since my daughter's a tad smaller in size than most babies her age, searching for a cheongsam (or any clothing other than the usual boring onesies) was a daunting task. after weeks of scouting for a suitable cny outfit for her, i gave up and went fabric shopping instead. first, i made me a ghastly red outfit. failed. she hated the ghastly red. then i made a black outfit. failed. who the hell wears black on cny?!? i eventually got to a gaudy blue fabric with embossed gold baroque-esque patterns on it, bought on impulse, obviously. just as i was about to make the third outfit a disaster, the papa came to the rescue by flipping the fabric over to its gorgeous lilac back. i managed to dig out a matching rich lilac fabric for the bodice of the dress in my pile of remnants. and tadah, the daughter is dressed for the ocassion!
happy chinese new year to all our chinky readers!
