This garment presentation examines the fashion trends from China to other
transnational communities dating from 1909 to 1973. There will be examples of a
“Pleated Skirt, "Glossy Cloth” also known as Bi-colored Silk, Qipao aka
Cheong Sam, knotted floral buttons and polychrome silk embroidery. We will
examine the fashion and historical context that reflected a restricted
lifestyle to a liberated one for Chinese women. We will also examine various
fabric and tailoring details.
This a PowerPoint presentation and will include a
sampling of the actual garments.
