longfeng gua(龙凤褂)

龙凤褂裙是汉族服饰，源自明代立领马面袄裙，清代上衣称为褂，马面袄裙就有了裙褂的称呼，近代广东人多穿褂裙出嫁，视之为体面，所以，这种手艺亦南传，至今以潮汕手工最著名。百年前的南粤，不同的辈份，穿的裙褂也是不一样的。新娘子一般会穿大红色，密度在80%-100%（褂王）的裙褂（那时候要做一年哦）；长辈（新娘的母亲、新郎的母亲）会穿黑衣红裙或全黑的，密度在60%-75%（密五福或大五福）的裙褂；亲属（也属长辈，如：姨妈，姑妈，姐姐，亲嫂等）会穿红色或黑色（颜色不限），密度在70%-55%或50%以下（中五福至五福宝）。其它亲朋，衣着宜以这类服饰为主，不规定是裙褂。

如今，龙凤褂在中国非常受欢迎, 主要流行于广东、潮汕、香港、澳门一代。龙凤褂是中国不可或缺的中式婚纱。 龙凤瓜以龙凤图案，赋予其吉祥的意义。 除了龙凤之外，龙凤瓜还出现了五个刺绣蝙蝠，意思是五福的到来。 龙凤瓜比上述三件中式婚纱更加简约，可以展现女性的曲线美。 在现代中国，当中新人们拍摄中式婚纱照时，会以凤冠霞为主，但是当他们为客人喝酒时，他们更喜欢龙凤瓜
