East Meets Dress still seems like it's too good to be true. If you're reading this, you're probably having trouble finding a qi pao that's not just a costume dress. Stop your search or you'll just waste more time! EMD bridges the gap between tradition and modern, makes high-quality stuff, has excellent customer service, and does it all for extremely reasonable prices. I saw a post in the facebook group "Subtle Asian Traits" (which has 1.7M members) asking for recommendations for qi pao in the United States, and the ONLY business name that came up multiple times was East Meets Dress.
I ordered the Rachel dress with the phoenix print and got my fiance the Yuan jacket to match. They are made so well and fit us perfectly. All my family and Chinese friends know about EMD now because I'm such a believer.
