They all look gorgeous in it. But I can see how it can be inconvenient at times, so I guess it should go kinda like japanese kimono - optional for special occasions, dates and celebrations.
You know, as long as it's an option for people to wear when they feel like it, that's great.
But same problem of several other traditional asian clothing - think about, for instance, having to go to the restroom in something like that. The time it gets to undress, dress back again, the risk of damaging and dirtying it. And then I also imagine that a complete piece of traditional clothing like that must be super expensive.
We call them traditional, but really, back at the time they were popular, they weren't common by any stretch of the mind. Special clothing for very special occasions, or reserved for the upper class only, or both. But I guess it's something common for most cultures.
For western cultures I picture men in complete tuxedos, hats, canes, monocles and whatnot, for women corseletes, full dresses with several layers, structural support, petitcoat, all that stuff.
Looks good, but it's a bit much to wear all the time.
