How We Make Your Custom Qipao or Tang Suit

Every heirloom begins with a conversation.
Our process is personal, detailed, and entirely handmade.

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.

the 4-step process

Step 1 Consultation – Designer sketching Qipao silhouette with client

Consultation & Design

We begin with your story. You'll meet with us by Zoom or in person to share your story, vision, and event details.
Together, we discuss colors, silhouettes, and cultural symbols that matter to you.
From there, we sketch your design and select fabrics that bring it to life.

Hand Embroidery

Our artisans begin the embroidery using traditional Shu and Panjin techniques.
Each stitch is done by hand, bringing dragons, phoenixes, florals, and family symbols to life in silk and gold thread.

Tailoring & Finishing

Once the embroidery is complete, we cut and assemble the dress or Tang suit with precision.
Every seam is hand-finished to ensure comfort, structure, and timeless beauty.


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.
