What is a Chinese dressing gown called?
1 Answer
A Chinese dressing gown is called a cheongsam or a qipao. It is often styled as a high-necked, closely fitted dress with a slit on the side. Cheongsams were considered fashion-forward and influenced the rise of modern Chinese women in the 20th century. Shop a selection of cheongsams on 1stDibs.
