Published "Illustrated Traditional Chinese Costumes"
Haha, it's another moment of eating melons in celebrity wedding costumes, people with different opinions are welcome to hold back, I just want to say what I want to say. That is - the "money" for this wedding, very "new"!
Where did the skirt go?
As we all know, the traditional Chinese wedding dress in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao is a skirt, but the bride of this wedding, He Chaolian, as a representative of the Greater Bay Area, wore a modified cheongsam, while Dou Xiao, who was born in Xi'an and grew up in Canada, wore an improved gown. Moreover, these two clothes, at a glance, come from two stores, and they have never matched each other's color cards, although they are all refined photos, but they still can't hide the two stores' efforts to lower the matching index between the couple.

He Chaolian's cheongsam is also "new" and bolder than the cheongsam used in ordinary weddings, with a cutout design at the waist that can be seen at the angle of the front, and also on the back. After all, this is an improved cheongsam, and it is okay to design anything, not to mention that it only shows the waist and back, which is really insignificant compared to most dresses.

But I still have to point out a problem in terms of perception, such a design is indeed fashionable and novel, but the sense of solemnity and formality is also reduced. In particular, the robe on the man's body that matches it does not need to be colored or cut, and the style is conservative and dull.

There is a group photo of He Chaolian, Dou Xiao and Chen Wanzhen (gambling king Stanley Ho's "third aunt"). From the perspective of dressing, Dou Xiao and Chen Wanzhen are more like hosts, and He Chaolian seems to be a guest at the event, because her cheongsam design lacks the momentum that a bride should have at her wedding.

This is not what I think alone, some netizens also see it this way, but the "explanation" of other netizens is full of mistakes:

In line with traditional customs, He Chaolian should wear the "gown" on Chen Wanzhen's body. The so-called gown emperor, Guangdong and other places for the dragon and phoenix gown / skirt embroidery density of a kind of artificial division, of which the "gown emperor" is the most delicate and complicated, almost does not show the red of the fabric itself, and the north of Guangdong Although people north of Guangdong have also begun to wear skirts in recent years (generally designed after design changes), but generally prefer to see the red and the price is close to the people's Wufu, or directly the magic change of Xiuhe clothing.

And Chen Wanzhen, as the elder of the newcomer, used to wear skirts, but generally a more old-school black gown and red dress. In the wedding photos of "Four Rooms" He Chaoying, "Fourth Aunt" Liang Anqi is also wearing a gown, but there is an older woman behind her wearing this black gown and red dress.

Although the robe on Dou Xiao's body was designed, the prototype was used in Chinese wedding dresses with skirts, which were also matched when some celebrities in the Greater Bay Area got married before. This is also why Chen Wanzhen and Dou Xiao look more like a "couple" in the group photo, because their clothing is originally echoing.

No, modern weddings are generally the default, and the most solemnly dressed woman is the bride.
The last two daughter's weddings of "three rooms" and "four rooms" seem to have similar strange scenes, that is, the bride is not wearing a skirt, but "mother" does. I really want to gossip about where the "third aunt" and "fourth aunt" gown emperor came from, not that they can't afford it, but they are not gambling kings "married" into the door, there should be no gown emperor prepared for their wedding, and it seems that these two styles are similar, making it seem like a group purchase and customized.

This kind of inverted dress is not uncommon for today's more personal weddings. But for the Greater Bay Area, where traditional inertia is still very large, it is a bit strange for the "old money" that emphasizes inheritance.
Judging from the group photo, Dou Xiao's mother's clothing is the most comfortable for me (I feel that every time the star takes a group photo, a mother will stand out), not overly noisy, nor tacky.
The cheongsam design is so strange!
Some of the brands used in the wedding have basically been exposed, and those who understand the brand can measure it themselves. As for "He Chaolian's wedding dress [Phoenix Feather Lotus Step], private order from designer brand Nora Reve", I really haven't heard of this brand, and after looking at the past content of Guan Bofa, it seems that it is also a dress for domestic entertainment stars, which immediately reminds me of "Guan Xiaotong's blue and white porcelain dress: why is it 2023, and the designer is blowing when working!? 》。
How to say it? The mistakes that everyone loves to make are really similar, maybe these Weibo clothing designers, in addition to having a stable exposure customer base, also have a stable rollover area. For example, they all like to package their designs with embroidery that is not embroidered by the designer himself, but the designers have exposed a lack of knowledge of traditional embroidery.
Chen Caini's gift to Guan Xiaotong is Hangzhou embroidery, Hangzhou embroidery is known as "court Hangzhou embroidery", locals are also called "gold and silver embroidery", it can be seen that the gorgeous style of using gold and silver thread is its specialty area.

As a result, Chen Caini asked the family to make something similar to three-blue embroidery, and the focus was not on three-blue embroidery. When publicizing, it is not clear to distinguish between Su embroidery and Hangzhou embroidery, which makes people worry.
Nora Reve did write Su embroidery on the official blog, but they were making Su embroidery gold and silver embroidery. Su Xiu's specialty area is a fine and elegant, flat and symmetrical partial calligraphy and painting style, which can be wrapped for Hang Xiu this time.

