一说传统大家就想旗袍...

可具体说款式、剪裁神马的真不会...

说说它的特点，举几个例子说明谁比较喜欢穿，在什么场合穿，就OK了!

先叙述下要说的东西

I’d like to talk about Qipao, which is a traditional Chinese gown for ladies.

It was created about 100 years ago, and was first made fashionable by socialites and upper class women as stylish party dress.

谈具体特征

This kind of dress is full of Chinese flavor, on some international occasions, it’s like a symbol of China.

And it’s always made of silk, which is also a typical Chinese fabric. It is the kind of material that makes a piece of clothes look more gorgeous and chic, and of course, of higher quality.

And the patterns on the dress tend to be flowers and birds, which represent vigor and youth.

说女性为什么喜欢

This kind of dress is tight-fitting and brings out the attractive figure of women, you know, makes them look more sexy and elegant.

That’s why we can always see people wear them in formal occasions, like ceremonies or important meetings.

For example, every time our First Lady went to visit national leaders in foreign countries, she would always take several pieces with her.

And Song Meiling, who used to be the first lady of Republic of China, never showed up in public without wearing Qipao.

从其他角度讲它的现状

Not only in China, now countless foreigners have also become big fans of it. I mean, it’s not uncommon to see actors wearing this kind of dress in foreign movies.

Oh, I almost forgot, now we have upgraded Qipao a little bit.

The modernized style is more functional and better suits our taste.

For example, sometimes we make the hemline shorter and a lot wider, so that ladies are more comfortable when they walk in it.
