This cheongsam features a deep burgundy hue, crafted from a lustrous satin fabric that exudes elegance and sophistication.

Collar Design: It adopts a classic mandarin collar with a delicate teardrop-shaped cutout at the center, adorned with a pearl-like button. This design preserves the dignity of traditional cheongsam while adding a touch of modern flair.
Sleeves: The three-quarter length sleeves reach the mid-forearm, flattering the arm line and maintaining a refined appearance suitable for formal occasions.
Embroidery: The garment is embellished with exquisite gold embroidery. Starting with a floral motif at the collar, flowing cloud patterns cascade down the body, culminating in a traditional "water and mountain" pattern at the hem, symbolizing good fortune and continuity.
Silhouette and Tailoring: The cheongsam features a form-fitting cut that accentuates the feminine figure, with a side slit at the hem. This not only allows for ease of movement but also pays homage to the classic elements of traditional cheongsam.
Overall Style: It seamlessly blends traditional Eastern aesthetics with modern design sensibilities. The luxurious burgundy satin and intricate gold embroidery create a striking contrast, making it ideal for formal events such as weddings and banquets.

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.
