Cheongsam

The Cheongsam, also known as Qipao, is a traditional Chinese dress characterized by a high collar, asymmetric opening, and a form-fitting silhouette. Originating in the early 20th century, it combines elements of traditional Chinese clothing with Western styles. Typically made from silk or other luxurious fabrics, it features intricate patterns and embroidery. The Cheongsam is often worn during formal occasions and celebrations, symbolizing elegance and cultural heritage. It has evolved over time, with modern variations incorporating different lengths, styles, and materials, making it a popular choice not only in China but also internationally.
