Modern Art Cheongsam With Mandarin Collars and Lotus Floral Embroidery Y2K

This is your sign to put hair up in a bun!! 🔥 🔥 🧑‍🏫 Background. The Manchu Cheongsam (qipao) is a decorated conservative high necked dress that’s immensely sexy. Slimming almost bodycon look to emphasis waist to hip ratio without showing everything. Formal wear usually, but this is a modernized to fit ~schoolgirl. 👣 This Qipao. My childhood cheongsam from Beijing, adult size S, I’m the sole owner. My friend borrowed it for an event once. Otherwise not worn. Easy to maintain. Slightly stretchy. 👗 Cap sleeve, standing collar with mandarin buttons, small triangle shaped lace throughout collar and sleeve. 🖼 The bodice is a continuous abstract art checkered pattern on white, stretchy cotton. 🎀 Above the knee. Asymmetrical Pearl princess buttons. More embroidery in the front at the end of the skirt. It’s not an overly sexy one, no slit, sheath dress. Great for tea, retro vibes, visiting the gallery, and photoshoots. Adult size S during Y2K China really fits American XXS, especially in the shoulders. Wang Kar Wai kind of cheongsam. If you know you know. #qipao #cheongsam #kimono #mandarincollars #y2k
