Saturday afternoon was spent at Red Corner gym (best to go on weekends because there are lesser people) and visiting the Modista By Elle Showroom in Banawe, QC.  It was a late lunch at 430pm and CW decided to eat at Adobo Republic.  Adobo, after all, is his favorite Filipino dish.

On the Table:

Chicken adobo cooked in coconut cream, meal includes rice, red egg, vegetables, juice, and ice cream.

Adobo Diablo PHP 120

Hot and spicy pork with adobo rice and red egg

Sizzling Beef Kaldereta PHP 100

A small portion of the spicy tomato based beef dish served on a sizzling plate

“It’s not the right size!” is the common fashion dilemma of Pinays since our sizes are usually categorized as only small, medium or large.  Can you imagine the number of sizes in between small and medium or between medium and large?  That’s why it’s so much easier to buy international labels as they have specific sizes that fit your actual frame.  Sizes vary from 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and so on…  To make things worse, sometimes local labels only have one available size –the free size!!!

Tube tops shouldn’t be exposing half of your breasts.  You shouldn’t need to wear an inner blouse to cover the really low neckline of your dress.  One shouldn’t keep folding the cuff of his pants because it’s just too long.  In fashion, there shouldn’t be such a thing as one size fits all.  Clothes should be made to fit your body.  Modista By Elle is the one answer that fits all size problems.

 Modista By Elle Client Guide (4 easy breezy steps!) 

1. Select a style from their collection

Their current collection is divided into five distinctive designs: New Jersey, Vanity Blueprints, Blocks Unprinted, Checked Republic and Work and Play.

1. Select a fabric
2. Get your measurements
3. A style made to fit.  Once it’s done, you can pick it up from their store location or have it shipped.

Now you can choose your favorite style, have it done on the fabric of your choice and something that fits you like a glove –if that’s the fit you want. 

They offer free shipment nationwide for a minimum purchase of PHP1500.  Definitely frees us ladies on the go from the hassle of going to the location or the payment of additional shipping fees.  Sweet!

I totally love their chic designs.  I’m itching to go to their store and check out their other pieces.  I hope they are open on May 1!
