Cheungsam: (history of)

(http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/hsc/evrev/)
The qipao is recognised by most people as the classic Chinese garment for women. Qipao is a Mandarin word which means Manchu banner robe. Judging from its name, the qipao originates from Manchu dress of the Qing dynasty. It was a simple garment, essentially made from two pieces of cloth cut to follow the form of a woman's body, with slits at the sides to allow for ease of movement.

It was an extremely versatile garment that could be made from any sort of fabric, to different lengths and with long or short sleeves. Many people will be more familiar with the Cantonese term for the garment which is cheungsam, meaning long shirt.

Political, economic and social change

The early twentieth century was a period of political, economic and social change. Increased contact with the West, through trade, resulted in an exchange of culture and ideas. This was a significant time for women. A new Western concept was that of gender equality, and this encouraged community leaders in their campaign for women's freedom: to receive an education, to choose a career and determine their marriage partners. Educated women and those from wealthy families took the opportunity to experiment with these new possibilities. (Roberts, 1997: 55)

The cheungsam - which was born alongside a growing awareness of women's rights - symbolised this transition. It is significant that Chinese women, after being released from such restrictive traditions, selected the cheungsam as their national dress. The women portrayed on the calendar posters dressed in sleeveless cheungsam with high side-slits, illustrate one aspect of women's new found freedom. (Roberts, 1997: 64)
The centre of Chinese fashion at the turn of the century was the coastal city of Shanghai. A leading and prosperous metropolis in China before World War II, Shanghai had such a reputation as a centre for women's fashion it was called the Paris of the East. The evolution of the cheungsam in Hong Kong, along with other cities in China, kept abreast of the trends in Shanghai. The earliest style of cheungsam was loosely fitted and ankle length. Over time, hem lines rose to mid-calf or knee length. Sleeves varied, from long to medium length to small capped sleeves, or a Western-style frilled sleeve might be added. Some were sleeveless. The stand collars were sometimes stiffened and could go as high as the ears. The cheungsam became increasingly tight-fitting and side-slits rose higher. (Roberts, 1997: 59-60)
The cheungsam was the most popular form of female dress in Hong Kong from the 1930s to the 1960s. It has remained popular with certain groups of women in Hong Kong, Taiwan and in Chinese communities throughout the world.

Although the collar and right-fastening lapel of Manchu dress are reflected in the cheungsam that's where the similarity ends. The loose fitting styles and the extended wide sleeves of late 19th century dress were quite different to the form fitting cheungsam.

Fabrics for cheungsam

The cheungsam was made from a variety of fabrics depending on the season and the occasion:

Silk
Synthetics
Brocade
Wool
Velvet
Cotton
Lace
Satin
Silk
cotton wadding and fur linings were also used.

Fabric decoration

Indantren dye (originally from India) was widely used for plain dyed fabrics worn more frequently by working women. In addition to beautiful, high quality silk brocade fabrics, more affluent women were able to have highly decorated cheungsam featuring:
embroidery
sequins
application of trims.Embroidery patterns were initially traditional, featuring flowers and symbolic motifs. As contact with the West increased the influence was seen in the motifs.

Toggles

Decorative toggles, known as huaniu, are made to fasten traditional style qipao or cheungsam. The knotted head is regarded as male and the pair with an eye, female. Huaniu used for collars are usually the same size whereas those used to fasten the right of the lapel are different sizes; the smaller section being sewn close to the shoulder. While the cheungsam has varied over time in shape, colour, material and design features, one fundamental element has remained the same: this is the knotted buttons and loops generally known as huaniu or panhuaniu, which are stitched to fasten the collar and lapel. Huaniu may be a small feature but they should not be overlooked: they represent the soul of the cheungsam and provide a distinctive Chinese character. Huaniu are the product of thousands of years of traditional knotting craft and the designs and compositions vary from the plain to intricate. Traditional designs include floral, animal and insect motifs, and auspicious symbols, such as pomegranates and the Chinese character shou, signifying fertility and longevity. Most huaniu on cheungsam are designed to match the pattern of the fabric and the colour of the braided trim on the collar cuff and hem. (Roberts, 1997: 61-2)
Cheungsam of the fifties and sixties

In the fifties and sixties the cheungsam was the glamour garment - virtually everyone had at least one. Different styles of cheungsam differentiated one's class or profession.

The 1960s movie The World of Suzie Wong featured Suzie Wong wearing a mini cheungsam.

Who wears the cheungsam today?

By the end of the seventies few Chinese women wore the cheungsam; it was mostly worn by:
older women 'usually with a Western-style jacket of matching material for more formal dress' (Roberts, 1997: 63). Many of these women go to the same tailor they have used for years, the tailor has their measurements and knows their preference for various fabrics.
actors and wealthy women still wear what some regard as Hong Kong's national costume.
school girls comprise a large clientele for the cheungsam tailor as a number of Hong Kong schools continue to use it as the basis for their school uniform. The uniforms are tailored for each student based on their measurements but unlike the ones worn by the actors it is loose fitting - more like the traditional male long robe or cheungsam.The cheungsam in the 21st century

After the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997 there has been an increased interest in symbols of national identity such as dress. Young designers and young people in Hong Kong are wearing the cheungsam in new and different ways.

Charmaine Leung, a fashion designer wears her off-the-peg cheungsam 'fitted and made from traditional style silk brocade, in colours such as red, black or dark blue.' with 'loafers, a cardigan wrapped round her waist and backpack.' (Roberts, 1997: 73)
