This traditional Chinese style Qipao dress is made in pink cherry blossom brocade, with pink frog closure and side zipper. Includes matching velvet shoes. This Qipao was designed by Carpatina to fit 18"
American Girl and other soft-torso 18” “dress-up” dolls, including Kingstate’s
Friendship Girls and the Springfield Collection.
Often referred to (in English) as the cheongsam (which is really a traditional
outfit for males) or mandarin
gown, the Qipao is a body-hugging one-piece dress for women. In the 17th century, Manchurian conquerors (Qing
Dynasty) who invaded the Ming Dynasty created a law that outlawed the native Hanfu
clothing and replaced them with the Qipao.
