PrefaceThe Chi-pao (Cheongsam) is a traditional Chinese dress with many variations in terms of style. Generally, it features stand-up collar and sideway button placket, which are perfectly closed by exquisite knotted buttons, forming a unique style. Its flexible, soft outlines highlight the female body curve in a romantic and elegant manner. Dressed in a Chi-pao, a woman looks extremely charming while walking gracefully.The Chi-pao contains two souls—traditional Chinese clothing and traditional Western clothing. It is indeed a perfect merging of the two kinds of traditional clothing cultures.The Chi-pao evolves from the Chi-pao worn by the females of the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty (1616-1911). The biggest difference between the Qing Dynasty Chi-pao and the Chi-pao we see today lies in the tailoring method. The Chi-pao in traditional Chinese style features loose contours, and a classic and dignified style. This produces a tight fit and makes the wearer appear graceful and romantic. From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, the Western clothing culture invaded the Chinese market. Tailored and sewn in a three-dimensional way, Western clothes highlight the beauty of human body curves, and, for this purpose, corsets and fillers were used to highlight the beauty of women’s body shapes. Under the influence of Western clothing culture, the traditional Chinese clothes gradually became three-dimensional in tailoring, resulting in the unique beauty of Chi-pao. Correspondingly, a variety of fabrics were used to help highlight the charming effects of the Chi-pao. A Chi-pao made of cotton and linen is simple but chic, a velvet Chi-pao looks elegant and luxurious, and a smooth and bright Chinese silk Chi-pao with traditional Chinese hand-embroidered patterns is considered the most classic and vintage. Today, whether it is hand-made or mass-produced, the Chi-pao has become part of the life of many Chinese women. The new fabric and new design combine to make Chi-pao keep pace with the times. Well-designed Chi-pao is popular among women of the younger generation. Many derivatives related to the Chi-pao have appeared in people’s life. The Chi-pao and its derivatives show a unique clothing culture and also the charm of traditional Chinese culture.Chinese Chi-pao has also conquered the world. It is acknowledged that Chi-pao represents Chinese clothing, and has brought inspiration to numerous Chinese and foreign fashion designers who draw nourishment from Chinese Chi-pao to create new designs integrated with brilliant cultural elements. This, in turn, makes the Chi-pao stylish and lively, much favored by the consumers in the fashion world.The Chi-pao, modern and traditional in style, is the most unique inspiration in the wisdom of Chinese craftsmen, and a shining page in the Chinese clothing culture. The Chi-pao represents and symbolizes China’s profound traditional culture, as well as exquisite traditional craftsmanship.
