Beautifully tailored and fully lined three-quarter sleeve cheongsam/qipao top. Darts in the chest, waist, and elbows give it a nice structure; short side splits at the hips and sleeves let it sit naturally on the body. The fabric is a reflective, semi-metallic brocade in burgundy and black geometric patterning accented with violet and red. It has a good weight to it without being stiff, complemented by a red lining of lighter weight. Mandarin collar closes with a push snap and hook and eye; hidden snaps close it across the chest and down the side.
