It is a princess phoenix crown--it has two bobins only.  This style head piece and dress are mirroring Ming dynasty formal wear.

thread_title: Not Qing dynasty dress; it is Ming dynasty

message: I shortened the bit about the Taiwanese wedding and reorganized the information.  This section is specifically for wedding dresses, and I felt that the wedding banquet information while interesting, belonged in the wedding reception section.  I attempted to arrange the thumbnails in some sort of rational order, for example, more western-looking gowns in a section, more Chinese looking gowns in a section, and more Indian looking gowns in a section, etc.  Previously, they were sort of just however, and the arrangement was a little confusion.  I wish people had taken more pictures of the surroundings of these weddings though!  I know there are a lot of details on wedding gowns, but I find that a lot of the times, the dress of the folks attending is really cool too.  =)

thread_title: Reorganization of some information

message: I agree with the person who says that this is very westernized...I went over to Wedding and I found this
"Different wedding traditions call for different wedding outfits:
Qipao, Chinese traditional formal wear 
Batik and Kebaya, a special garment worn by the Javanese people of Indonesia. 
Barong Tagalog, an embroidered formal garment of the Philippines 
Kimono, the traditional garments of Japan 
Sari, Indian popular and traditional dress in India 
Ao dai, traditional garments of Vietnam 
Morning dress, a particular category of men's formal dress 
Kilt, male garment particular to Scottish culture"
I don't know whether these garments would be considered wedding dresses, but they're worth a try.24.151.101.55 00:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Are these Wedding Dresses? 

message: I removed a sentence today about how poor people imitate rich people "as best they can". Obvious and totally worthless information, in my opinion. Anyone who misses the sentence: why not write a well-sourced article about People of lower social standing and how some of them imitate the wealthy in every way they can? There may be someone out there who would find that interesting? Or maybe a section in the article on Arrogance about people who classify others as "lower" in various ways?

thread_title:  Brides of "lower social standing" 

message: This article:
prior to the Victorian era, a bride was married in any color except black (the color of mourning) or red (which was connected with prostitutes)
White wedding article:
Royal brides before Victoria did not typically wear white [...] with red being a particularly popular color in Western Europe more generally.
Also on that page, there seem to be a few photos of brides in a black dress.
So which article is correct? 82.152.217.203 (talk) 16:03, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Red and black

message: I believe it's best for a lead image to be as absolutely unquestionable as possible, and when I saw the image (shown to the right) chosen for lead image, I noted that it appeared to be more akin to a typical Court Presentation photograph than a bridal photograph. (See Court uniform and dress in the United Kingdom#Women's court dress ) - especially as the sitter had the Prince of Wales feathers in her hair, which is not usual for brides, and was wearing a low cut bodice with bare arms and long gloves (again, very atypical for a Victorian wedding dress, and not really considered appropriate for a church ceremony in the 19th century). So I went into Wikimedia Commons and found a similar image of a similar date, which, with its high neckline, long sleeves, and orange-blossom trimming, cannot be mistaken for anything other than a bridal gown. It's a very common mistake - many Court presentation photographs are mistaken for wedding photographs because bouquets, veils and long white dresses were part of the dress code for Court. To further confuse the matter, aristocratic brides were often traditionally re-presented under their married name at Court wearing their wedding dress (with an alternative low-cut bodice substituted) but it's best to have an image that definitely shows a bride rather than leave room for doubt.

thread_title:  Changed lead image - reasoning below: 

message: @Yamacyan, I believe that a need for modest dress is why some brides wear jackets during their church ceremonies, not why they might wear gloves.  Strapless/sleeveless wedding gowns weren't common anywhere until the 1990s, and they are still banned by some churches.  (The Mormons, for example, require wedding dresses to cover the bride's temple garment.)  Gloves don't solve a dress code problem when the venue says no bare shoulders or no bare upper arms.

thread_title:  Dubious 

message: Hello, I was just reading through the article and believe when it comes to West Asian/ North African dresses it is lacking information. This is due to the pictures from these cultures found in the gallery but no information on them in the Eastern culture section. Could this be due to a lack of information?Lkm4gn (talk) 13:43, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
