    Description

    Up for sale is one vintage 1940's Chinese traditional wedding black robe and red skirt set, qun-gua, qwa, kua. "Raised" embroidered dragons, phoenixes and flowers are all over the black robe and skirt set. Made in China. It has been in smoke-free and pet-free storage for a long time. I am looking for someone who can put it to good use. This is a great dress set for collectors who are interested in Asian textiles and clothings. This is also great for Chinese weddings and major Chinese family celebratory occasions. Feel free to email me your questions.
