The approach is different now
It was not suitable at first
but later became suitable
It was during the Hong Kong
era Now in Zhongshan the
actions and
changes have become
more sexy more suitable
shorter So how
should I say it
Change and modernization are no
longer traditional
no longer real
I've been shouting for over forty years
These years I've been selling
Not custom-made
Before I was making custom orders
The style looks different at each age
Older people attend wedding banquets to drink alcohol and
socialize Young people are office workers who dress more formally
When I started wearing
Zhongshan suits it was very
traditional I think I started
when I was still
in school even
before that I was in the
store Of course it was for my family My mom making bubble
tea I have already done it
It's been almost
thirty years so for a woman
wanting
to start
a new bubble to start
over they would ask
what is it for For a
wedding dress A date
Or for the evening
FormalCasual
So with this information
I will first make a pattern
then I will proceed further
I will show them the color chart
then we will talk about the clothes
Then we will do the next step which is the
adjustment of the
accessories then
we will do the
reference of the accessories the third step is then
trying
it on we can
make some changes here and there finally of
course completing the brand
Our button loops are made by us cutting
the fabric edges ourselves the red
edges are more prominent she noticed
immediately it has
that bubble-like feel
A technique I really
like is to make it more
modern I will cut it on
the edges this will
make it more modern so this technique is actually
the same pattern the
fabric will be cut on the
Some edge
Some angle
Wearing it this way
The fabric on the edge will follow the body
The fabric will be improved a bit
According to local Taiwan and America
It should be comfortable to wear Best if it doesn't need ironing
And not hot
Improved with a pocket
They put the phone again
Convenient now
There were no phones to buy before
Now there are phones
Finding fabric is a
bit difficult I
am currently using cotton chiffon some of
which are the kind
worn by the Dique Liang
before denim and for
the past few years
According to many local
customers they
gave me some
feedback about
the lower
style which has changed a
lot with a slit a hem
and also a sun dress and
a princess
dress The lower
part has many changes
Sometimes I have a mini collection based
on Indonesian fabrics
based on my impression
of Indonesia or I go
to buy from Dibba Dick
from Dibba Dick Street
or Dibba Dick Street
This culture we are
trying to help our
new generation they
have traveled
I think
Dibadik is a way to help them our
culture our
history our
past our
future the
problem is
Is Diablocat
going to
be lost or
preserved It is indeed we need
Diablocat to survive
