Qipao & Cheongsam Dresses

Qipao, also known as a cheongsam, is a women's dress famous for its standing Mandarin collar, artisanal Chinese frog buttons, and fitted silhouette. This graceful garment, also referred to as a Mandarin gown, originated during the Qing dynasty in China. Qipao is a cherished national dress often worn for everyday life or big events like weddings, Lunar New Year celebrations, and traditional festivals.

This elegant dress is often crafted with luxurious fabrics like mulberry silk, brocade, and smooth satin. What sets the qipao apart from other traditional Chinese clothes is its remarkable diagonal front closure, which is decorated with delicate knotted buttons. The cheongsam is often designed with an iconic body-hugging shape and side slits that make the dress’s style more feminine.

There are many reasons why you should buy a cheongsam dress for attending an event. The first one is if you are looking to honor your Chinese culture by choosing a garment that is linked to your roots and heritage. Secondly, its feminine silhouette is extremely flattering to wear and is comfortable to walk in thanks to side slits. On top of that, qipaos are usually made in vibrant red and gold colors that photograph beautifully and create a festive atmosphere at any celebration. Finally, having an elegant qipao in your wardrobe guarantees owning a timeless evening gown that will never go out of fashion.

Yes, you can, there is nothing offensive about wearing a qipao if you are of a different ethnicity. As long as you are respectful about Chinese culture and you have educated yourself about cheongsams, there is nothing wrong with wearing a qipao dress as a foreigner. It is a great way to show your appreciation for our culture and your refined taste in traditional fashion. So do not be afraid to offend Asian people and simply enjoy having such a unique and meaningful gown in your wardrobe.

Qipaos are often made with delicate fabrics like mulberry silk, lace, or satin. Each of them requires extra care and attention when washing, drying, and ironing  them. To take care of your cheongsam, the best option is always to check the care instructions on the label of the dress. The most common instructions include dry cleaning or handwashing in cold water, depending on the material and details. In every qipao dress of our online boutique, you will find specific care instructions in the product description. We also invite you to read our dedicated blog post to learn more about this topic.
