Qun belonging to Sin Mee Kuen

This qun was worn by Sin Mee Kuen, a mandarin teacher at Nan Hua Girls' School, at family Chinese New Year gatherings. Her daughter subsequently wore this qun kua for her son's wedding.The kua is the abbreviated name for the qun kua (裙褂) or long feng gua (龍鳳褂), an ensemble consisting of a blouse and skirt which is worn by a bride in traditional Southern Chinese weddings. Many Southern Chinese migrated to Southeast Asia, and hence the qun kua is often used by ethnically Chinese brides in Singapore and Malaysia. In this qun kua, the kua (blouse) is black and is embroidered with auspicious phoenix motifs. These motifs reappear on the qun (skirt), which is red.
