Description
Vintage Cheongsam Dress in a fabulous color block geometric print of red, orange, green, cranberry and a deep blue . This is a traditional Asian fitted wiggle dress with a mandarin collar, fitted bodice and long side slits to the hemline. There is a metal side zipper and a series of snaps to get into this fitted dress. The entire dress is satin lined in a red satin. There is beautiful red silk piping on many edges.. with several hand sewn details.
There is no fabric content label attached. This feels like a fine wool, however it might be rayon. The lining is red and feels like a silk.
This garment is in VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION…with a few tiny stains in the wool and in the lining. There is a small hole 1/2 the size of a dime in the lining as well..otherwise it looks great.
This dress is from the estate of an ambassador’s wife from Hong Kong. I purchased many of these dresses.. most were never worn and placed in storage in 2000. I would guess that this was from the 1960’s.
There is no size label attached. By the measurements, I would say that this is a WOMEN’S SIZE MEDIUM with a 29 inch waist
