The Cheongsam or Qipao (旗袍儿) is a single-piece Chinese woman’s dress. The modern qipao is a version of the dress introduced by the Manchurians in 17th century China. In the early 20th century, Shanghainese version were modernized into the form we see today, playing with varieties of necklines and trimmings.
