THE Huqiu–NO.1 SIGHT OF SUZHOU

  With a history of more than 2,500 years, the Huqiu has been known as No. 1 Sight of Suzhou. It is a must for tourists. The great Song literary man Su Dongpo said, “It would be a pity if you had been to Suzhou but didn’t get to visit the Huqiu.” As a showcase of Suzhou and one of the first ten exemplary civilized tourist attractions of China, it receives over 1,500,000 Chinese and foreign tourists every year, and has taken over the lead in the tourism industry of Suzhou for ten years running.
  According to the Historical Records, the Wu King Helu was buried on the hill, called then “the Hill Emerging from the Sea”. The legend goes that three days after his burial a white tiger appeared squatting on the hill. Hence the name. In spite of the face that it has an elevation of over 30 m. and covers about 49.41ac., the Huqiu boasts impressive rocks, deep dales, 3 matchless scenes, 9 suitable occasions for enjoyment, 18 scenic spots, and changing scenery at all times. No wonder it has been an awe-inspiring sight in the area south of the Lower Yangtze. The Yunyan Temple Pagoda and the Sword Pool are most famous on the hill. With a history going back more than 1,000 years, the simple, archaic and imposing Yunyan Temple Pagoda, also known as the Second Leaning Tower on earth, stands aloft at the top of the hill, serving as a symbol of ancient Suzhou for years, The Tomb of the Wu King Helu under the Sword Pool has remained an unsolved mystery for two and a half millennia. The story goes that the great Jin master Wang Xizhi traded his calligraphy for lovable geese from the Taoist Abbot. And the windy vale and cloudy spring make the visitor reluctant to leave.
Located on the western hill-side and with the pagoda scene as its backdrop, the attractive Mountain Villa with 10,000 Scenes has a collection of the finest specimens of the Suzhou style bonsai. The luxuriant vegetation at the back of the hill, constituting a peculiar climatic zone, has now become the paradise of winged fowls. In the autumnal twilight, thousands of herons wheeling in the air round the pagoda make a tremendous spectacle.
  The Huqiu is also an important meeting-place for the populace at Suzhou. There used to be 3 fairs and 3 festivals held here every year in olden times. Today the Huqiu sees Spring Flower Show and Autumn Temple Fair, two special events a year, becoming a favorite tourist-site. At Spring Flower Show paeonia suffruticosa, tulipa gesneriana, rhododendron simsii & r.spp., lilium spp. and a good number of valuable species of flowers are displayed in competition for beauty. Autumn Temple Fair is the re-creation of the popular Temple Fair of Shantang with a mixture of northern and southern Chinese cultural performances and a strong regional flavor.
  Making historic events and landscapes, cultural heritage and natural scenery into one whole, the picturesque Huqiu possesses unique charms and is a rare cultural gem of mankind.

wedding dresses

 

Full Skirt or Ballerina dress
Perfect fit
If you have a slim-hipped figure and a full bust, the Full Skirt shape will balance top and bottom perfectly, giving you that “fairytale bride” look. This style or Princess are generally thought of as the most romantic shapes.

What to avoid
Avoid the Full Skirt if you are not full busted, as it will make your bust look smaller. If you are petite, avoid this option because you will disappear into the dress! If you have wide hips, avoid the Full Skirt because it will over emphasize them.

Empire Line dress
Perfect fit
This is another fairytale look. Starting the waistline beneath the bust works well for smaller busts, and the long line makes petite brides look taller. For the ultimate romantic style, this one won’t let you down. The Empire line with an A-line skirt will also do a marvellous job at concealing wider hips. An Empire Line with a column skirt adds height and balances a smaller bust.

What to avoid
The long line makes tall brides look taller. If you have a marvellous figure and want to show it off, a figure-hugging dress might be preferable, but it is difficult to find too much wrong with the Princess style, which is probably why it is so popular.

