OPEL

.
No.
I'm not going to write about the car Opel.

It's a fabric.
:)

It's hardly seen nowadays. I didn't see anybody wearing Opel material for  Aidilfitri this year. Chiffon, cotton, lace, crepe, batik are those on top of the list.

It was a different situation six to seven years ago. (at least to me. not sure about others)
I even had Opel for my wedding hantaran and it became my first Eid dress after becoming a wife.

 (Eid 2007. Amboi kurus nampak!! pffttfffppt)

Even my mom really loved Opel earlier than that years. I still remember she bought for myself, herself and my two sisters the same design of Opel fabric but in different colors.

She told me that; "Glemer kain ni Yong. Ada satu kedai je kat Bahau ni ha jual. Puas mama cari". Hahaahahaha. Yeah we did feel the glamorous. 

But mama forgot to tell that this type of material cannot be washed  using the washing machine. Her eldest daughter was super hardworking washed all the bajus after raya in it.  It's too late already. Mama was pissed off and she told me, "Pegi open house besok, kamu dengan adik-adik pakai je la baju ni balik. Tak kira. Takde la mama nak buat baju baru de".

So when the office of my dad host the Open House that year,  we went with an enhancement of Opel material we called it 'Opel Berbulu'. 

T_T.  

:)

I still have now an Opel dress 'Kebarung' in my collection and today I'm wearing it to the office. It really triggers the nostalgia of celebrating Eid few years ago when i was still not married, and during my first year as a wife.

 Today :)

Who still has an Opel today in their dress collection? hands up please.
