My Wedding Qi Pao
After about a month my qipao is finally here. It looked better than I thought. The pattern I had chosen not only has dragon and phoenix embroidered on to it, but also have copper coin, fan, pair of fish and some other ones that I don’t recognized. It’s really colour full with the gold, orange, blue and purple thread. I didn’t get a chance to snap a picture with me in the dress but it fits perfectly. Now I just need to find a pair of shoes and figure out what to do with my hair. Any suggestions? I would love to find shoes that I can wear again.
Here’s the store information again in case you missed it last time. I got my qipao at:

Wow! The Qi Pao looks amazing!!
I will also be wearing a Qi Pao during the tea ceremony and I will change into my wedding dress at the ceremony site. I don’t want my fiance to see me in the wedding dress until the ceremony… he he… :p
We will be visiting Hong Kong in October and my mom will bring me to China to get a tailor-made one… she knows this really good tailor… amazing skills… and also you have so many different fabrics to choose from! 
Really looking forward to it…
Yes I’ve heard that a lot of people get tailor-made qi pao from China. I also read that some people get their bridemaids’ dress made there also since it’s pretty cheap. I’d love to see what yours look like!
Hi Claudia! Yes most of the stuff is done. I’m super ahead of time. Going to spend the next months or so making the invitation cards. I hope you’re doing well. Come visit in winter for some snowboarding fun too!
