You can see the care and attention that went into its creation. The fine embroidery is truly exquisite. The pleated skirt looks as if it's sprinkled with stardust. Their smiling faces, holding red umbrellas and musical instruments, are so captivating—they look like a picture come to life.
Beautiful photos!!
Stunning Kieron!!! 😍 😍 😍
So much time and effort - but the cloth is so beautiful in the end! I hope some of the young women learn the process, it would be a shame to lose it. Lovely people, too - the outfits are stunning, even beyond the liangbu.
This is beautiful and thank you for the informative description.
Some things, when you hear something of the process... You just can't imagine the chain of thought that would have led to the ultimate discovery Had never heard of this before, thank you

They look like twins! Lovely photos, Kieron!
K, these are all beautiful portraits!👏It never ceases to amaze me: the endless variety of cultural styles, ways of dress, life; as well as the extraordinary lengths to wh/they go to create their attire, often using natural sources (though 1 made me cringe🫢-hypocrisy on my pt as I’m no vegan).
