Is the left lapel pressing the right lapel or the right lapel pressing the left lapel?

Cheongsam is a left lapel and a right lapel.

China's robes have been accustomed to the form of open lapels since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Most of them are right lapels, and the left lapels cover the right axils and cover the right lapels, which is called right lapels. On the contrary, it is called Zuo Qiu. Therefore, cheongsam can be divided into left hand and right hand.

The skirt on the left is called a big skirt, and the skirt on the right is also called a small skirt. What's more, it's convenient and customary to twist the button with the right hand, because most people like to use their right hand hard, so the buttons on the left and right lapels are on the right, and convenient buttons are also the main design requirements.

Cheongsam is generally tight, so when wearing cheongsam, you must pay attention to your gentle behavior and don't make big moves, including walking, eating and drinking water. You must be gentle and elegant and your overall temperament can be coordinated with cheongsam.

Introduction of cheongsam

It is the traditional dress of women in China and even China in the world, and is known as the quintessence of China and the national costume of women. Although its definition and time of emergence are still controversial, it is still one of the most beautiful phenomena and forms in China's long-standing clothing culture. The collar types of cheongsam include gold ingot collar, round neck, square collar, low collar and impatiens collar. There are also drop collars, V-shaped collars and even stand collars.

Classical flag dresses mostly adopt straight lines, loose body, split sides, bust and waistline close to the size and proportion of the dress. The appearance features of cheongsam generally require all or part of the following features: open or semi-open form of right lapel, collar button, side slit, flat cutting of single piece of material and sleeves, etc. Opening is only one of the many features of cheongsam, not the only one, nor is it necessary.
