Chinese culture and dress

You must be attracted by the charming Chinese ladies who are dressing Cheongsam, it is Qipao also, during the period of Beijing 2008 Olympics.
The close-fitting woman's dress of Manchurian style with high neck and slit skirt, popularly called qipao in China, is expected to play the role of being the chief female dress for Chinese during the Beijing Olympics. Qipao belongs not only to China but to the whole world. It has made its way overseas and has been all the rage in England, America, Germany and Arabia and is held in high esteem in most other countries of the world.
Chinese women still love qipao principally because it is simple and elegant, suitable for reflecting the beauty of the female body. In other words, this dress can manifest to the full the merit of the wearer's body and minimize the demonstration of its demerit. For example, a woman may have bandy legs or clubbed legs. But if she puts on her qipao she will instantly become graceful in appearance, standing tall and erect.
