The gold silk dress for Dominique arrived today. She tried it on and it is beautiful. I will have to take it in a couple of inches at the waist in back but otherwise it fits perfectly. The bottom part swirls around just as she wanted it to. It was a good idea to make the lining stop at the knees so that the bottom would move more fluidly.

Now I have an important question. I have a feeling ...

Nationalism Suit - Zhongshan Zhuang
[MTZ-2001]
US$188.99

Sun Yat-sen (Sun Zhongshan) (1866-1925) led the revolution to overthrow the last feudal Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and became the Provisional President of the new Chinese Republic proclaimed in 1911. He is respected as "Father of the Nation" and is also credited with the modernisation of Chinese men's dress. It is said that he instructed Huang Longsheng, a Western-style tailor from Zhejiang Province, to design a suit based on one commonly worn by Chinese men in Japan and south-east Asia. The early form of Sun Yat-sen suit (Qilingwenzhuang) had a closed stand collar and centre-front buttons. The design of the Sun Yat-sen suit changed significantly over the course of some 50 years.

A major and lasting change to the design of the Sun Yat-sen suit (Zhongshan Zhuang) was the incorporation of elements of German military dress including a turndown collar and four symmetrically placed pockets. Over time small stylistic changes were made to the design. It is the later style of Sun Yat-sen suit which was further modified and adopted as China's national dress by Mao Zedong after 1949.

Long after Sun Yat-sen's death, popular mythology assigned a revolutionary and patriotic significance to the Sun Yat-sen suit, even though it was essentially a foreign-style garment. The four pockets were said to represent the Four Cardinal Principles cited in the classic Book of Changes and understood by the Chinese as fundamental principles of conduct:
- Propriety (禮)
- Justice (義)
- Honesty (廉)
- Shame (恥)

The five centre-front buttons were said to represent the five powers of the constitution of the Republic (五權分立) and the three cuff-buttons to symbolise the Three Principles of the People (三民主義):
- Nationalism (民族)
- Democracy (民權)
- People's Livelihood (民生)

Our suit follows the original Sun Yat Sen essence with the jacket of stand-up collar, fitting cut style, four pockets, decorated with three buttons at both sleeves and is handmade by skillful craftsmanship of quality wool fabric.
