This green sleeveless wool cheongsam which belonged to the late Christina Lee is tight fitting. The high collar was the trend of the 1950s and 60s. It is worn with a matching jacket made of the same fabric and possibly worn overseas as the material is very warm.Christina Lee was married to Datok Loke Wan Tho from 1950 to 1962. She was a style icon remembered for cladding in cheongsam.
