Cheongsam is one of the most prominent and quintessential traditional Chinese dress style, featuring a long and body-hugging silhouette that accentuates a woman’s delicate and fine curves.

It’s meant to characterize the modesty, softness and beauty of Chinese women, and portray their customarily feminine personality.

It originated in the Manchu era, and was later on popularised by Chinese socialites and upper-class women in the 1920s and 1930s in Shanghai.

The beauty and popularity of Cheongsam has stood the test of time with it’s classic and timeless attributes. It traditionally features a high mandarin collar, short sleeves, and smooth silky fabric that drapes over a woman’s figure, henceforth accenting and flaunting the figure of the wearer, proffering the wearer slender-looking body and legs.
