Chinese Cheongsam

 

The above are the snapshots of Ceongsam dress which I've bought for myself from Guangzhou. All girls in my family including sisters, sister-in-law and my mother has got one dress for each of them as souvenir. So, that's more or less of what I've bought ^_^ Look at its embroidery, it's gorgeous isn't it?

This purple dress is the alteration job I've got yesterday and it's done. It's from my old classmate's mom. She asked me to trim the initial bottom part off and turn it into just a top. So, this is the end product.

 

Cheongsam Dress

I attended a teaching workshop this morning on drama and acting. And now somehow I couldn't switch it to sewing mode, my brain just resist to switch : ( So, I'll just show you what I've been completed with in the week. It was a long pending sewing project after many sewn, ripped, sewn and ripped. Finally... da..da... a piece of Chinese traditional ceongsam with modern touch. It's my size of M/L in 100% cotton fabric, oh, my favorite.


I've added a set of chinese button right on the collar. I couldn't think of any other color besides light purple tape for the bias.

This piece of ceongsam indeed was a detailed careful handmade, and that makes me couldn't resist to put it on me, but it would be better that I only wear it on special occasion... unless if I manage to make a few more pieces, that's another story ; )
Hope you have a wonderful weekend...
