  • With Helen's upcoming wedding and Lunar New Year just around the corner, qipaos have been at the top of our minds. While we've all worn qipaos growing up, we've struggled to find qipaos designed with the modern woman in mind. This is where East Meets Dress fits in! Started by Asian American women who wanted to find the perfect qipao for their special day, East Meets Dress offers Chinese wedding dresses without compromising quality or style. Follow along as we unbox six dresses to see if we can find the perfect one for Helen's special day!

    In Singapore, “door games” is called “gate crashing” and the groom with his groomsmen have to play games that usually require them to eat weirdly mixed food, dance, etc and they have to give angbaos with cash to pass each stage in order to meet the bride.

    I am Chinese Canadian and in my 20s and have been cheongsams/ qipaos for the last 10 years. Some of my favorites are like the psychedelic vintage ones that I find when online vintage piece hunting. I have a curvier body because I'm half french, so now I am trying to learn how to make them myself as having the perfect fit is key. But I would highly recommend that anyone can start collecting them! Some of my favorite pieces were $40 CAD that I got from etsy and just had to make some minor adjustments. I wear them casually with leather jackets and also for special occasions! GIRLS ITS TIME TO START COLLECTING.

    All the dresses were lovely. Thank you for sharing your unboxing and dress-up. I've checked out the site for the wedding dress too, because I've always remembered there's another traditional wedding dress besides the qipao line: the qun kua (most of my friends wore these).
    Anyway, I actually like the more traditional choice Helen has chosen. The ones Mel and Janet had decided are were definitely gorgeous but the traditional one is just as gorgeous.

    Red Marilyn! I prefer deeper reds like that. Love the cut from neck & shoulder, very traditional. But the silhouette from waist down with that slit makes it modern. The minimal but perfectly placed embroidery is just enough as an accent to the dress. It's the best one!

    These dresses looked great on Helen! So glad that she is able to share the Chinese culture of tea ceremonies with others. I recently had my Chinese tea ceremony too and it was very special to have the two families join together like the girls mention :)
    Just my 2 cents for those who are looking into buying qipaos through East Meets Dress.
    Unfortunately, I didn't have the most positive experience with them. They charge at least $75 to try on only 3 dresses, so Helen was lucky to get sent so many dresses. Their sample dresses to try on were also not diverse in sizes and fits more of the petite/small sizes. I ultimately chose not to buy from them due to the high price and fit ): I'm more of a size 6-8, tall, and curvy so I wished their sample sizes were more open to other sizes.
