History of the Chinese Dress
The quintessential Chinese dress is the cheungsam. Today, the cheungsam is a close-fitting sheath dress with short, fitted sleeves, a diagonal closure along one side and a high, stiff collar. It is most often produced in printed silks, often with floral motifs. The Chinese dress of today is a modernized and streamlined version of the elegant and lush garments of China as far back as the Manchu-Qing rulers of ChinaThe Qing Era
- The history of today's Chinese dress began in the Qing era. The Qing dynasty began in 1644 and brought Manchu culture and fashion to the Chinese court. Silks were heavily embellished with symbolic motifs and were used for both men's and women's clothing, including the garments that were the origin of the Chinese dress
Manchu Women's Dress
- The chenyi and changyi were the most common forms of informal court dress among Manchu women during the period of the Qianlong Emperor (1736 to 95). These long robes featured a round neck and a diagonal button-and-loop closure. The chenyi was a long, straight robe, while the changyi had slits on each side to allow for ease of movement
Chinese Dress in the Republican Period
- The cheungsam or modern Chinese dress came into fashion in the early 20th century. This dress, also called a qipao, revealed the body in a way earlier fashions had not. It was influenced both by traditional Chinese styles in the Qing dynasty and also by Western fashion
Evolution of Chinese Dress
- While the cheungsam was originally a relatively loose sheath dress that came to the ankles, over time, the national dress of China changed with trends in women's fashions in the West. The cheungsam was made shorter or longer, with slits of varying lengths, depending upon the style. Sleeves could be short or long, or the cheungsam could be made sleeveless
The Revolution
- During the course of the Communist revolution, the cheungsam fell out of favor as men and women alike wore simple, practical and unadorned trouser suits. Fabrics were rationed, making the elegant silks of the Qing Dynasty and republic impossible to obtain
Modern Chinese Dress
- The cheungsam is still produced and sold today, in both silks and synthetic fabrics. These dresses are a favorite of both tourists and natives alike in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Moreover, the traditional Chinese dress has remained an inspiration for designers in China today, including Sun Jian
The Traditional Chinese Qipao Dress
If you are going to a formal Chinese social gathering, and you are unsure of what to wear, you should consider getting a qipao. A popular garment for Chinese citizens and tourists, the qipao-also known as cheongsam-is a form-fitting dress with a long history of Chinese culture and tradition
Legend- According to Chinese legend, a young fisherwoman, both beautiful and clever, created the qipao for convenience. The qipao, designed with slits on the sides, enabled the young fisherwoman to tuck in the front piece of her dress and catch fish more easily. One night, the young Chinese emperor saw the young fisherwoman in his dreams, and, upon finding her, he made her queen. Manchu women then began dressing like the queen, popularizing the qipao
History
- The qipao originated from the Manchus living under the Eight Banner System. Beginning in the 17th century, Manchu rulers organized Manchus into political institutions called "banners" (qi), and all the Manchus were known as "banner people" (qiren). The qipao, directly translated as "banner dress," was the typical clothing for Manchu women at the time. The Qing Dynasty, ruled by the Manchus, was overthrown during the 1911 Revolution, but the qipao remained popular for many years afterward
Features
- Known for its simple and quiet charm, the qipao is a dress with a high neck and closed collar. The dress fits loosely around the chest and tightly around the waist. It is buttoned on the right and has slits rising from the bottom of the dress up to mid-thigh on both sides. The length of the dress may be knee-length or floor-length. Most qipaos are made from silk and decorated with floral designs and embroidery
Types
- Several different types of qipaos exist to flatter women of all shapes and sizes. Qipaos with shorter collars are designed to elongate shorter necks, and qipaos with three-quarter sleeves are designed to hide flesh in the upper arms. Qipao separates are also available for women who prefer two-piece garments. Qipaos are typically crafted to fit specific body measurements, but with the increased availability of ready-to-wear clothing throughout the 20th century, off-the-rack qipaos have become more widespread
Uses
- Qipaos are worn not only by the average Chinese person but also by influential people on special occasions: Young girls wear qipaos to celebrate the New Year; brides wear them to their weddings; and movie stars and wives of diplomats have been seen sporting qipaos at social functions. In addition, qipaos have become a source of inspiration for renowned fashion designers
