Introduction
Of Chinese Dress-QIPAO
The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features
and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world
of high fashion.
The name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered
the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong
Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including
Beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history
behind it.
When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper, they organized
certain people, mainly Manchus, into "banners" (qi) and called
them "banner people" (qiren), which then became loosely the
name of all Manchus. The Manchu women wore normally a one-piece
dress which, likewise, came to be called "qipao" or "banner
dress." Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the
Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, the female dress survived the political
change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional
dress for Chinese women.
Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits
well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high, collar closed,
and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length,
depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the
right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits
up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty
of the female shape.
The cheongsam is not too complicated to make. Nor does it
call for too much material, for there are no accessories like
belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it. Another beauty
of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and
to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal
occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple
and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so
much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries
as well.
