Description

I adapted the slopers from Built By Wendy Dresses and drafted the stand collar to create this cheongsam for the lunar new year in February. It’s inspired by one of my fave films “In the Mood for Love”. More info on my blog.

Material Notes

2 metres stretch cotton sateen, 3 frog closures

    Wow, that looks very good. Did I see it right and does it have the closure from the neck to the side like most cheongsams do?
