Crafted from the finest handwoven Xiabu fabric, our cheongsam begins with premium Wanzai ramie fibers processed through traditional methods: dew-bleaching under natural sunlight, hand-spinning into delicate yet strong yarns, and weaving on antique wooden looms to create the distinctive Xiabu texture. The fabric's natural ivory hue (or soft plant-dyed shades) provides the perfect canvas for the cheongsam's classic silhouette.
Each garment features a fitted bodice, mandarin collar, and side slits – hallmarks of cheongsam design – tailored to flatter modern figures while preserving traditional aesthetics. The 114cm extra-wide Xiabu fabric allows for seamless panels without unsightly seams, enhancing the garment's elegance. Intricate hand-stitched details include bound button loops and handmade frog closures, with optional subtle embroidery inspired by traditional Chinese motifs like peonies or cranes. Available in sizes XS to XL, each piece undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure authenticity and durability.
