Chinese Dresses

Because of the excellent importation of genuine Chinese dresses, you can find such a dress at an import store or even at a department store in more modern varieties. Chinese dresses are unique, well made and can make you look lovely in them. There are stylish modern Chinese dresses and more traditional dresses, filled with hand embroidery and unique buttons.

The standard dress from China is modern in style with the exception of the fabric, which can be silk or satin. There are often Chinese characters embroidered in the dress or figures typical of China or Chinese art. The standard dress is often called the Mini Dress and is a Chinese dress that is a unique combination of the Western styled dress and a traditional Chinese-style dress. The dresses are often A-lined dresses or princess-cut dresses that reach to above the knee. They can be worn at work or out at the club.

There is a long, very traditional style of dress, including a headdress for you to wear for weddings or for traditional-style dancing. It is patterned after the wedding dress of ancient women. The fabric is soft satin. The costume comes in one average size. Such a costume works well for photography, weddings, performing arts or even a classy Halloween costume. Such costumes are made in China, often in Shanghai, the dress capital of China, and are of a high quality.

There are long, stylish party dresses made from silk or satin. These Chinese dresses often come in one size fits all but are acceptable for a wide variety of sizes. Others are more fitted, hanging snuggly down the waist, hips and legs. They are often made from brightly colored print or solid, and often have embroidery attached to them. Embroidery is one of the staples of Chinese dresses and you will rarely find one without it.

Chinese dresses, even long dresses tend to be very inexpensive and cost less than twenty dollars. Many of the long dresses have slits down their narrow frame to allow for easy walking. The downside of buying dresses like these is that Chinese women tend to be small in stature, so such a dress would not be appropriate for taller women or for women who are chubbier. Of course, you can always have the dress altered but this is hard to do without having extra fabric. Because the dresses are so cheap, you could buy one dress to wear and another just for extra fabric to alter the dress to fit your frame better.

The Chinese tend to be married in red dresses as red are good luck but they do sell dresses for weddings that are white in color for westerners. Such dresses don't look much like Chinese ones do but they are beautiful and functional for a lovely wedding.

They also have dresses for children, which can be of the style of women's dresses or can be two piece play suits that involve shorts and a Chinese shirt. Chinese dresses for children are also very ornate and have a great deal of embroidery on them.
