Do you girls (guy are also welcome to comment) would wear them???
Do you hate them, love them or think they are ok??
I think they are cute, and it like American dress but with a little bit more different design and materials. My aunt is a fashion designer and make a line of her own Khmer dresses and they are pretty, I wear it to church and a lot of ppl comment on it, and my Cousin went to prom with one her mom design dress and it very nice.
Here are examples:

More American version, it thinner material and less colorful and design

they look exactly like thai to me [/QUOTE]
Well these are Khmer Stars, Thai stars actually lighter and most are mix.

I own about 9 wardrobes of those dresses so far that are personally tailored by my aunt. -Top laces and skirts. I only worn them to New Years and weddings...most of them still fits me, plus people did borrowed it for Asian Heritage Night for our school. I have a packload of silk materials that hasn't been cut, and waited to made more in the future.

Wow....i like the colors. as for the khmer dresses. they are sooo uncomfortable to wear! they are sooo fitted that 6 months later they dont fit ......so more alteration is needed. i prefer natural or soft color for me complextion. something like peach or so.

the seamstresses have skills though. i am amazed

they're really popular here in CT. people wear them to weddings all the time. a lot of them look fobby though but some are really nice. yeah i bought a whole bunch when i went to cambodia and now they dont fit me anymore. the material isn't stretchy. so i plan to get a lot of new onces when i go this november.

i need to come up with designs... wanna help me? heh.

wow their very unique i like em well i kno lots of khmer ppl here in houston that are my parents friends and they cut khmer clothes i got dis one strap shirt wit a sarong TOO BAD I DONT WEAR IT! and its dis cerulean blu very pretty but i wouldnt wear it on khmer new year cuz that time i wear pants and stuff LOL and im not dat type of grl dat sits in one place wit a nice pretty clothes scared i might mess it up lol

^hahaha. true to that. i dont want to just sit there looking pretty for new year but I STILL DO. at least to temples. i dont go the parks or homes. i go to the temple with food for the monks. the rest of the year will be mine, but for a few days i will gladly support my tradition and by that, i will start with wearing traditional clothes.

i think khmer clothes are really beauitful.. i really love the there wedding clothes... that's one reason i want to get marry in those clothes.. love colorful things.. well here's my kkhmer clothes i have let someone made for me 4 years ago!!!! it's still in new condition... my aunt have it made in cambodia... and give them to meeh.

I like some modern Cambodian dresses but I don't like them as much as the traditional ones. The modern ones kind of look like prom dresses.

This somewhat traditional outfit looks cute.

Those traditional dresses look very nice and unique. I also notice that Khmer clothing usually use colorful and shiny materials such as satin.

I can tailor women fashion tops and pants, also men suits, but I never made long dress, and I don't know how. However I rarely wear anything of my own design, simply because I don't have time and lazy to tailor my own clothes. I prefer light color and simple design, to meet my convenience.

aWee those dresse are soo perddy!.. I would only wear these ones... though The othes wouldnt suit me I think. Overall there all nice dresses.

Does anyone have Khmer dance clips..

I'm interested

Pretty.

yeah i love them... Traditional dresses are really for weddings and stuff.. The modern ones are nice for like parties and stuff
Here's a pic of me with the modern khmer dress and my cousin with the traditional cambodian dress for her wedding

Yeah o_O Very pretty. Bah...I don't see many people wearing traditional clothing anymore...too many azn gangsturs in my area.

btw HULLO NITA! :-D Stupid Yahoo put the confirmation e-mail in the BULK section.

Where can I find her?

Warning given to Kambolizhuz & chiza for double posting.

Wow those dresses look real nice. You guys sure have a broad range of styles in your traditional dresses!

The thing about this site is mostly all about rules. They even warn you for cuss'n.

I agree with you completely chiza... there's people in here that all they do is post racist $hit, yet I still haven't seen them get a single warning. No disrespect for the mod (double post IS double post) but who gives a fu-k?!?! It's not like they doin it on purpose to try and up their post count or something. Why don't you give em a verbal warning instead. That way you can concentrate on the racist fu-ks that are derogatory to everyone in here, instead of people speaking amongst themselves about their dresses not even bothering anyone.

I'm starting to think you guys need a Khmer mod up in here

next thing you know Byron will be mod... then we're all fu-ked

omg guys we're posting off topic! scurry back or else we'll get warned! but being racist is ok. as long as you dont post off topic or double post

so yeah i like clothes. they keep us warm.

i love cambodian clothes they are really purdy!!!!!!!!!! exspecially the wedding kind.. can't wait till get marry in one of those dresses.

Nice gif, in your signature Sandra.

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL....

This is the reason I especially like New Years or other Khmer festivals: cause I get to see you ladies in these dresses. I think the dresses really bring out the beauty in you. (as super cheesy as that may sound..hehe) I just speakth the truth again.

I also think that Khmer dress reflects the lady's personality. When I wear a khmer dress, my blouse is usually long sleeved or somtimes I would wear a white collared shirt over the silk pahmuong..to keep it easy and not a complicated look. Sometimes, when some young girls wear them to the temple..they overly done their pahmuong and the slits are a bit high...

I notice her bracelets are distinctively Khmer, but the rest of the outfit looks very Thai to me sorry. The style of her top and the patterns on her dress is something you'd see more often in Thai dress from what I've noticed. I think it's something where Khmer seamstress borrowed the style from Thai.

You people shouldn't be expecting any impartiality in AF. There is none whatsoever. Some MODs in AF are complete fools. They must have slept their way to become MOD. Read this commie propaganda from a MOD and how I got him to shut his hole up for good http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33146 .

I can't wait to see that wannabe, "donkey of the century" becoming MOD. I have no doubt that he will eventually become one because after all this is AsiaFinest. I'd love to feed him more shlt just like I've fed shlt into that supernovsp.

And back on topic: That dress above does not look like a traditional Khmer dress in my opinion. It looks like a generic traditional dress in any Indianised culture. It could fit easily in to Bali, Thailand or even Java. There is nothing uniqely Khmer in that dress. Again, that's just my personal opinion.

wow. there are racist moder fu-kers in here.

Don't worry

we got Cuong the crackhead to quit his mod position a long time ago

you finally noticed??

Khmer Dress

There you go Madness! That's more like Khmer dress.
