Vintage Chinese Cheongsam Cherry Blossom Blue Silk Devore Voided Velvet Qipao Dress

This vintage Chinese cheongsam cherry blossom blue silk devore voided velvet qipao dress dates from 1940. It is made of a luxurious dark blue sheer silk voided velvet devore fabric with a burnout cut cherry blossom flower pattern. This traditional Chinese cheongsam dress has a long floor length form fitting style with red silk trim edging, high side slit vents, a mandarin collar long sleeves, with a side zipper, snap closures along the front neckline, decorative red pankou knot trim and is fully lined with a size Small tag sewn inside. The dress measures 53 inches long, with a 34 inch chest, 26 inch waist, 34 inch hips, 18 inch long sleeve, 13 inch back and 14 inch neck. Manchu women early on wore a loose fitting one-piece dress which were called "qipao", transforming later to the more form fitting style "Mandarin Gown" popular in Shanghai during the 1920s-1940s becoming more influenced by Western fashion and fabrics. It is in excellent condition. This is truly a wonderful quality custom made fully lined piece of Westernized Chinese cheongsam wearable art!
