Just here in Yunyuan, all the guests who came to congratulate were amazed by the splendor of the traditional wedding.

In the high-end apartment on the 18th floor of the Pierre Cardon Hotel, Keiko Matsumoto and her family were also intoxicated by their daughter's gorgeous mascot costume.

All Matsumoto Keiko's clothes today were made by Su Jin's father, the old tailor Su Shenzhen.

Although Lao Su is not famous now, he is a true sewing master secretly hidden.

Why do you say that?

Just because the Su family’s craftsmanship actually has a long history.

Most of the relatives and friends of the Su family only know that Su Shenzhen worked as a tailor for a period of time in the famous suit store Raymond Clothing Store in Beijing in the 1950s. Many people think that he learned his tailoring skills there.

But in fact, the ancestral sewing skills of the Su family originated from the imperial ban.

That's right, the Su family's ancestral home is Suzhou, Jiangnan, and they originally had ancestral needlework skills.

But to be honest, the Su family's craftsmanship is not very outstanding at this time. Among the tailor masters in Jiangnan, it can only be regarded as excellent, but not the top figure.

But the Su family was lucky, and it was a coincidence that their ancestors made several new clothes for the emperor when Qianlong went to Jiangnan. The emperor was very happy to meet him, and as a result, his craftsmanship was favored by the emperor.

Qianlong decreed that his ancestors be selected into the palace and brought back to the capital. Since then, the Su family has changed their household registration, and was forced to become a tailor in the clothing industry of Guangchu Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They had to move from the south of the Yangtze River to settle in the capital.

In this way, the Su family's needlework skills, which originally originated from the folk, were trained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and their vision, techniques, requirements, and standards increased simultaneously, and gradually established a foothold in the clothing industry of Guangchu Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Coupled with the carefulness of southerners, the elegance and refinement of their workmanship is not comparable to that of northern craftsmen.

So after several generations of hard work, the Su family gradually emerged and became more and more popular.

During the Cixi period, even when clothing production was at its most prosperous, with as many as two to three hundred clothing craftsmen, the Su family's craftsmanship was outstanding and became the favorite of the old Buddha.

Later, it was not until the Republic of China that the Su family was expelled from the palace because of Puyi and lived among the people.

But although the Su family no longer had official positions, their craftsmanship was still there. Su Shenzhen's father even married an embroiderer who also fled the palace.

The couple thus combined the splendor of "Gong Embroidery" and "Suzhou Embroidery" into one, and this was the foundation of their lives.

After that, not long after, with their exquisite craftsmanship that was far beyond the comparison of others, they still opened up a new world among the big houses, and were sought after and favored by the ladies and ladies of wealthy families.

He once again lived a prosperous and prosperous life.

At that time, the people who asked the Su family to make clothes were from wealthy families, because of their exquisite workmanship and high reputation.

In this way, Su Shen studied needlework with his parents since he was a child, and developed a good craftsmanship. The texture, color, and workmanship of the finished products he made in his prime even shocked his father.

He even knew how to keep pace with the times. Seeing the popularity of suits, he went to find a job in a western-style clothing store and learned to make Western-style dresses and skirts from a foreign master.

But it is a pity that after liberation, Su Shen needle had no use.

Because the new life abolishes the old and establishes the new, advocating frugality.

Whether it is traditional clothing or suits, they have gradually faded out of people's lives.

Even though Tailor Su had a pair of uncanny hands that could turn a piece of white cloth into colorful flowers, he never had the opportunity to use this method again.

So in desperation, in order for the whole family to have food to eat, Lao Su had no choice but to end his freelance career and go to the government to find a job.

After that, everyone knows his resume. Su Shenzhen first went to Raymond Suit, and then was transferred to the Queensland Theater Company to be responsible for helmet repair.

Until he fell ill and was unable to work due to nephritis, almost becoming a disabled person.

Therefore, the Su family has actually always been a famous fashion design house in Beijing, if we look at its origins.

It has absolutely historical roots, family roots, and social roots.

In terms of ability, Su Shenzhen is undoubtedly an expert among experts.

Not only is he well versed in Suzhou embroidery and Beijing embroidery techniques, but he is also proficient in formal wear, suits, Jifu, and cheongsam.

If he is an intellectual, then it must be said that he has learned both Chinese and Western knowledge.

If he is a person who studies cultural relics, he must be said to be a generalist who is proficient in various fields.

If he is a skilled craftsman, he is definitely a master craftsman with top artistic level.

Think about it, what would the clothes made by a tailor like this look like?

What's more, from a human perspective, Ning Weimin was kind to the Su family.

If Ning Weimin hadn't set up a sewing club in Meishi Street, Su Jin would have quit her pedicure job and have a career.

