Description
The Queen of Qi Paos, 旗袍! Also known as a Cheongsam 长衫, this is a style of Chinese dress popularized in the 1920s and '40s by socialites and high society women in Shanghai. It's a tailored, figure skimming design that accentuates curves and embodies femininity. In our take on the dress, we lengthened the sleeves (cap sleeves are just a no), added a side pocket (!), and loosened the fit for a more flattering and modern spin on a legendary classic.
This dress is a champion of details.
- 100% hand dyed xiang yun sha silk
- The Ruby print is a lightweight, buttery silk with natural variations and color and tone, due to the dye process.
- Silk frog clasps closures throughout with hand detailing
- Jade stone buttons
- Side pocket
- Slits on both side seams
- Hidden back zipper
- Runs true to size: take your normal size. If you're in between sizes we recommend sizing up as silk doesn't stretch and is better worn loose and comfortably. For exact measurements, please email info@theziran.com

Care
Our silk is naturally anti-microbial and very durable: you can wear it many times before washing. But when it's time, hand wash with cold water and a mild soap. Hang to dry. Steam to remove any wrinkles. If ironing, iron on low heat.
