Content: Chinese Clothing during Qing Dynasty
During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), clothes became elegant, poised, and glorious. During the 200 years of the Qing Empire, the entire world witnessed dramatic changes such as the Renaissance in Italy and Columbus's discovery of the Americas, but the changes did not affect traditional Chinese clothing because China had a closed-door policy. People still wore clothes showing rank and lifestyle. The retreat from outside cultures has left a precious heritage for traditional Chinese clothes. Chinese Clothing from 1930s till Modern Era
Chinese clothing from 1930s till now, Qipao has become into fashion since then. During 1930s to 1940s, dress is further westernized, tailored to flatter body shape. During 1940s to 1960s, Qipao (Cheongsam) survives as everyday wear in Hong Kong until the late 1960s. Today many Chinese brides will choose modern style Qipao or Longfeng Kwa (traditional Chinese dress similar to Qipao) as their traditional suits on wedding ceremony.
