定制旗袍的价格差异主要源于两大核心要素：

1. **材料成本**
我们提供从真丝缎、香云纱等传统天然面料，到进口蕾丝、立体刺绣等现代工艺材质的全系选择。不同织物的原料等级、产地（如苏州缂丝、法国斜纹绸）及特殊处理工艺（手工染整、24K金线刺绣）将直接影响最终成本。

2. **手工复杂度**
每件旗袍的工时成本取决于：
- 剪裁方式（平面剪裁 vs. 立体归拔）
- 装饰工艺（手推绣、盘金绣、镂空雕花等非遗技法）
- 细节处理（如一字扣需单独计算工时，每对需2-8小时不等）

我们建议您在初步咨询后，设计师将根据您的需求提供3档细分报价方案，确保工艺投入与预算精准匹配。"

Custom Qipao Pricing – A Guide to Craftsmanship & Materials

The pricing of a bespoke qipao is determined by two fundamental factors:

1. Material Selection
We offer an exclusive range of fabrics, from traditional silk satin and gambiered Guangdong gauze to contemporary lace and embroidered textiles. The cost varies significantly based on:
- **Fiber quality & origin** (e.g., Suzhou kesi silk, French twill)
- **Artisan techniques** (hand-dyeing, 24K gold-thread embroidery)
- **Rarity** (limited-edition brocades, heirloom-grade linings)

2. Artisan Labor Intensity
Each qipao’s craftsmanship cost reflects:
- Construction method** (flat-pattern vs. 3D draping)
- Embellishment complexity** (hand-pushed embroidery, gold-cord stitching, openwork carving)
- Detail finishing** (e.g., handmade knotted buttons require 2–8 hours per set)

Upon consultation, our designer will provide three tailored pricing tiers with transparent breakdowns, ensuring alignment with your vision and investment expectations.

Here are Some tips for taking care of your beautiful Qipao dresses.

For Regular Qipao dresses :
If you don’t have time to hand-wash your regular suede fabric, composite lace, velvet, satin, or artificial tea silk Qipao dresses, then please place the regular Qipao into a thick mesh bag ( wash bag) before putting it in a washer. Please make sure the water is tap cold/cold then chose light wash. Finally, please air dry it.

For mulberry silk Qipao dresses :
1)  Mulberry silk can’t be washed with soap, washing powder, liquid detergent. Silk will fade when it encounters alkaline chemicals. Avoid soaking. Never use a hard brush or vigorously rub. It is recommended to use shower gel and cold water to hand-wash, and rub gently. It is recommended to air dry.

2) It is okay to dry-clean mulberry silk qipao too.

For Cotton or Linen Qipao dresses / Tang suits:
1)  If you don’t have time to hand-wash your cotton and linen Qipao or Tang suits, please place them into thick mesh bags ( wash bags ) before putting it in a washer. It is highly recommended to use tap cold/cold water to wash cotton and linen material items. Avoid prolonged soaking. Never use a hard brush or vigorously rub. Use bleach-free detergent to avoid fading. It is recommended to air dry.
2) It is okay to dry-clean cotton and linen qipao too.

Finally, please make sure to divide the qipao into deep and light colors and wash it separately.
