Sea Green Lace Fishtail Handmade Qipao

$435.00

Inspired by the elegance of early 20th-century Shanghai, this sea-green lace cheongsam captures the romance of East-meets-West style. The design takes cues from the golden age of the “Paris of the East,” when cheongsams began blending Chinese craftsmanship with modern silhouettes. Handcrafted with intricate lace in soft green, accented by watercolor-like shades of yellow and blue, it reflects the artistry of slow fashion. The mid-calf length and subtle fishtail hem echo the grace of vintage evening wear, while flutter sleeves add a light, contemporary touch. A dress that tells a story—bridging tradition and modernity, and inviting you to be part of its timeless journey.

Cultural Inspiration

In the glamour of 1930s Shanghai—known as the “Paris of the East”—the cheongsam emerged as a canvas for cultural exchange. This sea green lace design, brushed with soft watercolor tones, is a tribute to that golden age when silk-clad women strolled along the Bund under glowing streetlamps, carrying with them both the refinement of Chinese tradition and the allure of Western style. The gentle fishtail hem recalls the elegance of vintage evening wear, while airy flutter sleeves speak to a modern sense of freedom. It is a dress born from history, yet ready for the present.

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

Necklines

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.
