Discussion started by Nelson Ferreira , on 12 February 05:16 PM
After some discussions, with students and parents during the Chinese New Year, about different Ethnic group in China and what they wear, I decided to create an album of different dresses that each group wears (t's in the photo albums area of this group).
If you're interested in looking at pictures of full ethnic families you should check out this link:
