Green is a code of spring. Now if you want to enjoy a warm spring, choose the green sleeveless Cheongsam. It is made of green silk brocade with big blooming peony patterns. In Chinese culture, peony is the queen of flowers, so it is the symbol of wealth and high position. Only the woman of noble family is entitled to be in Cheongsam with peony patters. V-neck collar decorated with two hand-made frog buttons is different from the traditional mandarin collar. Frog button is a kind of traditional handicraft and it needs a lot of labor. Both sides are made with slits toward the thigh and the length of the Cheongsam is to ankle. An invisible zipper is on the right side, so it is easy for you to wear. Be creative with accessories. (handbag, bracelet, etc) On a sunny afternoon, having a cup of tea in the front porch or the backyard in your house, you will spend a pleasant time with your family.
