The client was clear about not having a white gown for her wedding. Unlike most Chinese parents, black was not discouraged, ironically they were adamant on having a bit of Chinese festivity in the bridal cheongsam gown.
Torn between the cool goth style the bride was after, and the festive element required by the parents, we wove the two together, and even threw in the number one Chinese-auspicious colour—Gold.
The frothiness of the shimmering black tulle skirt balances the tight fitting sexy red brocade bodice, furthermore, the tulle overlay at the empire level creates a more slimming illusion. Finally the whole gown is literally pulled together with the criss-cross shimmering gold waist band.
To complement the body-con gown is a tailored minimalist cut angular texturized mandarin collar jacket for covering the bride in her wedding cheongsam both in and out of the wedding venue, and to match her casual apparel thereafter.
