A wedding gown of Miao bride is made in five stages.
The first is that of selecting fabrics and a dress maker, buying embroidery needles and threads and tailoring the cloth [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
The second is deciding a pattern, which gives Miao women the chance to display their creative aesthetic skills.
The third, and most laborious stage is the embroidery itself [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], which broadly consists of flat and relief stitches, and plaited crape and patch print works. A wedding gown thus constitutes a work of embroidered art.
The fourth stage is hemming; the fifth making the lining.
It generally takes a young Miao woman a year to embroider her wedding gown in the spare time that she has. It is thus her life's art work.
