This mini sleeveless cheongsam is made of chiffon and has a fuchsia lining for contrast. Paisley printed fabric was commonly used in garments worn by Singapore women in the 1950s and 60s. This cheongsam is short and tight-fitting. A mini cheongsam like this is probably influenced by the minidress trend from the West in the 1960s.
