The designing idea of the white dress came from the information that the designer obtained from China, the Chinese people, and ancient Chinese history. Chinese people always use the most beautiful fabrics, such as silk. This made the designer think of a dress made of white silk with embroidery, azure stones and silver colored metal on it. The designer first purchased silk fabrics in Afghanistan, and then obtained other materials to complete the design.
