Chinese New Year
Mom's Wedding reception dress worn in 1977

Bracelet: c/o Swarovski
On Sunday, February 10, we will welcome the year of the Snake! Last year one of my readers, Shirley asked if she'd see me in a Qipao, traditional Chinese Dress. Generally speaking, a Qipao is custom tailored to your measurements, you select the fabric, length, trimmings, and so forth. And, in our culture the most common events to wear a Qipao to is your wedding reception or New Year. In 1977, when my parents got married, this was the Qipao my Mom had custom made. Traditional top, with a modern skirt silhouette, absolutely her style!
