Yellow sleeveless cheongsam

This yellow sleeveless cheongsam comes with a matching jacket. Unlike most traditional cheongsam, it does not have any flap and zipper on the sides. Instead, the zipper is placed at the back of the dress in the centre. The cheongsam belonged to the late Datin Aw Cheng Hu, daughter of Mr. Aw Boon Par. Mr. Aw was a philanthropist best known for introducing the heat rub, Tiger Balm. The cheongsam and jacket were made by Shanghainese tailors with fabric bought from High Street. Datin Aw also had a matching set of jewellery for each cheongsam.
