$$$ MORE RENTALS $$$

August 1st, 2006 @ 1:26 pm by Mrs. Spider

Instead of the more popular Qi Pao:

I am going to be wearing a Kwan Qua during the tea ceremony:

A family friend is securing a super fancy one for me from Hong Kong. I also wanted my mom and Mr. Spider’s mom to wear Kwan Quas, but our family friend expressed some reluctance in having to secure 3 dresses. So my mom found some rentals from Highlight Studios. The one she likes, unfortunately, is a small and both she and Mr. Spider’s mom are mediums. So Carol, the owner, said she would have two brand new mediums sent over from Hong Kong. The rentals are $180 each. Again, I totally feel like I am getting SPANKED by this place.

I took a picture of the dress to show Mr. Spider’s mom (I don’t actually have the skirt on, I’m just holding it in place):

i have a kwan qua that i’m wearing for the wedding too!! an aunty’s friend is loaning it to me. apparently it’s a very chinese thing to loan it to other people so they don’t mind loaning it to me. i think if i had to rent one for $180, i’d be quite annoyed!!

that is a lovely color and design…

Great to see you’re going the traditional route but ouch! $180?! You’re going to be bling-blinging wearing gold jewelry with the qua.
