    Here's a pic of my Chinese dress that I'm wearing at the end of the reception.  I am half Chinese, and at first I didn't really think I wanted to get the Chinese dress.  I was imagining the usual ones with the short sleeves and the slit up the side (sorry if anyone has that kind, but I find it hot and I don't like showing my leg).  But my Chinese aunts convinced me to go take a look to see if I liked any of them.  And I was surprised that there are tons of different styles.  I found one that didn't have sleeves and it was MERMAID!!! I loved it!!! 

    Here's a pic of me in it at the seamstress.  She has to let it out a little that's why it looks too tight! lol

    I love it! The cut looks great on you. I sometimes regret not having worn a Chinese dress for at least part of the reception. I'm not Chinese, but my husband is. Granted almost none of his family were there, but still. I'm glad you decided to try them on.
