11 What are the forms of cheongsam, traditional and modern

This depends on your body shape and preferences, first of all, there are long and short, split and straight circumference. The cheongsam is very particular about the position of the buckle. This is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

It's best to buy a magazine and take a look, there are special cheongsam magazines. I've bought it before. I also like cheongsam very much, and I have two personal collections, which are pressed to the bottom of the box.

The cheongsam is characterized by an open or semi-open placket with a large right placket, a stand-up collar and a button, a swing side slit, a single piece of clothing, a cinched waist, sleeveless or short sleeves, etc. The slit is just one of the many features of the cheongsam, it is not the only one, and it is not necessary. The cheongsam style is characterized by absorbing Western art, which is new, flexible and diverse, and has a strong commercial atmosphere; It has an official style and appears reserved and concise.

There are many styles of cheongsam, including the placket, the pipa placket, the oblique placket, and the double placket; There are high collars, low collars, and no collars; The cuffs are long-sleeved, short-sleeved, sleeveless; There are high slits and low slits; There are also long cheongsam, short cheongsam, clip cheongsam, single cheongsam, etc.

The changes in the style of cheongsam are mainly changes in sleeves and plackets. The main styles of sleeves are: wide sleeves, narrow sleeves, long sleeves, medium sleeves, short sleeves or sleeveless.

The placket styles mainly include round placket, straight placket, square placket, pipa placket, etc.: round placket cheongsam dress - the line at the placket is round and smooth; Straight-placked cheongsam dress - this style is suitable for women with a plump body and a round face, which can make the figure appear slender; Square cheongsam dress - the placket has been boldly reformed to fit different face shapes.

As a traditional Chinese costume, cheongsam was popular in the 20s of the 20th century, and it is also the object of admiration by many women in contemporary times. It is not only light and fit, but also fully reflects the beautiful posture and smooth lines of women.

Plant ornaments, animal ornaments, cloud ornaments, swastikas, and some totemic ornaments, these are relatively common.

Lilies, plum blossoms, double fishes, floral patterns, geometric patterns, T-shaped chains, etc., these patterns are very distinctive and very popular.

Cheongsam sleeves can be mainly divided into: wide sleeve shape, narrow sleeve shape; Sleeveless, raglan sleeves. Small cap sleeves, quarter sleeves.

Three-quarter-sleeved, nine-quarter-sleeved or long-sleeved, and so on. Among them, long sleeves are mostly in the Manchu people, and now they are mainly short-sleeved or sleeveless, and the common ones in autumn and winter are seven-quarter sleeves, nine-quarter sleeves, and long-sleeved. Usually short sleeves are 4 inches long, middle sleeves are about 16 inches, and long sleeves are 19 to 20 inches.

1.Sleeveless. The sleeveless style is a universal model, and it can be controlled by both fat and thin, tall and short, young and old.

Maggie Cheung's sleeveless cheongsam in the film and television work "In the Mood for Love" is particularly classic. The biggest feature of the sleeveless cheongsam is that it is cool and comfortable, revealing a whole arm, so it is most suitable for summer wear.

2.Raglan sleeves. Slightly longer than sleeveless, it covers the shoulders with clothing, but it does not look very rigid, but naturally fits the curvature of our shoulders, making the shoulders look very soft, and the raglan sleeves can highlight the curve of the shoulders well.

For example, the cheongsam that Tang Wei wears in the color ring, some of them are raglan sleeves.

3.Small cap sleeves. If you look fat at the junction of the shoulders and arms, but you don't want to choose a cheongsam with too long sleeves, a cheongsam with small covered sleeves is a more suitable choice.

Because it covers part of the hand, it doesn't look too fat. The disadvantage is that if the fabric used in the cheongsam is not stretchy, it will be a little stuck in the arm and restrict movement.

4.Quarter-sleeved. It is a common sleeve type, with a length of about 28 cm, and this sleeve shape is very suitable for women with more fleshy arms, which can properly cover the arms.

