Elegant black dress reinterpreting the traditional qipao through a contemporary lens, made to measure. The front features a curved cut-out above the bust, connecting the upper and lower sections with black frog closures.
The upper front extends into a single lace panel that wraps around to the back, forming a fully open oval-shaped back down to the lower spine. This contrast between sheer lace and opaque fabric defines the structure of the garment.
The dress is sleeveless, with a fitted upper body that opens from the waist into a longer silhouette. A mandarin collar fastens with a metal frog closure, reinforcing the reference.
The piece is accompanied by mid-length gloves, combining opaque fabric with lace extensions that partially cover the hands.
Role: Full responsibility for design, pattern making, and garment construction.
