What is the traditional Chinese dress called?
China is a large country with a long history and there are many different cultural elements at play, many defining the style of dress over the years. One of the most popular dresses is a cheongsam or Qipao, which features a high collar, a loose chest, fitted waist and side slits. Even further back in history, the Hanfu was a popular dress style for the Han Chinese. On 1stDibs, shop vintage Chinese dresses from some of the world’s top fashion boutiques.
