秀禾服 vs 龍鳳褂 “Song wo fu” vs “long feng gua”

穿上中式禮服出嫁是近年來大受歡迎的潮流。

眼見女明星在結婚時，也無一不跟上傳統，穿得一身金金紅紅。

中式禮服有很多種，除了最熱門的龍鳳褂，其實秀禾服也深得新娘喜愛。驟眼看或許看不出來，但只要細心留意其實各有各特點。穿秀禾服出嫁的女星，還不比龍鳳褂的少。說起秀禾服的風潮冒起，主要是從2002年初上映的電視劇《橘子紅了》開始被大家所注視。乘著電視劇的火紅，周迅所飾演的女主角秀禾，古典而溫婉的形象讓大家非常深刻，所穿的服裝更被稱為「秀禾服」，也逐漸成為中式嫁衣的代名詞。


「秀禾服」其實是一種漢族女子所穿的襖裙，上衣在裙子之外。它的特點是外型寬鬆，大多採用平面剪裁；寬大的衣身和袖子，配以下身大裙擺(又稱馬面裙)，掩藏起女身體性線條，感覺端莊大方。剪裁寬大的秀禾服基本上不挑身型，如果你是微胖的新娘，穿上去會有很好的「遮肉」效果。相比起來，龍鳳褂的剪裁更為立體及修身，肩部及袖子位置也比較窄身，下身裙擺則用上直筒設計，看上去會比較顯瘦。

秀禾服上的圖案十分多元化，除了婚慶常見的龍鳳，任何有好意頭寓意的花草和動物圖案皆見，好像有牡丹、金魚、蝙蝠、石榴花、錦鯉、祥雲、百合等等，象徵著各種對新人的祝福。(例如牡丹有花開富貴的寓意，金魚就是「有餘」的意思)。
