This vintage Chinese cheongsam blue peony photographic print pongee silk qipao dress dates from the 1950s. It is made of an unbleached plain woven pongee raw silk fabric with a dark blue peony flower photographic print pattern design. In Chinese culture the peony is a symbol of wealth, power and class. This beautiful blue peony print Chinese cheongsam dress has a fitted style, knee length with small side slit vents, a stiffened mandarin collar, short cap sleeves, snaps, zipper closures along the side and is unlined. Manchu women wore a one-piece dress which were called "qipao" or "banner dress" and later became the traditional dress cheongsam for Chinese women. The dress measures 38 inches long, with a 34 inch chest, 23 inch waist, 34 inch hips, 13 inch neck and 14 inch back. It is in excellent condition. This is truly a wonderful quality custom made piece of Chinese cheongsam wearable art!
