The cheongsam is most often seen as a longer, figure-fitting, one piece garment with a standing collar, an asymmetric, left-over-right (youren) opening and two side slits, and embellished with Chinese frog fasteners on the lapel and the collar. It was developed in the 1920s and evolved in shapes and design over years. This one is black polyester (mimicking silk) with pink, purple and white florals and light green leaves and trim. It says Medium but fits more like a small. One pick (pictured) in white thread. Very clean - zipper and frog-hooks in great shape. No rips or holes, no stains. Absolutely stunning!
