　　qipao, an elegant Chinese clothing, originates from China's Manchu Nationality. In the Qing Dynasty, cheongsam was a loose robe worn by royal women. In the 1920s, influenced by Western clothing, cheongsam underwent some changes. For example, the cuffs went narrower, and the dress got shorter. These changes have brought female beauty into full play.

　　Today, Qipao often appears in world-class fashion shows. When Chinese women attend important social gatherings, qipao is often their first choice. Many Chinese brides also choose cheongsam as their wedding dress. Some influential people even suggest making cheongsam the national costume of Chinese women.
