Ruby Qi Pao Dress

The Queen of Qi Paos, 旗袍! Also known as a Cheongsam 长衫, this is a style of Chinese dress popularized in the 1920s and '40s by socialites and high society women in Shanghai. It's a tailored, figure skimming design that accentuates curves and embodies femininity. In our take on the dress, we lengthened the sleeves (cap sleeves are just a no), added a side pocket (!), and loosened the fit for a more flattering and modern spin on a legendary classic.  This dress is a champion of details.  100% hand dyed xiang yun sha silk The Ruby print is a lightweight, buttery silk with natural variations and color and tone, due to the dye process.  Silk frog clasps closures throughout with hand detailing Jade stone buttons Side pocket Slits on both side seams Hidden back zipper  Runs true to size: take your normal size. If you're in between sizes we recommend sizing up as silk doesn't stretch and is better worn loose and comfortably. For exact measurements, please email info@theziran.com Model is weari
