What is a Cheongsam or Qipao Dress?

The Cheongsam (also known as Qipao) is a traditional Chinese dress that originated in the early 20th century. Known for its form-fitting cut, mandarin collar, and side slits, the qipao became a cultural symbol of Chinese fashion. At JINZA, we offer a range of Cheongsam dresses—from classic embroidered silk pieces to modern styles with updated silhouettes.
