- Description
- This Blue-Grey Chinese Qi Pao jacket is made with dupion silk which has a bumpy texture. The jacket also includes a Chinese collar and a closure that extends through the bust down to the right side seams, this closure includes six Chinese button knots. The jacket features gold hand painted detailing and bias binding along the collar and the sleeves. The jacket has slits on the sides. '"Qipao" broadly refers to the traditional dress, while "Cheongsam" denotes explicitly the modern, form-fitting version popularized in the early 20th century. The Cheongsam, with its high neck and slits on the sides, is a more modern and stylized adaptation of the traditional qipao.'-Linqo Ace. Did you know?
