I made a blue cheongsam top late last year.
When I bought that fabric, I also bought this beautiful red silk fabric to be
made into this red cheongsam or qipao dress from my lovely cousin who’s getting
married very soon.
The fabric is a bit more challenging to
work with because it’s very slippery and it frays a lot. In the end I have to
use anti fray liquid to stop it from further fraying.
The pattern is just gorgeous and I had to
alter it to make it into a tight fitting dress. Original pattern was more
casual in look and recommended fabric was cotton.
