This bright-coloured cheongsam is made of plush, a soft and thick fabric that is made of cut or uncut loops of yarn that stand erect to form the fabric surface. Although the use of frog buttons and piping is minimal, the overall look of this cheongsam is rather elaborate and luxurious, making it suitable for a formal occasion.
