Cultural Inspiration

The design references traditional East Asian vest silhouettes and decorative knot closures. Butterfly motifs are often associated with beauty and transformation, bringing a delicate visual element to the piece.

How to Style This Cheongsam

This vest works well as a statement layering piece. Pair it with a fitted knit top or long-sleeve blouse to highlight the curved wave-front closure and decorative frog buttons. For a balanced everyday look, combine it with wide-leg trousers or a midi skirt in neutral tones such as black, cream, or grey.

The black base makes it easy to integrate into cooler-season wardrobes, while the pink piping adds a subtle accent that can be echoed with small accessories like scarves or bags. It can also be layered under a wool coat or long outerwear during colder months, adding texture and character without overwhelming the outfit.

What Are Plackets & Necklines?

Plackets

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

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.