Not to mention that Su Shenzhen was able to take good care of his body, maybe the others would be gone now and they would have turned into smoke along the chimney of Babao Mountain.

Then why is he not careful and dedicated?

In fact, Su Shenzhen did live up to the skills he had learned throughout his life, and he was worthy of the kindness of the ancestors of the Su family and Ning Weimin.

Although it stands to reason that the normal production cycle of this traditional Jifu with embroidery work would take several months.

But it took him twenty days to start tailoring the clothes.

Not only is it fast, but the work is also precise.

The bright red seawater river cliff auspicious gown, the red satin phoenix wearing peony embroidered skirt, the tasseled Xia pei, and the embroidered shoes inlaid with gems were all made by Su Shen meticulously, and even incorporated the Western three-dimensional tailoring technique, making this look

The suit is more fitted, making you look slimmer and more graceful.

Even the graphic patterns on the auspicious clothes are embroidered stitch by stitch by Su Shen using the "flat gold seeding" embroidery method in Beijing embroidery.

This embroidery method is extraordinary because it uses real gold twisted threads to form patterns or seeds on them.

Very exquisite and luxurious.

So it is conceivable that with the abundant financial support of Ning Weimin and Su Shenzhen using all his skills and efforts to make this bridal auspicious suit, how beautiful it is.

Let's put it this way, if we look at it as a work of art, let alone wearing it, this set of clothes is amazing enough to hang.

If we talk about luxury goods, in France, it would cost at least one hundred Dior sets.

Even in the domestic clothing industry, it is equivalent to the status of Liu Yongqing's antique porcelain in the porcelain industry, and Jiang Sanchang's or Putao Chang's tableware in the tableware industry.

Really, without a doubt, a set of exquisite Chinese traditional clothing. It is a rare and beautiful oriental style retro clothing.

It not only respects the tradition, but also has some innovations.

To be honest, Yves Saint Laurent didn't see this thing.

Otherwise, he might be inspired again and come up with a series of luxurious Chinese-style clothing.

This is really not a lie, because you only need to look at the reaction of the bride's family to know it.

In fact, when this outfit was delivered the night before the wedding, Keiko Matsumoto's family liked it very much.

Although these clothes were so unfamiliar to her, Matsumoto Keiko couldn't wait to try on these costume-like outfits.

She specially found two full-length mirrors, increased the lights in the room, and turned around to look around.

Peonies wearing phoenixes, wealth and fertility, hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, melons and melons, all kinds of embroidery patterns are colorful and exquisite, making her happy and happy.

As for her parents, they all couldn't hide their expressions of leisurely and fascinated shock. They didn't expect that, unlike the holy "white white" of Japanese brides, such a hot and scorching red could be so beautiful.

And when their daughter puts it on, how can she tell that she is Japanese?

Complete, pure, an oriental goddess born in China.

It's like a figure that stepped out of a painting of a lady.

Extremely unreal.

But that’s nothing. If you have clothes, you must also have a crown, and the phoenix crown and hape are a set of things.

Xialei refers to the accessories worn, not the style of clothing, but something like a shawl.

The phoenix crown is the crown worn by the bride, and it also has the crown of a phoenix.

Only these two things together are the complete Chinese bride's auspicious dress, and they are also a symbol of the royal wife that the matchmaker is marrying.

Since ancient times, concubines have no right to wear this.

Therefore, it was inevitable that Ning Weimin had to order a set of phoenix crown head masks for Matsumoto Keiko.

However, when it comes to this thing, it is even more complicated than the bridal auspicious dress.

Although the styles of each dynasty are different, the only thing they have in common is complexity.

If you really look at the difficulty of the craftsmanship, you can pick one at random, and even if a professional does it, it won't be possible for two or three months.

But the good thing is that Ning Weimin has a wide range of contacts in the industrial art industry, and his business covers a wider range of areas.

The people he entrusts are all real experts, and his face is very valuable.

This job was originally done by the gold wire inlay factory, and this factory had just received a big job from him, worth three million yuan, to customize the pure gold "Taixu Illusion".

As a factory manager, even though I felt that this Fengguan job was too urgent, I neither dared to refuse it nor ignored it.

So after discussions with experienced senior technicians and master craftsmen in the factory, and full communication and discussion with Su Shenzhen, who was in charge of garment making.

In the end, they discussed together and came up with a sweet solution, that is, the bride's phoenix crown and harem should be in accordance with the Qing Dynasty standard.

Because that is the most simplified and improved version in history.

Like the Xialei in the Qing Dynasty, it has basically been simplified into something like a waistcoat, and the material is also stiff.

The bodice becomes wider, the left and right panels are merged, the back panel is added, there are patches on the chest, and the pendant is changed to tassels.
