Traditional Chinese Dress

I adore traditional Chinese dress, I remember Mao’s era, when all we had were grey and soldier green uniforms, I loved to sneak into my mum’s only Chinese dress left from her youth and giggle in secret and mischief.

This is nice to see - made of a satin type material?

I was too nervous to be defected. I guess it is a kind of silk.

Beautiful dress, and did you notice her shoes? My mother keeps wanting me to wear a cheongsam but the high neck doesn't suit me at all.

Such a gorgeous dress and a lovely candid too.

[Yao RL]

@alicias you would prefer high heel?

Lovely street shot - the dress is very pretty.

@dakotaburns @janetoner You are right, People do mind, but mobile phone made her completely unaware what I was doing.

Yes the dresses are so beautiful and so are the Chinese womens figures. I saw some people walking down the street in the pajamas that was banned during the Olympics. I was given some satin like this from a friend that was in China and made a lovely jacket.

@pam1 Beautiful materials,especially for you who loves fabric.

She is very pretty- as is her dress. I also enjoy the combination of tradition (her dress) and modern (her shoes and phone!). This is a perfect picture of how I perceive China- a blend of both ancient and modern.
