Ah Keow in Liberty London's Harvest Time
$399.00 SGD
This is the 2nd gen of Ah Keow Swing Dress. We have replaced the side zipper and snap buttons with a concealed back zipper. As you probably would've known, this style of dress is named after my own popo (grandmother). Growing up, I've seen many pictures of her in cheongsams and sam fus and that's how I was first introduced to this article of clothing with so much culture and history behind it.
Fabric is 100% cotton, Liberty London's Tana Lawn imported from Italy.
Ah Keow v 2.0 has a half circle skirt like the first and comes with TWO hidden pockets this time round (more space for those red packets (ang paos or red enveloped with cold hard cash inside given by married women and men to younger, unmarried family members, relatives and friends' babies)!
Do note that this dress was photographed with 50s style tulle slip to show the fullness of the skirt and does not come with the tulle slip.
