📐 Sizing Tips

• Always size by your three measurements (bust, waist, hips) — qipao fit is structured and precise, unlike regular clothing.
• If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the larger size for comfort, or the smaller size for a more fitted, traditional qipao silhouette.
• The total length is 145 cm — this is a full-length gown with no trailing train. Suitable for heights approximately 160–170 cm for a floor-length fit.
• The 4XL size features a high-end improvement cut with refined construction. The 5XL size features a large-size slimming cut designed to flatter and elongate the silhouette.
• For custom sizing, please contact customer service with your exact bust, waist, hip, and height measurements before placing your order.

🧺 Care Instructions

• Hand wash in cold water only — do not machine wash
• Do not bleach (no chlorine bleach) — bleaching will damage the fabric fibres
• Do not soak — soaking damages fabric fibres and may cause colour bleeding
• Use a mild, neutral detergent — rinse thoroughly
• Hang to dry in shade — avoid direct sunlight to prevent colour fading
• Iron on low temperature with a pressing cloth to protect the fabric surface
• Store hanging on a wide hanger to maintain the water sleeves’ shape and the fishtail’s structure
