china dress
The China dress or Chinese dress, more properly called a cheongsam (Cantonese) or qipao (Mandarin), was introduced in Qing-era China (1600s) but did not evolve into its current form until the early 20th century. It is a form-fitting, one-piece dress. It buttons up on the right with a diagonal flap across the breasts, and has side slits up both legs.
In anime they are often really short or the slits really long.
Frequently appears in conjunction with double bun and bun cover.
Do not use this tag if the clothing is not a dress, even if it's a shirt or vest with a qipao style. Just add chinese clothes.
For example, Hong Meiling's default outfit is not a dress.
