.. march 2010 we decided na patahi na para wala na kong maging problema [textspeak!] sa entourage na lang.. tpos nag prisinta siya na siya na lang gawa ng entou since [textspeak!] design ko daw for entou eh mahirap gawin baka daw di magawa ng iba.. sabi ko para wala na din ako ibang kausap sige na nga.. nagkasundo na din kame sa prices...

    after ng sukat, sabi niya 1st week of april yung 1st fitting.. so okei na.. buong april di ko siya nakausap kasi nalaman ko na preggy ako.. so sabi ko sa knya iibahin ko na lang yung design and style ng gown.. hindi niya ko sinagot sa tawag ko and sa mga text.. so all the while i thought na hindi niya tinuloy yung pagtahi sa gown.. come 1st week of May, nagreply.. she said sorry kasi daw na food poison daw sya nasa hospital etc... so i asked her, kelan puedeng masukatan ako ulit para ipa iba nga ang gown.. then she told me, wag na daw ibahin kasi natahi na daw niya, sabi ko bakit di niya ko ni inform.. hinyaan ko na lang.. sabi ko need ko ma fit kasi nga feeling ko lumaki na ko since preggy..

    come the 1st fitting day, dapat pupuntahan namin siya sa shop niya sa sta. mesa since malapit sa area namin and nahihirapan ako bumalik divi because of my situation. then nagtapos [textspeak!] usapan namin na sa trinoma kame mag meet. 6pm ang usapan, i made sure it to her na 6pm kasi may commitment din kame ni hubby after.. okei daw, darating daw siya.. 5:30pm nasa trinoma na kame with my bridesmaids.. i texted her, di sumasagot... 6:30 tinawagan ko nasa divi pa daw may client pa daw.. asked ko kung what time siya alis, di daw siya sure.. sabi ko sige wag na lang, i cancel na lang namin.. aalis na daw siya sa tutuban pakihintay na lang daw.. (ako ang kumo contact sa knya, never sya tumawag) to cut the story short, 9:30pm siya nakarating ng trinoma... imagine nagsasarado na yung mga shops... si hubby ko na lang ang kumausap sa knya na bwisit na bwisit nga ako kasi buntis ako, tpos may kausap din kame na ibang supplier tpos hinintay namin siya.. ni sorry wala kame narinig sa knya.. hayyyy....

    lupit niya makipag usap pag about sa time.. never siya tumama.. pag sinabi niyang 3pm darating yan 7 or 8.. mabuti pa yung bading na assistant niya, on time at mas maayos pang kausap kesa kanya, apologetic pa kesa sa kanya..

    tpos nung pick up na ng gown, it was supposed to be june 10.. june 9 tintxt ko sya, asking kung what time ko puedeng makuha yung gown.. after 8 sms ni isang reply wala... tinatawagan ko laging cant be reached... ang ginawa ko pinatxt ko sa coordinator namin, aba himala, nireply niya.. ang sabi daw walang narereceive na text messages from me... ibang klase phone niya namimili ng makakareceive ng text...

    pagdating ng pick up, di ko na naisa isa yung sa entou kasi nilagay na sa paper bags, at naka stapler pa.. so dahil sa tiwala ko sa knya, at ayoko ng mabwisit inuwi na namin.. pagdating sa bahay, nung icheck ko yung gowns ng entou, may mga hindi pa tahi, may mga kulang pa walang beads, hindi maayos etc... ayoko ng mabwisit pero naubos niya yungpasensya ko.. tinawagan ko na siya... ako pa ang pinagtataasan ng boses.. kaya daw maagang binigay para daw kung mali yung gawa maayos.. ang sabi ko sa knya, sana inaayos na niya ng maayos na maayos para hindi na ibalik kasi effort at hassle pa para sa customer niya.. pinakausap ko na lang sa mother in law ko, aba himala, ang bait niya, at siya pa ang nag offer na pick up lahat ng may kulang na gowns sa bahay..

    yung gown ko 5x ko binalik sa knya, kasi lahat ng pinaayos ko nung mga unang fitting di niya naayos...

    maganda yung mga gawa niya.. pero mas maganda sana kung before niya ibinigay eh ayus na ayus na para wala ng maging problema pa.. at mas okei sana and marerecommend siya kung maayos siyang kausap lalo na sa TIME...



    just a friendly reminder : make sure na kung makikipag negotiate kayo sa knya, sabihan niyo na siya about sa TIME and make all your revisions documented para hindi na kayo magpabalik balik, at kelangan kung pick up niyo yung mga pinagawa niyo sa knya, make sure na busisiin muna niyo bago kayo umalis sa shop niya.. at mabilis siya pagdating sa pera kelangan bayad agad..

    ilovebam ....sorry just read your reply to my post.

