Abbie G. Sanderson and friend dressed in traditional Chinese wedding clothing, Guangdong, China, 1922

“M. Boss has on the bride’s jacket of blue & purple brocade, and skirt of red crepe with iridescent embroideries & I am wearing the jacket & trousers fitting for the sister-in-law to wear at her brothers wedding. They are nile green brocaded satin with black borders & rose & gold pipings. We bought them in Chaochowfu and I sold mine to Elsie. Haven’t I the most hideous squint? A.G.S. 1922” A portrait of Abbie G. Sanderson (seated) and her friend (standing) dressed in traditional Chinese wedding clothing.
