What traditional outfits did you/will you wear to your wedding?

I'll be wearing a modern take on a Chinese cheongsam/qi pao (I never did distinguish the difference between the two). I'm getting it custom made with hot pink/fuschia satin and silver stitching. Here's a picture of a dress that is similar to the color I want (picture is from Wedding Bee of another bride).

I also put a modern spin on the traditional Cheongsam/Chinese dress.  I gave the dress a slightly mermaid shape and instead of the traditional high neck, I gave it a U shaped neckline.  I had my dress custom made in Shanghai (thanks to a friend's aunt!)

Jamie - your outfit is SO beautiful! I love how it shows off your curves w/o being too revealing.

MissYou - You looked STUNNING in all your khmer outfits! I bet you felt like you were in your very own fashion show!

Agnes ... I seriously have the most boyish figure and somehow that dress managed to give me some sort of waist!  If I could, I totally would've added a sash to the chinese dress to help define it more.  That's why I was insistent on having a sash on my white dress.

Thony ... did you have all of those outfits custom made?  I love them all ... so beautiful!  And your 1st chinese dress is quite sexy with the slit! ;)

kaytana - lol, I believe it's the same thing, but maybe I'm wrong?  Googling didn't seem to help, heheh...  I always thought  "cheongsam" is the cantonese word and "qipao" is the mandarin word for it.

This is mine!

No Pics here, but I love all your pretty attire!

Jamie - I can totally relate with the boyish/no waist figure issues. You definitely can't tell with either of your gowns though.

MissYou - Seriously, you had your own fashion show. So cool!
