This QiPao top is a made-to-measure top inspired by Chinese traditional clothes for women: QiPao. Although it is a traditional clothing, I designed it to be more modern and fitted to the body, keeping the traditional design but in a more subtle way so it’s still suitable for everyday wear.

The level of this top is at least advanced-beginner with lots of freedom to the structure of the garment.
