Why is it difficult to wear cheongsam?

The modern improved cheongsam is characterized by three-dimensional cutting, chest and waist saving and tight-fitting, which will outline the body lines and highlight the beauty of buttocks and chest. Moreover, it has sleeves, which are relatively straight, and the wearing experience is also like a small suit (the sleeves and chest are tight, which makes it difficult to raise your hand). And split high, often split to the thigh. This kind of cheongsam gives you the illusion that "cheongsam requires a very tall figure". Because if it is not tailor-made, the chest is empty, the ass is empty, and the abdomen is protruding, which is very ugly, so the modern improved cheongsam must be very tight.

However, the traditional open-width cheongsam often modifies the figure rather than requires it, and it will not be exposed when walking, sitting or lying down, or the clothes are too tight to move.

Before talking about traditional cheongsam, Emmm put some "modern improved cheongsam" that is not easy to change. At the end of the article, I updated some improved cheongsam that I personally think looks good. )

And this cheongsam, to be honest, I personally think the pattern is quite ugly. If it were not a cheongsam, but an ordinary dress, probably no one would choose this one. But it is a cheongsam, and some people think that cheongsam should be such a "traditional" pattern, so it is very tolerant. But seriously, this tolerance is unnecessary.

Most people who don't know about cheongsam may think of this when talking about "cheongsam": tight-fitting, "traditional" pattern and high split.

These clothes are very tight on the model and show a perfect figure, but who has the same figure as this model?

Moreover, again, these patterns are used in ordinary dresses, and even if they are made into clothes, few people buy them, right?

Wearing clothes is never for the pursuit of tradition, but for beauty. Obviously does not meet the aesthetic requirements, whether it is traditional or not. Dare to say ugly.

However, this is not the traditional model of China. The traditional peony pattern in China is like this:

Moreover, the appearance of cheongsam in the Republic of China was a product of fashion. People in the Republic of China tend to use more modern patterns instead of traditional patterns handed down from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
