Style elements and material
The collar
The collar of Qipao
/ Cheongsam is high and tight fitting, not just for
preventing coldness but also for beauty. The collar of Qipao / Cheongsam
generally
takes the shape of a semicircle, its right and left sides being
symmetrical, flattering the soft and slender neck of a woman. The collar
of Chinese fashion Qipao / Cheongsam is meticulously made, especially the buttonhole loop on the
collar, which serves as the finishing touch.
Here many samples.
The slits For
convenient movement and display of the slender legs of women Qipao / Cheongsam generally has two big slits at either side of the hem. The slits of
Asian style gowns Qipao / Cheongsam expose a woman's legs
indistinctly when she walks, as if there was a blurred emotional appeal
of "enjoying flowers in mist". Today you can get Qipao /
Cheongsam with
different lengths and kinds of slits (one slit on the side or front as
well as two slits).
The material
Asian dresses
Qipao / Cheongsam usually are made of excellent materials like
silk, silk brocade, satin, satin brocade or velour's. Nearly all colors
can be used. Often the Qipao / Cheongsam gets a certain pattern, such as Chinese
Dragons, different kinds of flowers, butterflies or other typical
Chinese icons (e.g. prosperity, wealth).
