Cultural Inspiration

The qipao, also known as cheongsam, emerged in 1920s Shanghai as a modernized adaptation of traditional Manchu women’s dress. This design preserves the iconic elements—the mandarin collar, side fastening, and straight cut—while introducing delicate pearl details for a contemporary touch. The soft lavender tone reflects a sense of tranquility and grace, harmonizing the timeless beauty of Chinese tailoring with a modern, international aesthetic.
How to Style This Cheongsam

- Daytime Outing
Pair with nude ballet flats or low block heels and a small crossbody bag. Minimal jewelry, such as pearl stud earrings, keeps the look light and effortless. A natural makeup palette with soft pink lips complements the lavender tone.
- Wedding Guest
Choose silver or ivory satin heels and a pearl clutch. Add drop pearl earrings and a delicate bracelet to enhance the elegance. A light silk shawl in a matching tone offers coverage and sophistication for the ceremony.
- Evening Event
Opt for strappy heels and a structured evening bag. Statement earrings in crystal or pearl add sparkle without overpowering the dress. Style hair in a sleek chignon for a polished look.
- Seasonal Celebration
For festive occasions, pair with embroidered flats or brocade heels for a cultural touch. Add a decorative hairpin or comb for an elegant nod to tradition. A bold red lip can create a striking contrast against the soft lavender silk.
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.
