A mannequin, dressed in an embroidered face mask and wedding dress, stands inside Suzhou Jusere Wedding & Evening Dress Co. Ltd's store, during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, China, August 4, 2020. Suzhou Jusere Wedding & Evening Dress Co. Ltd, one of Suzhou's largest gown manufacturers, tried to mitigate the downturn by ramping up direct sales to brides and travelling to their customers. But the escalation of the virus to a global pandemic saw foreign orders, which used to account for a tenth of the company's sales, all but disappear. "I hope that the epidemic abroad can get under control, which will allow wedding dress studios to reopen. That can in turn drive consumption," said founder Xu Chuanhai.
