Cultural Inspiration

This vest draws inspiration from traditional Chinese clothing details, blending subtle symbolism with modern wearability. The butterfly motifs reference themes of grace and renewal often seen in classical textiles. The knot-style closures and clean mandarin-inspired lines echo elements from cheongsam craftsmanship, reinterpreted with a softer palette and contemporary silhouette.
How to Style This Cheongsam

This piece is designed for versatile layering across seasons.
- Pair it with a long-sleeve knit for a sleek, modern look.
- Layer over a simple shirt or blouse to highlight the butterfly jacquard and fur trim.
- For a dressier outfit, combine it with wide-leg trousers or a midi skirt to balance the structured neckline.
- The blue-purple tones pair easily with neutrals like white, cream, grey, or black, as well as soft pastels.
The vest adds texture and a subtle cultural element without overwhelming the overall look.
What Are Plackets & Necklines?

Plackets

A placket is the opening on the front of a garment, usually used for buttons, knots, or zippers. Different placket designs create different visual effects.

Front-Opening

The placket sits at the center of the garment. It looks clean, symmetrical, and easy to style.

Diagonal Front Opening

The placket follows a slanted line from one side to the other. It adds a decorative, more distinctively East-Asian look.

Necklines

A neckline shapes the upper contour of a garment and strongly influences the overall style.

Round Neck

Soft and minimal, easy to layer with different inner tops.

Mandarin Collar

Upright and structured, giving a clean, refined appearance with a subtle Asian-inspired touch.

Measuring Guide

Accurate bust, waist, and hip measurements form the critical foundation for proper size analysis. These dimensions must be meticulously taken using our official guidelines to ensure absolute precision.

How to Measure Your Body for Custom Sizing

1. Preparation
Wear only undergarments (bra and underwear). Have a soft measuring tape ready, and ask a friend or family member to assist for accurate measurements.Please measure in centimeters.

2. Measuring Technique
Let the tape rest gently against your skin—do not pull tight, and do not add extra allowance.

3. Key Measurement Points

- Body height: Measure barefoot from vertex to heel in standing position.

- Bust: Pass the measuring tape through the bust point (BP), wrapping horizontally around the fullest part of the chest.

- Waist: Locate your natural waistline and measure its circumference (the narrowest part of the torso, typically near elbow level when arms hang naturally at your sides).

- Hips: Measure horizontally around the fullest part of the hips.

- Back Shoulder Width:Locate the shoulder width between acromion points, measuring with the tape passing over the back neck center point (BNP). The measuring tape will naturally curve slightly - do not force it straight.
