A turquoise sleeveless cheongsam with floral embroidery

This is a turquoise ankle-length cheongsam embellished with floral embroidery.When the cheongsam first emerged as a fashion style in the 1920s and 1930s, it was worn long with the hem ending at the ankles. As shorter hemlines became popular in the 1950s and 1960s, long cheongsams were worn mostly as evening wear or on more formal occasions.
