Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Defied tradition (of wearing red, pink, gold or any other bright colours) and made myself a black and white cheongsam for the Chinese New Year. Inspired by one of the twenty cheongsams featured in “In The Mood for Love”. Recycled the bodice for my Tulip Cheongsam last year and extended the bottom with an A-line.
Material Notes
Cotton by Kathy Hall and acetate lining

I love that you made a cheongsam in a non-traditional fabric!

Thank you! It’s one of the ways to help cheongsam make a come back to everyday-wear. Silk brocade are sometimes stereotyped as “waitress uniforms”.

Thank you Leslie! The fabric is the highlight of the dress. I definitely hope to “casualize” and modernize the cheongsam.

This is so pretty! I love the 60s style cheongsams from In the Mood for Love, yours definitely does them justice!
