Hi guys!!

I just joined Reddit and found this group, so I wanted to share a few of my cross-stitch projects since I've been feeling sentimental. The pillow in the first two pics was my first project, which was perhaps a bit ambitious 🫣 (I wanted to share the back since I hand-pieced it). It took 6 months to complete, but my ex and i broke up 3 months after I gave it to him. Wanted to share since I miss that project and I’ll never see again! 😅

The others are gifts to family or I’ve sold (the small square ones). These have been made in the last year! One day I hope I’ll get to actually keep something I’ve made 🤭

Hope you guys like!!

quick context: I am white, but I have a lot of passion for global traditional clothing, and wear stuff from all over the world a lot. This is the third year I’ve been invited to the Asia gala, and the past two years I wore a Hanfu and then a Sari. I’ve been wanting to wear this qipao which I thrifted online, but ofc I want to wear it well if I am! I am concerned about the quality not being nice enough, and it fitting me wrong. thoughts?? woyld it still be appropriate to wear tonight? Thank you!!

EDIT: If I did wear it, I would definitely dress it up! I was thinking bun, heels, and a shawl. But i also have a skirt I can try and style for the gala so thats why I wanted to ask here!
