Description Had the inspiration to draw since I have friends who were having traditional Chinese wedding dinners using the 1920s Shanghai theme.

Took me 3 days to complete this and I actually had fun drawing all the patterns on her cheongsam.

0.7 mechanical pencil
White paper.

I love this, I've never seen 1920's garb from another culture than the USA so this is really cool! I think her hair has to be my favorite part, well other than the dress of course! I would never have the patience to do a pattern like that

Thank you so much!! I love the 1920s Shanghai era - it's a mixture of Western - Eastern culture!

At first I thought that I wouldn't have the patience to draw all the patterns, but who knew that I would have fun doing them!

That's always the best sort of tedious work, when it turns out being enjoyable! I feel like I have to learn more about the 1920s shanghai era, the style seems so beautiful!
