Cheongsam is a traditional dress of Chinese women suitable subject for the celebration of Lunar New Year, which this year falls on February 3, 2011. One-piece dress was first created in Shanghai, before it evolved into something more fashionable and fit body.
Cheongsam has a characteristic high-necked and available in a variety of sleeve sizes, ranging from short-sleeve, medium, or long. In addition, this clothing also has buttons on the right side, with the chest and a loose fitting at the waist so that highlights the beauty of feminine curves.
Unfortunately, not all women have the perfect body shape like a model. Consider some of these tips for selecting appropriate cheongsam your body shape.
Short Body
For a short, avoid cuts Boxy with pads on the shoulder because it will push down posture. In addition, the dress is too long also will create the effect of your body look shorter.
Shoulder width
For the broad-shouldered, avoid shoulder pads because it will make your upper body look heavier. Instead, select clothing made of lighter materials like silk to soften the silhouette of the body.
Skinny body
For those who were thin, select brocade material to increase the volume of the body and shape it look more curvy. Brocade is a heavy silk fabric with designs on it, which is generally sewn using gold or silver thread.
Arm sagged
For those who have flabby arms and sagged, select a cheongsam with a piece of three-quarter sleeves to hide the excess flesh.
Short neck
For the short-necked, select the model cheongsam with a lower collar so that helps make the neck seem more level. Meanwhile, long-necked women will look stunning with cheongsam high-cut neck.
Disproportionately
For those who have a disproportionate body shape, such as your upper body is heavier than the lower body or vice versa, select clothes separately (two-pieces). If part of a larger, select a cheongsam with a motive for superior print contrast, and color are much simpler to subordinates. Meanwhile, if the bottom of the larger body, straight-cut skirt is the most ideal choice.
