The Story of “Phoenix Perching” (凤栖)

A Symbol of Inner Grace
The name “Phoenix Perching” (凤栖) comes from an ancient saying: “The phoenix perches only upon the paulownia tree.” In Chinese symbolism, it speaks to a woman’s inner nobility—calm self-assurance, and the quiet courage to choose her own path.

Inspiration & Cultural Heritage
This design draws from adapted motifs seen in historical artifacts, centered on the Phoenix (Feng Huang)—a legendary, five-colored divine bird in Chinese mythology. Its presence traditionally signifies peace, prosperity, and virtuous strength. In ceremonial culture, phoenix imagery often appears on precious objects and wedding garments, carrying blessings for harmony and auspicious beginnings.

A Tapestry of Blessings
The phoenix stands at the center, surrounded by symbolic motifs: peonies (prosperity), lingzhi (longevity), cloud patterns (good fortune), and scholar’s rocks (resilience). It is more than decoration—it is a quiet wish embroidered in thread, for a life shaped by love, abundance, and enduring strength.

How to Wear It

Versatile for Every Season & Occasion
A year-round wardrobe staple that transitions seamlessly from day to night.

• Daily Elegance: Pair with a simple blouse, T-shirt, or sweater for refined everyday style.
• Formal Glamour: Style with a delicate camisole or structured bustier for an evening-gown effect.

Craftsmanship & Fit

• Luxurious Fabric: Woven with blended gold and silver threads for a subtle royal glow under light.
• Classic A-Line Silhouette: Trapezoidal pleats create a naturally flattering A-shape, especially when paired with a fitted top.
• Designed to flatter: Structured pleats and balanced proportions complement most body types.

Size Guide (Please Read Carefully)

Important: Chinese sizing runs significantly smaller than standard Western sizing. Please ignore your usual size and refer strictly to the size chart in the product images.

Care & Maintenance

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your garment:

• Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. Avoid wringing or harsh scrubbing (especially important for pleats).
• Color care: Wash dark colors separately to prevent dye transfer.
• Drying: Air dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
• Ironing: Use a low-temperature setting. A steamer is recommended to protect the fabric and pleats.