    grabe after reading what you have written exactly the same thing ang ginawa niya sa akin. super! makikipag meet ka sa kanya hindi lang 30 mins late .... at least 2 hours late sya. she has all kinds of excuses ... kesyo na accidente asawa niya, nagkasakit anak niya, nhimatay siya. nasiraan ng sasakyan ang anak niya. hindi na ako makapaniwala sa dami ng excuses niya... naiisip ko nalang napakamalas naman ng taong ito. im sure she is making up all her excuses ...

    yung gown din nilagay lang niya lahat sa bag and bos sa final delivery. wh had no time to check it na kasi it was so late already when she arrived. pag open namin ng mga gowns hindi naadjust yung dapat ayusin, baluktot mga laylayan. bat may mga stains tung gowns. eh sabi niya ipapadry clean niya bago niya ibigay. i doubt it kung talagang oinadry clean nya yun.

    i want to report her already sa admin tutuban. hindi na siya pwedeng mangbiktima ng ibang clients and sobrang perwisyo ang ginagawa niya.

    pareho sila ng asawa niya na magkakakunchaba sa mga excuses and lies nila. im sure even yung mga bantay niya na si vicky at yung bading alam ang mga kapalpakan niya. they just keep mum about it. vicky even said may may mananahi siyang palpak ...so bakit nandyan pa yung woreer na yun to make her gowns if she knows na palpak yun.?

    tapos pinagmamayabang pa niya na ang mananahi niya galing kay pepsi herrera? hello! ...baka mga rejects ni pepsi herrera yung kinuha niya.

    hindi siya pwede sa ganitong business ... youi cant trust her at all and her work.

    i called and texted her so many times to tell her about the gowns she delivered more that 50x. she never replied. pinuntahan siya ng friend ko sa shop she said nasunugan or nanakawan daw sila sa bahay and she lost her fone. imagine that. sobra naman talagang malas niya ano? then she changed her cell number. nairita na siguro sa calls and texts ko na hindi niya sinasagot.

    naku! warning talaga ... dont ever get mayette bustamante kung ayaw niyong sumakit ulo niyo..for any occasion.

    i learned my lesson from this na better check the shops na may nakikita kang people who are making the gowns. yung kay mayette kasi display lang ng gowns. wala kang nakikitang mga taong gumagawa dun. hindi mo talaga alam kung talagang maruning siya. lahat ng gown niya nilalagyan ng parang girdle sa loob. na hindi naman kelangan.


    i believe in karma.

    DON'T GET MAYETTE BUSTAMANTE (Motif and Style) FOR YOUR WEDDING GOWN!

    Huli na nung nabasa ko ang blogs about Mayette Bustamante (Motif and Style cluster mall 2nd floor tutuban)..actually hinahanap ko lang ang contact details nya sa google (if in case meron) kc 1 week before my wedding, hindi na sya ngpapakita smen.
    We contacted her last October (wedding is February) ngpakita lang sya 2x..in short 2x lang nakapagFit ang entourage!
    She CANCELS FITTING DATE, She's ALWAYS LATE (as in mga 5 hours late) minsan wala pa sya, pinapadala lang yung gowns sa asawa nya.
    3 Days before the wedding, hindi ko pa din nakikita yung wedding gown!
    hindi ko na macontact si Mayette and kahit yung asawa nya.

    KUNG AYAW NYO MASTRESS SA WEDDING GOWNS NYO.,PLEASE DONT GET HER!
    WALA SYANG KWENTA, HINDI MARUNONG MAKIPAG-USAP SA TAO.

    I'm posting this blog to help other future customers of Mayette Bustamante. Please think a 100 times before you get her. She's pleasant sa umpisa, pero after that she turns into a monster!, & ghost (kc hindi nyo na sya maccontact)

    mcblog .... so sad to read that you were one of her "victims". Kelangang mawala na siya sa wedding gown business bago pa siya makabiktima ng bagong client. i bet marami pa tayong nabiktima niya. Pang padagdag lang siya sa stress ng mga bride. She is a person na punong puno ng kasinungalingan...magaling gumawa ng palusot na pati pamilya niya sinasama sa mga excuses niya for being late and not showing up with your meetings...nahospital, ninakawan, nasiraan ng sasakyan, nasunugan ano pa ba? Minsan mapapaisip ka ...napamalas naman niya ... every week ibat iba ang nangyarari sa kanya....maniniwala ka pa ba? KARMA works wonders! baka mangyari talaga yan sayo Mayette! YUng asawa niya, pati yung mga alipores niya kasabwat sa mga kasinungalingan. si vicky at yung bading... ewan ko ba kung bakit they're still there working for her. style niya yung last minute na idedeliver yung mga gowns na gabing gabi na para hindi mo na macheck yung mga gowns isa isa at lalayas na siya with your payment. you'll have a hard time hearing from her if you have any complaints about the gowns she just delivered. i dont even think that she dry cleans the gowns because ang dumi pa rin nung gown and hindi naman amoy na nalabhan. she is the WORST and you really dont need all the stress she will give you when you are planning your wedding.
