Emerald Green Brocaded Rayon Qipao Dress

1950s · 1940s-1950s · Hong Kong Chinese

Three fitted qipao dresses displaying the characteristic high mandarin collar, asymmetrical front closure, and body-skimming silhouette. The green dress features long fitted sleeves and an all-over floral brocade pattern. The purple dress shows short sleeves with the same fitted bodice construction. The orange dress displays a sleeveless design with large contrasting floral motifs arranged vertically down the front. All three demonstrate the modernized qipao silhouette popular in post-war Hong Kong, with knee-length hemlines and precise tailoring that follows the natural body line without excessive ease.