A-Line or Princess Line dress
Perfect fit
This is a fitted bodice shape with an A-line skirt. It hugs the waist, so it flatters slim waistlines while making the most of the bust. If you have wider hips, the A-Line will cover them up effectively

What to avoid
If you have a fuller figure, you may choose not to have a dress which hugs the form quite so closely. The tighter bodice will tend to draw attention to a smaller bust.

Bias Cut dress
Perfect fit
If you are slim and want to look very chic, the bias cut is for you. This is the dress for the bride with the perfect figure. The bias cut flatters tall girls, but is also complimentary for a petite figure. The cloth of the bias cut is diagonal, giving a different fit to the Column, described below.

What to avoid
A bias-cut dress hugs the hips, so if you are fuller in the hip, avoid this style. It will show off a perfect curvy figure, but if there are curves where you don’t want them, they’ll show too!

Two-Piece dress
Perfect fit
A Two-Piece dress, as in this picture, should normally be indistinguishable from a complete dress, i.e. the corset and skirt shouldn’t part company at the waist. A better fit can be achieved with separates, especially if you are not stock size. If you would like to show a bare midriff, this will look better if it is well-toned.

Separates help break up lines if you use two different colours or patterns, which is ideal for tall brides who want to look shorter. A corset works well at tapering the bodice in to the waist, and is effective if you want to emphasize your bust.

What to avoid
Separates tend to emphasize the hips because of the corseting, while a gap draws attention to the waistline, so if these are not your best features, separates may not be for you.

Asymmetric dress
Perfect fit
The asymmetric design is an unusual look which on the right figure can be particularly striking. Beautiful shoulders and arms will look their best in this style, while the flaring skirt is good for hiding fuller hips.

What to avoid
Beautiful asymmetric strap designs will distract from square shoulders, but there is a danger that bringing the eye to the unusual diagonal look will emphasize the shoulders too.

Column dress
Perfect fit
Like the bias cut but with a straight weft and vertical seams, the Column dress hugs the figure and looks great on tall, willowy women. This is the one to give you that catwalk look! The unbroken line will also work well for a more petite figure

wedding dresses style guide for you

Posted by admin - December 13th, 2008

What to avoid
The Column shape sits quite close to the body, so if you have fuller hips, this will tend to emphasize them.

Shape Styles Sleeve Styles Neckline Styles Stylomatic|lt; Long or Three-Quarter Sleeves
Perfect fit
Use long sleeves to draw attention to your upper body, for example if you have fuller hips. Long sleeves will also conceal larger arms, and cover square shoulders. A pretty design will distract the eye from any imperfections. Long sleeves will also save you from getting goose bumps if you have a winter wedding.

What to avoid
If you have well-toned arms, flaunt them! It would be a shame to cover them up with long sleeves, however pretty the material might be. Don’t use long sleeves if you have a petite figure, because they will make your arms look longer and out of scale with the rest of you.

Short sleeves Perfect fit
Use wedding dress short sleeves to show off well-toned arms. They will help balance small shoulders, too. Short sleeves help break up the line, so if you are tall, short sleeves together with a suitable dress shape will make you look shorter.

What to avoid
Keep larger arms covered up by choosing a wedding dress with long sleeves, preferably with a looser fit. If you have broad shoulders, this style will emphasize them.

Spaghetti Straps|lt; Perfect fit
Show off well-toned arms and beautiful shoulders and neck by choosing spaghetti straps. These have a young and modern look and are very attractive on the right girl.
so, you can choose a wedding dress with capsleeves

What to avoid
Use a strapless bra with spaghetti straps so that there are no distractions. Keep angular shoulders or large arms covered up. Spaghetti straps also emphasize the neck, so be sure it looks good if you choose them. You can also use a necklace effectively to compliment the straps.

Shape Styles Sleeve Styles Neckline Styles Stylomatic|lt; Strapless Neckline|lt; Perfect fit
This is a particularly elegant look if you have a long neck, good shoulders and well-toned arms. A strapless dress is a fine opportunity for beautiful jewellery. Strapless looks good with a medium bust.

