This is a sleeveless pink satin cheongsam decorated with floral motif down the bodice. It has a nipped in waist which was popular in the 1950s and 1960s. The flap on the right hand side is secured by press studs. The sleeves are made from one piece of fabric folded at the shoulder and hemmed at the sides and sleeves. Machine-sewn by the donor’s grandmother, it was worn by the donor’s mother on her wedding day in the 1930s.
