Esther alerted us on her
blog post on a wedding in which she was a MC - wearing Mazzario's
Bareback Silk Brocade Cheongsam.
She has masterfully paired it with a simple rose patterned earrings that are simple yet echoes the red undertone of the green silk brocade. Her choice of
gold shoes also helps to visually elongate her legs. Thanks for sharing both your style and a wonderful day of your life with us Esther!
The Cheongsam featured is a crane print on black washable silk dual use mini. It is now on sale at $52.Mazzario helps you look fresh while overcoming the recession bite. Dress well and perk up! It's a brand new year ahead!
On the other hand, many of our regulars prefer spending the same amount on less quantity but higher quality. Stay tuned for our recommendations after the Chinese New Year.
So there are 20 over prints for each washable silk design. Customers have been getting 4-5 each, but how do you choose from the variety? Let us help you with our first installment of Staff's Choice
Rozita's pick - black roses on white - " Simple & nice."
Sarah's pick - red roses on black -" Very retro, all customers look really nice in it."
Many of you have asked.
" What shoes do I wear with a cheongsam?"
It really doesn't matter so much whether it is close or open-toe, pointy or round. It is more important to match the style and colour. And most of all the shoes should match your feet and personality.
On the right is an obviously wrong example.
Left of left: Gold & Silver Glitter Platform Sandals
Adds miles to legs, perfect with mini cheongsams. The colour combination of gold & silver is a definite classic, goes well with warm or cool tone cheongsams.
Right of left: Gold & Black Sequined Corsage Sandals
The addition of black makes the pair of sandals a darker shade of gold. Feet appears fairer and cleaner. The pop up effect of the corsage also draws attention away from toes that are less than perfect.
Get regular foot scrub and mask regularly before your event. Finish off with a nail colour.
For a stunning cheongsam with complicated design or print, do a subtle nude or french pedi. For a sleek and simple cheongsam, try a red. Matching the tone to your dress, or you can even try a neon pink for a casual look.
Have trouble keeping your low bareback cheongsams in place? or even if it is, you just aren't used to baring so much.
Try either the Hollywood Fashion Tape or masking tape ( yes the one from art supply store) which one of our customers -- a beauty industry insider -- swears by.
For Halter ( or very cut-in cheongsams ), place the tape the the armhole, with the bust dart as centre, and secure to your skin while your body bends 45 degree.
For bareback, in addition to the above, also tape on either sides of the centre back zip, standing in an upright position.
Jump around a bit ( silly but that's a trade-off for security ) to make sure the cheongsam does not shift around. If it does, start again.
Many of you have purchased our popular reversible scarf to go with our cheongsams. Even after our 10 minutes of live demo, we still receive feedbacks on not remembering the available styles.
At Mazzario @ Centrepoint, we would show you 3 to 5 ways. But as we played around with it, we discovered more! And we are sharing with you here the many more ways of wearing it. Send us an email or write on our Facebook Page to tell us your new discoveries!
Our cheongsams comes in many shapes and sizes, but none more popular than our bareback halter minis. We heard a bride's mom suggesting the daughter wears our mini with skin coloured stockings to disguise the blemishes on her long but pale legs.
