One Dress a Week Challenge
January: Blue
House of Flying Daggers / Zhang Ziyi as Xiao Mei
Xiao Mei wears this gown for a dance performance in a wealthy house. She starts the scene in a luxurious-looking coat with a lovely floral design, but that comes off pretty quickly to show the light blue patterned silk dress with the deeper blue underskirt and sleeves.
I've always liked outfits that combine two shades of the same color. I also think the embrodery edging the collar, cuffs, and skirt slits is really beautiful. But of course, it's very hard to focus on details when those sleeves are flying!
Happy lunar new year!