5.Mid sleeve. It is easy to look mature and is more suitable for young women, so it is more prudent to choose a mid-sleeved cheongsam. In addition, women with thicker arms are not suitable for mid-sleeved cheongsam, which will appear to have thick and short arms.

6.Three-quarter sleeves. It is a length that is more suitable for spring and autumn, with a length of 40cm and 43cm. The advantage of this sleeve is that it exposes the slender wrists, and it will actually feel cold at the wrists when you wear it in early spring and late autumn, and the three-quarter sleeves are a good choice in late spring and early autumn.

7.Cropped sleeves. Basically, it is a cheongsam sleeve that only exposes the wrist, and the length is generally 50 cm or more, which can show the slender wrist well. Cropped sleeves are more suitable for autumn and winter with a coat than long sleeves.

8.Long sleeves. The length of the sleeves covers the wrists, generally more than 55 cm, but the long sleeves are more provocative, which is very suitable for women with a graceful temperament, but when the weather is cold, it is warmer to wear a long-sleeved cheongsam.

The reason why many people can't wear long sleeves is that they don't have enough energy.

9.The ruffle sleeve ruffle sleeve style is particularly good-looking, layered, and looks very fashionable and beautiful when combined with the cheongsam. There is not much difference in the length of ruffle sleeves and small bag sleeves, ruffle sleeves are just like the name, they are ruffled sleeves, and they have a sense of design.

Judging by the placket of the cheongsam:

There are usually seven types of cheongsam, including single, double, straight, oblique, pipa, curved and non-placket.

Judging by the collar type of cheongsam:

There are many types of cheongsam collars, and there are eight common styles: traditional stand-up collar, penguin collar, impatiens collar, collarless, drop collar, bamboo leaf collar, horseshoe collar, etc.

Judging by the sleeve shape of the cheongsam:

It can be roughly divided into sleeveless, shaved shoulders, short sleeves, three-quarter sleeves, eight-quarter sleeves, long sleeves, narrow sleeves, bell sleeves, large bell sleeves, horseshoe sleeves, etc.

The cheongsam basically has the following characteristics in appearance: the open or semi-open form of the right placket, the stand-up collar button, the swing side slit, the flat cut of the single piece of fabric, the body and sleeves, etc. The slit is just one of the many features of the cheongsam, it is not the only one, and it is not absolutely necessary.

Most of the ancient cheongsams used straight lines, with a loose body, slits on both sides, and the bust and waist circumference were relatively close to the size of the dress. The modern cheongsam has entered the era of three-dimensional modeling, with a darts on the piece, a more fitting waist and Western-style sleeves, the length of the cheongsam, the sleeves are long and shortened, and the waist is more and more fitted.

Up to now, cheongsam has always adhered to the purpose of making women more beautiful, integrating into the trend and catching up with the times. To this day, the cheongsam is still synonymous with beauty and elegance.

Personally, I think the cheongsam can highlight the beauty of the curves, test the figure, and reflect the oriental beauty and classical beauty.

The most conspicuous feature of the cheongsam: the right placket, the standing collar buckle, and the side swing slit.

There is a note on the cheongsam: "The cheongsam, originally a kind of clothing worn by Manchu women in the Qing Dynasty, has no slits on both sides, sleeves are eight inches to one foot long, and the edges of the clothes are embroidered with colored green. After the Xinhai Revolution, it was accepted by Han women and improved to:

Straight collar, right diagonal opening, tight waist, knee-length, slits on both sides, cuffs narrowed. ”

Zhou Xibao believes in his book "History of Ancient Chinese Costumes": "Manchu women's robes ......This robe was extremely wide at first, but gradually changed to a small waist, and its time was close to the eve of the Xinhai Revolution. This kind of robe later evolved into one of the main costumes of Han women, that is, it was later called cheongsam.
