The cheongsam is a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women, also known as 旗袍 (qípáo), and Mandarin gown. The stylish and often tight-fitting cheongsam or qipao (chipao) that is best known today was created in the 1920s in 上海 (Shànghǎi) and made fashionable by socialites and upper class women.
