This 1940s Traditional Red Plaid Qipao is centered around a red plaid pattern and keeps the slim, full length proportions commonly seen in Old Shanghai cheongsam styles. The design features a mandarin collar, asymmetrical front closure, short sleeves, and a low slit, creating a clear silhouette with a more complete visual presence. The silk fabric has a medium weight, a soft touch, and a slight stretch, which helps the skirt keep its shape more easily and makes it suitable for everyday wear, photography, or occasions that call for a slightly more formal look.

The red plaid pattern adds a clear sense of depth to the dress, while the short sleeves and low slit make it easier to move in. Compared with cheongsam styles that rely on heavy decoration, this piece focuses more on the cut, fabric, and pattern itself, creating a stronger retro feel that works especially well for everyday settings.

Size Guide

Please compare your body measurements with the size chart on each cheongsam product page, as sizing varies across different cheongsam styles and fabrics. Chinese sizing standards differ from common overseas sizing, and our overall fits typically run smaller.

For cheongsams, we recommend adding 2-3 centimeters to your body measurements for a comfortable fit, or adding 3-5 centimeters or more for a looser fit.

When selecting your size, please prioritize the widest part of your body, whether that is your bust or your hips.

1.Measurement Guide

Please take your body measurements and compare them with the size chart under each cheongsam to find the right size for you.

Care Instructions

Cheongsams are crafted from delicate fabrics including silk, cotton linen, brocade, and often feature intricate embroidery details. Gentle, proper care will preserve the garment’s structured fit, exquisite details, and extend its wear life.

1.Hand Wash (Recommended Method)

Water Temperature: We recommend using cold or lukewarm water only. High water temperatures can damage fabric fibers, resulting in shrinkage, color fading, or distortion of the garment.
Detergent: Please use a mild detergent to clean your cheongsam. For mulberry silk garments, do not use soap, laundry powder, or standard liquid laundry detergents. Silk will fade when exposed to alkaline chemicals. We recommend using a gentle body wash with cold water for light, careful hand washing.
Washing Steps: Submerge your cheongsam gently in water, add a small amount of detergent and mix evenly. Clean the garment by gently pressing with your hands only. Do not rub vigorously, scrub with a brush, or wring out the fabric. After soaking for 5 to 10 minutes, remove the garment and rinse thoroughly until all detergent residue is gone.

2.Machine Wash (Thick Cotton Linen Fabric Only, No Embroidery or Frog Buttons)

Place the cheongsam in a mesh laundry bag to prevent tangling and abrasion during the wash cycle. Select your washing machine’s gentle or delicate cycle, and use cold water for the entire process to minimize fabric damage.

Important Note: Cheongsams with embroidery, frog buttons, or made from silk or brocade fabrics must not be machine washed, to avoid damage to the garment’s craftsmanship and fabric.

3.Drying Instructions

Removing Excess Moisture: Gently press the cheongsam between clean, soft towels to absorb excess water from the garment. Never wring out the fabric, as this will distort the garment’s fit and shape.
Drying: Lay the cheongsam flat on a clean towel, or hang it on a hanger with wide shoulders in a cool, well ventilated area to air dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause fabric fading and fiber brittleness.
