About This Experience
Step into the golden age of Shanghai and have a qipao (cheongsam) custom-made for you. Learn about the history of Shanghai-style tailoring that blended Suzhou embroidery with French couture, select your fabric and patterns, get professionally measured, and watch master tailors demonstrate the intricate pankou knot button technique. Your finished qipao will be delivered within 3-5 days.
Cultural Significance
Shanghai qipao tailoring is a municipal intangible cultural heritage. The 1920s-40s golden age saw qipao evolve from loose Manchu robes to fitted silhouettes that defined modern Chinese femininity, earning comparisons to 'Oriental Rococo' at the Met.
