Embroidered flowers.

Please don't ask me where i got my embroidered cheongsam from. Cause i purchased it from an online store in 2013 after CNY as it was on sale. Yeah, i'm that kiasu. Hahaha. Who buys their CNY clothes 1 year ago right... Me lor. This is def my fav cheongsam ever. I received so many compliments on it. Hehe.

If my memory served me correctly, the beautifully embroidered cheongsam shld be from loveandbravery.com

I wrecked my brains for a few days trying to recall where i purchased this dress from. So it should be from that online store. They have beautiful dresses. Mostly for work though.

The floral prints look like some kickass painting & the best part is u can re wear it again for a date, or over dinner with friends! It does not look too traditional which is not a bad thing cause then u could wear it again instead of wearing it once a year which would be a waste of money.
