Shanghai-style cheongsam

In our impression, a solemn and elegant cheongsam photo is the standard for beauties in the Republic of China. Although the cheongsam originated from the place where the flagmen lived in Beijing, after the 20s of the last century, the innovation and prosperity of the cheongsam took place in Shanghai. The cheongsam loved by many women in the world today is typical of the cheongsam of the 30s, and the cheongsam of the 30s is modeled after the Shanghai-style cheongsam. It is conceivable that Shanghai at that time was the fashion center of Asia.
Different from the completely straight cut of the old-fashioned flag suit, the Shanghai-style cheongsam jumped out of the traditional limitations, the cut of the chest and waist is more formal, and began to use shoulder seams and sleeves, side slits, light fabrics, simple decorations, and elegant colors, fully reflecting the natural beauty of women.
Nowadays, there are still many custom-made shops in Shanghai, and Maoming South Road is the famous cheongsam street, with a large number of handmade cheongsam shops on both sides of the street to tailor clothes for customers.
