The Jacinda cheongsam (qipao) is designed for the bride who wants timeless elegance with a touch of modern allure for her tea ceremony or reception.
Crafted in a vibrant red satin, this gown features a structured mandarin halter neckline that gathers into a stand collar at the nape, then opens into a graceful diamond-shaped cutout at the back, offering a flirtatious glimpse of skin while keeping the silhouette refined and elegant.
The fitted bodycon shape skims the body in a sleek column silhouette, while asymmetric 3D hand-embroidered floral vines - worked in rich burgundy, ivory, and olive thread. The gown trails across the bodice and down toward the waist, finished with delicate beaded accents for added shimmer and dimension.
Unlike gowns with a longer train, this style is cut to the floor with a clean hem, making it an easy-to-move-in choice for brides who want to dance the night away without sacrificing the gown's romantic, heirloom feel.
This dress is named after Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand's youngest female Prime Minister in over 150 years when she took office in 2017 at age 37. She gained international recognition for her empathetic leadership during the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings and the COVID-19 pandemic, and was only the second elected head of government in modern history to give birth while in office.
