This ceremonial cheongsam was designed by renowned Hong Kong fashion designer Barney Cheng. The asymmetrical shoulder design leaves the right shoulder bare but the left shoulder covered by a cap. The tulle overlay of the satin cheongsam is embellished with sequins and black floral laces, producing a dazzling overall effect.
