The Cheongsam

Chinese New Year is approaching! :) Can you hear the firecrackers - well, imaginary ones, since firecrackers have been outlawed in Malaysia since 1991 - and smell grandma's CNY cookies yet? Can you feel the weight of your coin bag as you think of the smooth click-clack sounds of mahjong tiles - again, imaginary, since gambling is illegal in Malaysia - or shuffling of poker cards?

More importantly... have you decided what you're going to wear? :D

I think anyone of any ethnicity or nationality could have some fun and turn to the traditional Chinese dress this year for CNY 2011 - let's welcome back the cheongsam into our wardrobes! ;)

Imagine China many years ago, when the socialites were the only ones who could wear the cheongsam or qipao?

Nicole Kidman and Paris Hilton are just some of many celebrities who are fans of the cheongsam! :)

It's refreshing to see how traditional Asian fashion has influenced even Western designers! :)

While the Beijing Olympics back in '08 may have lit a flame of worldwide interest in all things Chinese - including the cheongsam - I think many of us, myself included, haven't even got one cheongsam in our wardrobes! Hehe!

But now, Hearts Fashion has brought in an entire collection of ready-stock cheongsams, priced at only RM45 each! :D

These floral prints are so demure and pretty! You can't go wrong! :)

Don't worry about how the "real thing" looks like,
Hearts Fashion took the actual product photos already! :D

These are so sweet-looking, your relatives will be showering you with compliments for sure :)

And if you want to go for something a little different, try this lace number!
I think it would look great for any formal dinners or events too :D

All the cheongsams at Hearts Fashion are made of good quality silk cotton and available in 3 sizes - S, M and L. There are usually a couple of different colour choices for you per design.

I think the key to pulling off a cheongsam well boils down to confidence, posture, hair, makeup and accessories! :D You can make yourself look as traditional and conventional as you like with a cheongsam and make your grandparents really happy, and you can also make the same cheongsam one really sexy dress with a great pair of heels and makeup! ;)

All cheongsams in this review are priced at RM45 -
available immediately at Hearts Fashion! Yes, ready stock! ;)
