Vintage qipao crafted from black jacquard satin, embellished with refined oriental motifs depicting dragons, phoenixes, and stylized flowers in shades of gold, coral red, powder blue, and jade green. A rich symbolic iconography that evokes prosperity, rebirth, harmony, and strength, lending the garment a timeless charm. The long, slender silhouette delicately follows the lines of the body, enhancing femininity. The traditional high Mandarin collar is paired with the iconic diagonal closure, accented by refined braided two-tone satin frog fasteners, crafted according to the Chinese tailoring tradition. The short, shaped sleeves and black piping further define the structure of the model, while deep side slits add movement and sensuality to the figure. Originating in the early 20th century and made famous in 1920s and 1930s Shanghai, the qipao remains one of the most elegant symbols of Chinese women's fashion today. This vintage piece perfectly interprets its essence, blending refinement, seduction, and decorative richness in a garment with great scenic impact. Ideal for ceremonies and special events.
