What is the difference between a cheongsam and a qipao?
1 Answer
The difference between a cheongsam and a qipao comes down to language. Cheongsam is a Cantonese word that means "long dress." In Mandarin, the same garment is called a qipao, which translates to "banner dress." You can call the traditional Chinese dress a qipao or a cheongsam and be correct.
