The extremely elegant and feminine Cheongsam is a quintessential Chinese women's dress of the 20th century - in its modern form, a fusion of traditional Chinese costume and western fashion. This book contains a wonderful selection of historical and new photographs, cutting schemes, embroidery details and vector drawings of typical decorative elements such as dragons, peacocks and floral designs.
