Cheongsam
The cheongsam, or “qipao” in Chinese, is a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women. The stylish and often tight-fitting cheongsam that is most often associated with today was created in the 1920’s in Shanghai and was made fashionable by socialites and upper-class women.
The qipao of today can be modified according to the wearer's age and the occasion, and usually have traditional auspicious Chinese symbols.
