　　Cheongsam

　　Cheongsam, commonly referred to as Qipao, is a traditional garment highly treasured in the Chinese culture. Originally worn by the Manchu women, it took its present form in the 1920s, and became the most popular garment for women in the Republic of China. In 1929, it was recognized as a national garment by the government of the Republic of China. It is characterized by left lapel over right lapel , a straight collar with traditional Chinese knot-buttons, side slits, fabric of a single cut, raglan sleeves, and intricate patterns. In modern times, it has been modified to suit the design of our times—including a shortening in sleeve and overall length as well as more-fitted tailoring.
