Chinese wedding originated from Manchu costume, which was improved and named "He Xiu costume". He Xiu's clothes can be spread on the bed to form a very beautiful shape. Chinese-style He Xiu clothing embodies the femininity and nobility of Jiangnan women. In He Xiu's clothing, there are generally themes such as dragon and phoenix embroidery, birds and mandarin ducks. The words of dragon and phoenix symbolize good luck and happiness, Yuanyang represents loyalty and beauty of love, and birds symbolize beauty and ordinary freedom.

Chaozhou embroidery is often used in He Xiu clothing, which is a kind of plain embroidery. There are no protrusions on the surface, and various colors of embroidery lines make He Xiu's clothes look more exquisite. He Xiu's lapels are divided into two parts: front lapels (also called front lapels) and inclined lapels. The cuffs are wide to show the softness and kindness of the bride.

The difference between Ming wedding dress and He Xiu wedding dress

1, Ming wedding dresses and dresses are all styles with coats and skirts. The top of Ming-style wedding dresses is designed to close the waist, while the dress is generally wider. But now, in order to highlight the bride's figure, most of the improved He Xiu clothes are also designed to close the waist. Secondly, the overall shape of wedding dresses and He Xiuli dresses in Ming Dynasty is also different. Ming-style wedding dresses are mostly straight skirts, while dresses are horse-faced skirts, which can be spread out, but dragon and phoenix robes can't make beds.

2. The wedding dress in Ming Dynasty used cloth embroidery, which is a three-dimensional embroidery method. The surface of embroidery is convex, so it looks thicker and more textured. Most of He Xiu's clothes adopt tide embroidery, which is an embroidery method with flat stitches, no protrusions on the surface and various colors of embroidery lines, making He Xiu's clothes look more exquisite.

3. The main difference between a wedding dress and a formal dress is that the dragon and phoenix patterns are the main ones, supplemented by other patterns, to show the dignity of identity. He Xiu's clothes can be embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, or other patterns, such as peony, flowers, dragonflies, bats and other auspicious patterns.
