Wearing a cheongsam is a solemn and elegant dress! Zhang Weiwei: Clothes are a kind of language, everyone lives in their own clothes Happy Mature Age Updated on Jan 25, 2021 05:43 • Published on Jan 25, 2021 05:43

As a fan of Zhang and cheongsam, I have a white cheongsam top with black rolled edges and three-quarter wide sleeves, which is an old photo of Eileen Chang. I love cheongsam and have collected nearly 100 pieces. I can find a suitable cheongsam dress for any occasion. This love is not only to truly appreciate the beauty of cheongsam, but also to miss my mother forever.
Since I was a child, I have had an indescribable love for Chinese-style clothing. The floral jacket and thick-soled cotton shoes that my grandmother sewed for me by myself, accompanied me through the cold winter of childhood, and gave me warm memories.
After you have the ability to dress up yourself, you can choose cotton jackets, Chinese jackets and vests from Yuanling Street, and even when you travel to Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, you must seize the opportunity to buy ready-made Tang suits or materials, and order them within one day. Completable quick cheongsam. Every time I wear it, others always say that it suits me very well, and I also feel very good about myself.
When I was young, I had a fortune-telling time. The fortune-teller would look at the past and present. He said that I was a "person in the palace" in my past life. Although Zhang Lang always laughed that I must be the royal chef in the royal kitchen, I always thought that I, who love cheongsam so much, have the blood of a bannerman from my mother.
There are several well-preserved old photos. When you open them, you can see the beautiful images of my mother who passed away prematurely and is inlaid with yellow flags.
The graceful body, wearing a cheongsam with appropriate tailoring, some of which are made of beautiful cotton fabrics and embroidered shoes, standing in front of the bamboo fence, comfortable, plain and home; Charming and graceful with golden steps and earrings, she participated in the Christmas ball at the Air Force Base. Accidentally met the cheongsam master
The almighty Facebook has allowed me to meet a new and fashionable friend with excellent taste. I often see her wearing a tailored and graceful cheongsam on Facebook. Thanks to her generous recommendation, I have met a seven-year-old senior Ten, the old master who has made cheongsam for her for many years and is now retired. A cheongsam master from Zhejiang, who came to Taiwan at the age of eight, followed his master to learn tailoring at the age of fifteen. In the early years, there were more than a dozen or twenty brothers and sisters who studied art together. He was the fifth, and only a few of them were finally apprentices.
When I was young, I worked in a cheongsam shop opposite the Wanguo Theater in Ximending. Later, I went through "Southeast Cheongsam" on Xinyi Road, "Huamei Cheongsam" on Bo'ai Road, and "Han and Tang Cheongsam" on Zhongshan North Road, all of which are quite large-scale dress shops. After retiring, the old master, who had a lot of fun with his grandson, has already washed his hands with gold and no longer accepts new customers. He only occasionally makes a few pieces for old customers out of interest to pass the time.
He said: "In the past, people wore cheongsams, and the materials they wore at work were rough and could withstand washing. The materials of dignitaries and ladies were exquisite and exquisite, and they only wore several pieces when they came to the store, and the bills only took a few months. Knot once." In those days, the business was so good that there was no time to sew, and the masters worked extremely long hours, from early morning until 11 or 2 at night.
Miss China Li Xiuying, Jiang Qing from Wufeng of the League of Nations, Zhen Zhen's mother and daughter, Ran Xiaoling, Zheng Peipei, Tang Baoyun, Zhang Meiyao, Zhen Ni and other stars who starred in "Duck Raising Family", as well as the cheongsams of diplomats' wives and officials' wives. From the skillful hands of the masters, the embroidery, embroidered beads and edging on the cheongsam, all kinds of slow work and meticulous work, are all completed by him and his brothers one by one. The knowledge of cheongsam is the universe
The master said that the cheongsam is divided into Shanghai style and Fuzhou style, and there are differences between the two styles. The Shanghai style is mainly used for officials' wives and ladies. The lining and outer cloth must be cut separately when proofing. The inner part of the clothes is "finished" in the jargon, that is, the thread ends, car edges and other miscellaneous edges, inside the cheongsam The collection is clean, and even the fabrics that will be put away in the future are reserved for seams. The inside is opened and the whole is smooth and clean. It also pays attention to the change of body shape. According to the changing seasons and different occasions, new fabrics are selected for sewing.
