This review is from: Traditional Chinese Fashion Paper Dolls (Paperback)

Ming-Ju Sun is a talented artist, and her lines and colors are as clean as always. Once against she show-cases Asian fashions with grace and beauty. The elegance and simplicity of Chinese fashions, from the early 600s to modern ages, lovely. Some of the fashions, such as the Tang dynasty jacket and dress (shown on cover) and the turn-of-the-century skirt and blouse would do well in modern society, showing once again that simple is best in fashion.
