Explore Qipao Dresses

The Qipao is a classic Chinese dress. Simple in shape, close in fit, it reflects the grace of an earlier time. Our Qipao dresses are hand-embroidered in silk and tailored to measure. We also work with traditional fabrics such as brocade and satin, giving each piece the quiet strength of heritage. The Qipao is often chosen for weddings, tea ceremonies, and family portraits — moments where history and memory are carried forward.

Discover Modern Cheongsam Dresses

The Cheongsam is the Qipao re-imagined for the modern day. Cut for movement and shaped for evening wear, it carries Chinese heritage into new settings. Our Cheongsam dresses are made to measure, combining silk fabrics with embroidery that speaks of family and tradition. We work with fine materials such as Italian silk, Japanese cotton, linen, and evening gown fabrics to create Cheongsam that can be worn for galas, weddings, tea ceremonies, and cultural celebrations.

When to wear a Qipao or Cheongsam

A Qipao or Cheongsam is more than a dress — it’s a statement of heritage. Clients wear them for:

Chinese New Year and cultural festivals
Galas, graduations, and milestone birthdays
Tea ceremonies or wedding banquets (non-bridal styles)
Portraits and heirloom photography

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Qipao and a Cheongsam?

The Qipao refers to the traditional form with classic details from 1920s–1940s Shanghai. The Cheongsam is a modern interpretation, adapted with new fabrics and silhouettes.

Are your Qipao and Cheongsam dresses custom made?

Yes. Every dress is made to your body measurements with one fitting included. Off-the-rack styles are also available in limited sizes.

Do you ship outside Los Angeles?

Yes. Many of our clients are based in New York, Texas, Seattle, and worldwide. We offer Zoom consultations and global delivery.

How much does a Qipao or Cheongsam cost?

Because each dress is custom-made with different levels of embroidery and materials, we don’t publish set prices online. Most of our brides consider these rewardable pieces for future events, with timelines from 1 to 6 months depending on embroidery. During your consultation, we’ll share options that match your vision and budget.
