Qipao as representative of China fashion

In former times qipao was a long and never close fitting gown, which demonstrated to be so well-liked by Chinese women after the deposition of the dynasty. The characteristics of the gown, high collar and one or two slits for comfortable walking, are assets of the former gown of the Manchu Dynasty. Around 1600 people in North China developed a long tube gown without collar. This was the ancestor of our todays dress for women.

In former times, traditional China fashion was loosely and it's length reached the feet. Naturally it consists of silk and embroidery, combined with beautiful laces around the collar. Whereas the Qing Dynasty was terminated by a revolution, this kind of Oriental clothing fashion withstood the social transition and, by undergoing some modifications, now has become the one and only traditional fashion for Chinese women. So this account of the traditional style became set as the major Chinese dress for many many women in modern times.

 

Development of Qipao fashion

The close cut around the waist of the modern qipao style strongly influence also other fashion designs. In the metropolis Shanghai the slits of qipao, which at first pure and chaste reached the knees only, began to raise higher and higher. So not only for comfortable movement but also for alluring display of women's legs a Chinese dress usually has two great slits on every side. The slits show a woman's legs dimly during her movement, like a vague sensitive allurement. It was in Southern China as well that the gown became famous as cheongsam, a term which stands for "long dress".

Later on in the twentieth century when other kinds of fashion became more popular, the qipao's use dropped more and more. It then was noticed as old-fashioned and distressingly conservative and actually today, many Chinese ladies only select a sexy Asian dress for few social events. Then it can be seen like a Chinese suit on office women going about their daily tasks. Also respectable matrons doing their morning grocery shopping often step out in traditional China fashion.

 

China fashion today

Customary the color of the Chinese dress Cheongsam shows age: bright color for teens, soft colors for young, and bold colors for mature women. Nowadays China silk dress fashion could be found with various lengths and kinds of slits (one slit on one or every sides or one in the front only). Needless to say, with the varying notions of fashion and the usability of high quality fabrics, the qipaos seen in the daily life are modified in every respect. Asian dress fashion commonly is produced of high quality fabrics as for example silk, silk brocade, satin, satin brocade or velour's. Unfortunately, as the twentieth century continued and western fashions, the cheongsam steadily declined in use. Frequently China silk fashion gets various motives, like male dragons and female phoenix motives, many kinds of certain flowers, butterflies and further classic Chinese symbols. It empasizes women's decency, meekness and grace. During the last years, many women wear the cheongsam as everyday's attire. Designers permanently change the classic style (sometimes with awfully excesses).
