Mysterious Fancy Garments

So as Mike pointed out earlier, there are some garments that look like robes or dresses. Something not for your normal Monday (yesterday) afternoon hanging-out and doing laundry time. Something for a special event, perhaps an age-old tradition, a meaningful, memorable time whose garb gives insight into the import of the occasion.

It got me to thinking...I wonder what these clothes actually look like on the people who own them? All that we know is that they are Chinese, as we see them once in a while out on the balcony (note: I am Korean so yes I can tell the difference.) The possiblities are endless - my imagination ran wild...

What if, all this time, there were really important things happening across the yard in these two buildings, and we had no idea? Perhaps really important people only wear their clothes once (even jeans!) and then their servants wash them by hand.

It's all starting to make sense.
