With superb fabric and exquisite embellishment, this wedding dress adopted a glossy fabric with patterns of flowers on branches done with splitting stitches on the red satin of sleeves. Motifs by padded applique and gold couching embroidery, along with chain-stitched loops with three as a group, can be seen on the bottom of front and rear panels. The traditional technique of “three stitches backwards” was applied in the cuffs and bottom of panels, making the garment more visually-appealing while preventing the edges from fraying.
