Cheongsam, the traditional dress of Chinese women in China and the world, is known as the quintessence of China and the national dress of women.

Although its definition and the time of its production are still controversial, it is still one of the most splendid phenomena and forms in China's long-standing dress culture.Cheongsam became the most common women's dress in the Republic of China after the 1920s.
