Lavender Silk Beaded Handcrafted Qipao
This lavender silk qipao is crafted from fine jacquard silk, featuring a subtle floral pattern woven into the fabric for a refined texture. The classic mandarin collar and asymmetrical front closure are highlighted with delicate pearl beading, adding a soft touch of detail. Pearl-trimmed short sleeves create a light, graceful silhouette.
Cut to a mid-calf length, the dress follows the traditional qipao shape with a straight fit and side slits for comfortable movement. The understated design allows the craftsmanship and fabric to speak for themselves, making it suitable for both formal occasions and quiet gatherings.
A modern interpretation of a timeless Chinese dress, it pairs well with understated accessories for an elegant, effortless 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.

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.
