The cheongsam is a traditional Chinese dress that has a long history since its inception. Cheongsam as they are known today means 'long dress', but they were originally known as qipao. They first appeared in the 17th century China during the Qing Dynasty in its basic form. It was basically a one-piece suit dress that covered the wearer from neck to foot and were long-sleeved. There were some variants that consisted of a two-piece dress set, a pair of trousers with long overdress. Over the years, as the qipao evolved, it became more stylized and in the 1920s it was modernized to become more fitted to the wearer. With the more flattering and sexier look, the qipao was increasingly worn by high-class courtesans and celebrities, this popularized this style of oriental dress. As the style of the dress evolved, it started to become known more as cheongsam (or long dress).

Cheongsam are not often worn nowadays during daily wear as they can seem a bit took 'sexy' and dressed up. Some companies and businesses do employ them in their workforce. This would include chinese restaurants and some airlines have variations of the cheongsam. Most cheongsams are made of pure silk, cloth, brocade, or wool.
