Well…it’s actually not a Chinese wedding dress, at least not a traditional wedding dress but a Western one, although worn by a Chinese bride. Lovely, by the way, both the bride and the dress
In the 1920s, Shanghai was known as the Paris of the Far East. All of the wealthy families wore Western fashion. This couple is impeccable.
Hi Laurie
I didn’t know that – I wondered how common it would have been for Chinese couples to wear western-style wedding clothes. That explains it, thanks!
