Here are some more information for Dress Cheong:
Your daughter's wedding is announced. She has butterflies in her stomach and one thousand and one things to do. Her "butterflies" become yours and your thoughts are racing just like hers. You, as her mother, will help her plan her dream wedding, just like your mother planned yours. At the back of your mind...
"What am I going to wear? Will I look just as beautiful as my daughter on her wedding day? So many people are going to be looking at me as well..."
Fret no more. Here are the RULES but like all rules, they may be broken or should I say improvised and revised to suit you. I say whatever makes you and/or your daughter happy!
1. Confer with your daughter. She will come up with a color scheme for her wedding.
2. Ask her whether she wants the color of your dress to complement her wedding color/colors or almost match it. Examples of complementary colors to a red color theme is burgundy, wine, claret red, dark pink, and purple. As for a "match", it would certainly be difficult to have an exact match of the colors, as your dress will be of a different manufacturer, style, fabric, and dye. So, do not stress over this.
3. You, as the mother of the bride, will decide on a color or colors, after consulting your daughter. Suggest to her to be flexible on the choice of colors--perhaps two or three choices would be great. Mother of the bride dresses are not made like bridesmaid dresses, the latter being preordered and tailored months ahead of time for the occasion. Shopping for a mother of the bride dress can be a headache and nightmare rolled into one, especially for the plus size woman or if you live in a rural city.
4. Do not forget to involve the mother of the groom. After you have an idea of what color you would or should be wearing, inform her. She will definitely appreciate that as she will be in a panic mode as well, going through the same motions as you will soon be, looking for that perfect "mother's" dress.
5. Shop as soon as you can. Finding YOUR dress is important too. Understand that you are shopping for a specific style that you like and look great in, a specific color, and then a specific size. Then, you will need to allow sufficient time for professional tailoring of the dress, to get it to fit just right! Also, what about the accessories like shoes and jewelry? You will be surprised how many ladies come to my online store, hoping to find THE dress one week to just a few days before the wedding.
6. Shop bridal or department stores first. You can get a first hand look at the styles out there and the type and quality of fabrics. Do not ignore online formal wear stores. Visiting an online store is easy and stress free as they are a source of great ideas of what you would like to wear on that special day.
7. Take care of yourself in these nerve-wrecking times of preparation. Remember, you need to look good as well, although it is your daughter's wedding.
8. Now, sit back and relax. You have found your most perfect mother of the bride dress and have a few more weeks to spare. Give yourself a big pat on the back!

Cheung Sam - Qipao: Kids’ Chinese Dresses for Formal Elegance or Fun

In old historical China, during the Qing Dynasty, Manchu women wore qi pao that are long and covered a girl totally, revealing only the head, hands and tips of the feet. By 1900, after the end of the Qing Dynasty, the tailored, form-fitting qi pao was worn and popularized by socialites and high-class courtesans. As fashion expanded, so did the designs for the Cheung Sam - Qi Pao. Today, the Cheung Sam may come in a variety of modern designs, but is still as flattering as ever.

What does it mean when someone answers with “哪里哪里” when you comment them on something?
What do they mean when someone answers with “哪里哪里” (na li, na li) when you comment them positively? I went to my grandparents house for a gathering with my family and relatives. My cousin wore a really pretty cheong-sam dress and I thought she looked sweet with it so I commented that she was a beautiful as an angel wearing that dress. She answered me with the phrase “哪里哪里” . What does that supposed to mean? (“哪里哪里” )
It is a polite reply to a compliment. People in China don`t say "thank you" when they take a compliment. This would be rather arrogant and unfriendly.
哪里哪里in this case means:"No, that`s not true"
For example: A说〉你今天打扮得那么漂亮
B 回答〉哪里哪里 (B feels flattered, but doesn`t want to admit that he agrees)
BIG ON BEAUTIFUL
IT WAS a fashion show to celebrate local plus-sized women.
