Characteristics of cheongsam

From the appearance, cheongsam basically has the following characteristics: open or semi-open collar, collar button, side slit, flat cutting of single piece of material and sleeves, etc. Opening is only one of the many features of cheongsam, and it is not unique or absolutely necessary.

In ancient times, cheongsam used a straight line, a loose body, a split side and a waistline close to the size of the dress. The cheongsam has entered the era of three-dimensional modeling, with darts appearing on the garment pieces, and the waist is more suitable for western-style sleeves. The length and sleeve length of cheongsam are greatly shortened, and the waist is more suitable.

Since the development of cheongsam, it has been adhering to the purpose of making women more beautiful, integrating into the trend and catching up with the times. Until now, cheongsam is still synonymous with beauty and elegance.
