Characteristics of the Qipao Costume

This qipao features hand-painted plum blossoms on a greyish-blue ground. Plum blossoms are a symbol of virtue, iron-willed and grace. At the time, under the studio system, the art department was staffed with craftsmen with different painting skills. These skills were useful for costumes for all kinds of films, from historical to contemporary context.
