Our Custom Design Process
At JINZA, our service begins with listening. Every Qipao, Cheongsam, or Tang suit we make is designed through an intimate, guided process. From the first consultation to the final embroidery thread, our team supports you every step of the way.
How We Make Your Custom Qipao or Tang Suit
Heirloom Chinese wedding dresses, Qipao, Cheongsam, and Tang suits — made from scratch for your story.
Why We are different
We are not a tailoring shop. We are not fast fashion.
At JINZA, your Chinese dress is born from a blank canvas.
Every thread, every fit, every symbol is guided by your story — not a size chart.
This is heirloom craftsmanship, built for your body and legacy.
Every piece starts with your story—then brought to life through our patterns and hand embroidery. Browse our Qipao collection to see examples. Also our custom process extends to men’s wedding wear. Explore our Tang suits crafted for the modern groom.
the 4-step process
Book Your Consultation
We begin with your story — your vision, family symbols, and fit preferences. Sketches, fabrics, embroidery motifs are explored in detail.
Fabric & Design Selection
We draft embroidery placement and choose Shu or Panjin styles. Lotus, phoenix, peony, or something personal — all created by hand.
Fittings & Embroidery Collaboration
We build a mock-up of your dress from muslin for fitting. This ensures your Qipao or Tang suit follows your proportions with intention.
Final Touches & Delivery
Your garment is hand-sewn from premium silk and completed with embroidery, trims, and Pankou buttons — all made to order.
Every stitch, a symbol
Let the hands speak. From shaded silk florals to flying dragons and lucky clouds, these are the heirloom details woven into your Qipao.

Why Our Clients Choose JINZA
“I wanted something bold — a dress that spoke to both the woman I’ve become and the culture that raised me.
My red Qipao from JINZA had a front slit, a sculpted mermaid shape, and this incredible embroidery — a phoenix and dragon wrapping around my body like a blessing.
It was powerful, feminine, and unapologetically Chinese.
JINZA gave me a way to honor my roots without giving up who I am today.”
KiKei W.
"My mother couldn’t be at the wedding, but I wore her lotus flower on my Qipao — stitched by JINZA. It wasn’t just a dress. It was our story."
Jannet T.
"I’m a 911 first responder in Austin, but my roots are in Hong Kong.
I never thought I’d find a Chinese wedding dress that truly reflected both who I am and where I come from — until I found JINZA.
My Qun Kwa wasn’t just beautiful. It carried the spirit of my family. The embroidery told stories from generations past, including symbols I grew up seeing in old family photos.
When I wore it, I felt strong. I felt home."
