Formal wear

Posted on June 8th, 2003 by Sacha Chua

Our measurements for dresses for Ching's wedding were taken today. I flipped through the magazines and books there, but didn't really find anything interesting. I'm playing around with the idea of a Chinese or Japanese-inspired formal gown. If I go for Chinese, it will probably be a cheong-sam or a two-piece set of sleeveless blouse and pants. If I go for Japanese, I want a sleeveless wrap blouse, a long, straight skirt, and an obi belt. I've been Googling for the past half-hour, but I haven't found good examples of it yet - might have to Gimp up one on my own! =)