The Fuzhou style is close to the daily wear of the common people, focusing on durability and suitability, and the inside is not carefully closed.
Ever since I met this noble person who finally allowed me to wear a cheongsam with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful dream of a Qing palace, I was like a dead tree in the spring, and I started to order a cheongsam happily and happily. At that time, I was still in the workplace. As long as I was free on the weekend, I immediately went to the cloth city to shop for fabrics. When I traveled to Beijing and other places, I would definitely visit the silk and satin villages and buy back chiffon, lace, brocade and silk of different colors. material.
The old master always thoughtfully took advantage of my spare lunch break and get off work hours to come to the office to discuss customized styles with me. For a cheongsam, it takes at least three to four runs before it is finished, from the measurement, two or three proofing, trying on, and modification.
For a fitted cheongsam, there are twenty-five measurements on the body that need to be carefully measured. Just one waist must be measured for the upper waist, small waist, middle waist and lower waist, as well as the length of the front waist, the length of the back waist, the left shoulder waist and the back shoulder waist... …. The master said that for a genuine handmade cheongsam, in addition to 80% of it is done by hand with meticulous stitches, the design of the fabric and the cheongsam is also the key point when it is cut.
The higher the collar of the cheongsam, the more spiritual it is, but it also depends on the length of the individual neck, fat and thin.
The sleeves with the most obvious cutting skills, the perfect sleeve arc and the angle of the shoulders are seamlessly connected, which can make women's shoulders round and sexy; the front of the chest is more important: straight and hearty, suitable for young girls, small The placket is dignified and pleasant, suitable for young women; the large round placket is graceful and extravagant, suitable for older women, and the pipa placket, which is curved like a porcelain vase, is lively and large, testing the cutting skills of the master. Wearing a cheongsam, the whole person is different
Every time there is an occasion, when he wears a new shiny cheongsam, Zhang Lang always says angrily, "Drink! Why is there a new one? How many cheongsams have you made?" Every time he sees him sighing, I am happy.
But when he raised the camera and left a picture of me wearing a cheongsam, Zhang Lang, who was looking at the photo, muttered to himself, "This cheongsam is really beautiful! Look at this material, and then look at this meticulous handwork. You have a loud voice, strong anger, and quick movements. Once you put on a cheongsam, how come you have completely changed? You have become graceful and graceful and graceful⁈"
It turns out that once you put on the cheongsam, the tight waist will make you naturally taller your chest and stomach, the stiff collar, you can't bow your head and your neck, the hem is properly narrow, and you can't walk too much. corrections and constraints.
When I was enthusiastic about customizing a cheongsam, I didn’t think about what occasion to wear it. After each piece of elegant or gorgeous cheongsam was completed, I found that it was all about friends gathering, afternoon tea, attending wedding banquets, celebrating elders’ birthdays, family gatherings, or even Fan page event presentations, interviews with radio and other media, etc., as long as you wear a cheongsam and speed-dating earrings, you will be dressed in a solemn and elegant, neat and generous dress, and you don't need to worry about what to wear.
I used to wear a cheongsam to hold a face-to-face meeting with friends, and I also wore a cheongsam to teach cooking in the cooking classroom, and live-streamed cooking in front of the fire.
Cooking in a cheongsam makes me feel very comfortable and happy. I feel like Ms. Fu Peimei, the teaching chef on TV, and also like my mother four or fifty years ago. The whole thing is elegant and capable! Eileen Chang once said, "Clothes are a kind of speech... We each live in our own clothes."
She is crazy about cheongsam, and she has been in love with cheongsam all her life. As a fan of Zhang and cheongsam, I have a white rolled black cheongsam top with three-quarter wide sleeves, which is an old photo imitating Zhang Ailing. I saw her with her hands on her hips, her head raised, her eyebrows and the corners of her lips raised. , with a smile, although not a perfect appearance, but see the allure of the city.
The precise details and beautiful lines of the cheongsam are the first-class masters who have been trained for many years and show their exquisite craftsmanship. Wearing this artwork that can best show the dignified and reserved beauty of oriental women, every move, every move, every style, My obsession with cheongsam should last forever.
