【Cup Shape】

What is a lapel? A lapel refers to the part of a shirt where the buttons are placed on the chest, and a lapel style refers to the various designs that match the shirt's button placement.

There are many options, aren't there? It also holds a lot of knowledge! Friends, choose according to your preferences, height, and body type!

【Style Guide】

Friends can choose according to the length of their necks. Those with longer necks are suited for high-necked tops, while those with shorter necks should opt for collarless or short-necked cheongsams. Additionally, the teardrop collar is also a popular style.

1. High-neck Cheongsam (nearly covers the neck)

2. Low-neck Cheongsam (letting the neck breathe some fresh air)

3. Waterdrop Lead

Very playful and sexy! For those who worry about being too revealing, there are other styles to choose from!

【Sleeve Style】

Sleeve styles include long sleeves, short sleeves, and sleeveless. Choose according to your preference and the weather, you know!

  1. Short-sleeve shirts (generally average length, sometimes nearly as large as a small packet sleeve)

2. Short sleeve with a slight shoulder coverage

   3. Sleeveless (Perfect for friends with slender arms)

【Split】

Split into high and low splits. For those with a balanced figure and long feet, side splits can be considered to highlight their advantages. Modern改良-style cheongsam doesn't necessarily have to have splits; it mainly depends on the preferences of our friends!

  1. Open slit (a slit near the hem of the skirt)

  2. High slit (the slit extends longer, starting from the thigh, probably the first thing people think of when they imagine a qipao, and Vietnamese qipaos even have a slit that reaches down to the bust area).

Dress Length

Friends can choose between long or short qipaos based on their own height when purchasing or customizing.

    1. Long cheongsam (Many opt for the long cheongsam for its flowing, dignified, and elegant appearance.)

2. Short Cheongsam (While short cheongsams were not very common in the past, there are now many modified cheongsam styles featuring short versions.)

[Color]

The choice of colors should also match your friends' preferences, and make sure your bag, shoes, hairstyle, and nail polish colors are well coordinated, too!

【Buttonhole】

The buttons on the qipao, known as盘扣, are the soul of the qipao, adding a touch of elegance. There are numerous types of盘扣, often adorned with pearls and flowers, each style offering a unique visual appeal!

1. Butterfly Buttons (Don't they look like butterflies fluttering on clothing?)

2. The one-button style (similar to the character "一", simple and elegant)

3. Three-ear buckle (like three flowers, actually three circles combined together; suddenly impressed by the ancient design)

Actually, there are far more styles of盘扣 than just these few. These are actually among the more common ones. If you have the chance, you should visit a qipao shop; there are truly countless beautiful designs!

With these concepts in mind, you should be able to choose a qipao that suits you. Now, go ahead and actually explore qipao shops or online stores!
