The cheongsam

Cheongsam stems from a kind of long robe worn by both men and women of the north minority nationalities in China. To keep warm, the collar of the costume was made high and tight-fitting. Cheongsam has incorporated this feature, not just for preventing coldness but for beauty. The collar of cheongsam generally takes the shape of a semicircle, its right and left sides being symmetrical, flattering the soft and slender neck of a woman. Also, against the woman's lips and chin, it brings out her sex appeal. The front of cheongsam is rather ordinary, loose and tight. To be more exact, its bust girth is appropriate. The design of the front of cheongsam is simple and flowing without any decoration. To display the protruding breast of a woman, the designers make the waist girth appear as thin as possible to represent the high breast indirectly; by means of the flat back of cheongsam they highlight the wavy shape of the breast. Cheongsams may have a variety of sleeves. Consider cheongsam without sleeves first. Quite contrary to the traditional cheongsam with a protrusive front and tiny waist, sleeveless, cheongsam exposes a woman's slender arms, making her feel comfortably cool, on the other hand, showing the ingenuity of the designer. For example, there are long-length sleeves, elbow-length sleeves, cornet sleeves, double sleeves, etc. The cuffs of cheongsam are so varied that they are too numerous to mention one by one. The cuffs set off women's hands and wrists, to reveal the delicacy of their hand and their feminine beauty expressive of rich sentiment. Cheongsam generally has two big openings at either side of the hem for convenient movement and display of the slender legs of women. Unlike a short-length skirt, the openings of cheongsam expose a woman's legs indistinctly when she walks. Cheongsam can express the elegance of a woman's legs vividly and involve the most complicated and active aesthetic imagination. ylym.mp3 <<Scroll Down beauty, cheongsam, china, dress, qipao
