A cheongsam for a black tie event. The usual would be a full length in luxurious fabric.
Cheongsam is an honest creature. It fits snugly, and very close to the body, presents its wearer just as she is. Cheongsam, without a doubt, shows the best side of a proportional voluptuous body, but it was our challenge to pair it with the athletic body-type.
Our solution is a halter cheongsam cut low at the sides, and plunges to a very low back. A contrasting trim extends from the mandarin collar, and increases in width up to floor length, sitting atop a short train. The thick trim is then tied to form a neat 2-tone bow, introducing curves where necessary.
