Chinese tradition say that if you want to identify a beauty you should look at her appearance in a cheongsam. The Qipao showcases Oriental modesty and sexiness, wrapping female figures in form-fitting dresses.

Fine Qipao are handmade with soft silk and intricate brocade. Selecting fine material is the first step to make a Qipao. 26 dimensions must be measured to make a Qipao and represent the taste of the Master. The collars of Qipao are always curved to show the softness and slenderness of the female's neck. Popular patterns on Qipao include phoenix, birds, leaves and flowers.