That's right, after staggering the specialty area, the embroidery will not be done, after all, it is all money, and the embroiderer earns hard money. But you designers are going to hang out these embroidery names to put gold on yourself, trouble long snacks!
Maggie Ma, who claims to be a designer on Xiaohongshu, said that he is "applying the traditional gold embroidery of the emperor to the short bolero", you have found out the keywords, can you not find Cantonese embroidery? I really don't understand your melon selling routine.

The designer feels that he has never seen a formal skirt, and he has not even seen high-definition detail pictures. At present, the king of the gown that can be handed, which is not to make the pattern embossed three-dimensional, and use different gold and silver threads with different colors of nail lines, so that the overall effect seems to be full of light.
The designer also contributed another hot spot, the "family heirloom" sewn at the hem of the cheongsam. Anyone who knows a little about ancient clothing can recognize that this should be a pendant, but there are almost no positive photos, so it is difficult to judge the specific pattern. The question is, the "family heirloom" of He Chaolian's family, isn't that Stanley Ho's family? What is the origin of the He family, those who desperately advocate "family heirlooms" have not studied modern history well, and their daughters can't get He Chaolian's turn in a bunch of them. Then if it is Chen Wanzhen's family, I can't see that there can be a Xia Wanxian life!
But the most interesting thing is the designer, she said, "when designing, Chaolian also hopes to put her 'family heirloom' on the cheongsam". But I only saw that the "family heirloom" was abruptly nailed to the hem of the cheongsam almost at the lowest point, and the design of the cheongsam itself and the design of the embroidery pattern did not echo this He Chaolian's request. If it weren't for the "family heirloom", at first everyone would not have noticed that there was an extra small thing in the hem.
Good news, the designer added as requested, bad news, added and did not seem to add.

Good news, the designer went to check the information, bad news, it seems that nothing was checked.

Regardless of anything else, a group of people rushed up and said that the wedding showed "pouring wealth" and "grandeur", and I really didn't see these clothes (of course, there must be a lot of money than me). Whether you like it or not, the skirt is a kind of wedding dress that has been tested by the local people to show off wealth!

He Chaoqiong's wedding with Xu Jinheng in 1991 also had Chinese and Western dresses, and the Chinese style wore a gown emperor (He Chaoqiong grew up in my aesthetics).

The suit idea is very tricky...
Although Dou Xiao's suit is not in our regular field, it is too weird to discuss it with friends, so let's talk about it briefly.
This dress is also from a brand that has not been heard of, and it is also mainly used to make clothes for domestic entertainment stars to increase exposure and open the market.

The propaganda caliber says that it is like a knight, but I personally feel like Witt, and it is even more like it when taking a group photo.

Seeing the photos of the people turned out, compared with the old photos, sorry, more similar!

This dress looks like a tuxedo without a tail, but it is actually a tuxedo without a tail. The origin of its invention is the colonial solution to the problem of dresses in hot areas, although I don't know, after all, I don't see how cool it is. But this kind of Western-style dress in the corner is definitely not mainstream enough aesthetically and not popular enough, why choose this to design is also very incomprehensible. (But I looked at it later, in fact, Dou Xiao is a Canadian, and it seems that he can't measure people with the world that Chinese people have seen)
Mainly this tailless metz dress, I looked through the old photos and felt that it was difficult to make a good look. The previous pants fit and wearing method are different from the current one, the waist is raised relatively high, creating a feeling that the legs are all below the chest, and the feeling is barely accepted, but with the logic of the current trousers, even this advantage is gone.

And I can't understand this, everyone help me read and understand. I really can't stand that you guys don't agree with each other, it's "Internal Entertainment First X"... Isn't this a wedding dress, this is not how many details I can't see, for fear that everyone will not know. With so many specific markings, how else do others wear them?

Or do you mean that this so-called "internal entertainment wedding first wear" refers to... Has anyone worn this tailless Mach dress yet? Then I have to doubt your motivation for design, not for aesthetics, nor for customers, but to deliberately be different from others and make a "internal entertainment first X"?
Moreover, I searched casually, and I saw on the Little Red Book that this wedding dress was not unique. You can't always be an amateur who is not a person, and the order is only internal entertainment. Mainly, judging from the photos, Xiaohongshu is much more comfortable. Looking at the text, such as adding names, which kindergartens will have the behavior of name embroidery stickers, this little red book also said how to make the Meth dress more coordinated and comfortable.

Compare the shape of Dou Xiao's piece, do you feel that the proportions seem a little tricky...

If you want to show yourself in the framework of Western dresses, you should use your brains according to the rules, or don't stick those to your face (nowadays, there are not too many celebrities who wear Korean suits to get married). Or the wedding of He Chaoqiong and Xu Jinheng in 1991, Xu's dress is very good.

What wealthy, what old money, what wealth, at least have to roll out this level, melons eat to have taste. Although we are richer than us anyway, we are more serious about eating melons than others.
By the way, those who substitute themselves as "three-room" or "four-room" roles, and have to compete with several hot searches and noodles on the opposite side, are not necessary.