What to avoid
Don’t leave everything uncovered unless it looks great - there are plenty of other styles to hide shorter necks, square shoulders or full arms. If you have a very full bust, strapless is unlikely to be able to give you the support you will need throughout the day.

Halter Neckline|lt; Perfect fit
Halterneck tops expose beautiful shoulders and well-toned arms, while the continuity of line makes you look taller if you are petite. The halterneck top echoes the lower half of the dress, so if you have slim hips the halterneck will be an excellent counterpoint. There are many different variations on the halterneck style; collar with straps, single strap wrapping round the back of the neck, covered or exposed V to the bust. A halterneck style can also hide that little underarm “pouch” that we are sometimes prone to!

What to avoid
A halterneck top may over-emphasize your upper body if you have a larger bust, though it will provide good support. It will also emphasize your hips in counterpoint - so if you have larger hips, avoid this style.

Boat or Bateau Neckline|lt; Perfect fit
The wide-necked shape of the Boat or Bateau style follows the line of the collarbone, so if you have well-defined collarbones and a beautiful neck, the Boat design will show them off to best effect. Boat is also good for narrow shoulders. This style was made popular by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

What to avoid
If your neck is not your best feature, the Boat may not show you in best light. If your shoulders are broad, keep away from Boat as it will draw attention to them. If your bust is large, the Boat neckline will make it look bigger.

V Neckline|lt; Perfect fit
The V-Line style plunges to the bust and is particularly complimentary if you have a larger bust and would like a little cleavage. The angle of the V-Line varies and may be on or off the shoulder, so expose beautiful shoulders but cover them up if they are angular.

What to avoid
Avoid the V-line if you are small busted, as it will tend to draw attention to this.

Sweetheart Neckline|lt; Perfect fit
This is a pretty and romantic neckline, forming a natural heart shape and giving you a sweet and innocent look. It also works with larger busts as a sexier style, showing a hint of cleavage.

What to avoid
The Sweetheart style exposes a central panel of neck, so if this is not your best feature, you may want to look at alternatives such as a halterneck. Alternatively, a Sweetheart can lend you the romantic look you seek, with a pretty item of jewellery as an accessory to improve the look of your neck.

How to Choose Your Wedding Dresses

Posted by admin - December 13th, 2008

Most women consider their wedding gowns the most important dress they will ever own. With all the styles available it can be a difficult choice. There are some important aspects to take into consideration when choosing your wedding dress
Things You’ll Need:
Bridal Magazines
Your Wedding Dress
Step1 :   Decide what is most important to you: Do you want to look as beautiful as possible or do you want to wear the wedding dress that you’ve been dreaming about all of your life even if it does not flatter your body type? This decision is easy for those women who are tall and thin or average size. Almost any style will look great on them. If you happen to be undersized or over-sized, certain dresses will look better on you than others and will detract from the areas that you want to conceal while emphasizing your good features.
Step2 :  Look through several bridal magazines to see what the current styles are and if they would be right for you. If you see something that really catches your eye, save the picture to take with you when visiting bridal shops.
Step3 :  Go to a few bridal shops and try on dresses. It’s important to take some people with you. They can give you their opinions on how you look in the gowns. Usually you would go with your mother, sisters, and maid of honor. They will give you an honest opinion and greatly help in your decision making. Don’t buy a gown on the first visit. Sometimes sales people try to push you into purchasing a certain gown by telling you that it might be gone the next day. Don’t be pressured. Don’t worry if the gown you want isn’t at one shop, it will be at the next one. Take your time and you’ll make better choices.
Step4:  Don’t discount the discounts! You may think the best gown is the most expensive one but that isn’t always true. There are certain bridal shops that have huge sales, selling gowns for as low as $99. Some of these gown are as beautiful as the more expensive ones. At least look through them. You may find the dress of your dreams.
Step5:   Find a neighborhood seamstress and ask if she can make a wedding gowns. Go through bridal magazines with her and point out the features that you love most on certain dresses. An experienced dressmaker will have no problem taking the neckline from one, the sleeves from another, and the bodice from a third, to put together your unique design.
