Traditionally, a Qun Kwa consists of two parts: a jacket a skirt. This exquisite wedding attire, typically worn by brides from Hong Kong and Southern parts of Asia, features hand-embroidered symbols such as dragons, phoenixes, pomegranates, lucky clouds, bats, peonies and grapes.
The dragon and phoenix embroideries are padded and three-dimensional, adding rich texture and depth to the garment. Due to the deep cultural significance of these symbols, it is generally not recommended to fully customize the embroidery.
