C. 滿族旗袍的設計理念
滿族旗袍的設計理念。
滿族旗袍是滿族婦女傳統的日常服裝。它原是一種不分上衣下裳的長袍，袍呈直筒狀，由一整塊衣料剪裁而成，任何部位均不重疊，式樣為圓領大襟，兩面開禊，袖口平直，腰身寬大，長可掩足。
滿族長袍上下連體，一件可頂漢族的衣、裙、褲等多種服裝穿用，但製作起來省工省料，經濟便宜，穿在身上，美觀大方，能夠展現女性輕盈秀美的自然體態。
根據氣候變化，滿族袍可做成單、夾、棉、皮等多種樣式，並且可長可短，宜供四季穿用，因此深受滿族婦女的喜愛。由於滿族又稱「旗人」，此袍又被稱為「旗袍」。
改良後的滿族旗袍
女性旗袍由寬袖變窄袖，直筒變緊身貼腰，臀部略大，下擺回收，長及踝逐漸形成今日各色各樣講究色彩裝飾和人體線條美的旗袍樣式。
滿族旗袍還有一個特點，就是在旗袍外套上坎肩。坎肩有對襟、捻襟、琵琶襟、一字襟等。穿上坎肩騎馬馳聘顯得十分精幹利落。
在滿族南遷遼沈，入中原後，與漢族同田共耕，受漢族「大領大袖」服飾的影響，由箭袖變成了喇叭袖，四開衩演變為左右開叉。旗袍非常適合中國婦女的體形和賢淑的個性、民族的氣質。

CHINESE CHEONGSAM (QIPAO)
The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion.
The name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it.
When the early Manchu rulers came to China proper, they organized certain people, mainly Manchus, into "banners" (qi) and called them "banner people" (qiren), which then became loosely the name of all Manchus. The Manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress which, likewise, came to be called "qipao" or "banner dress." Although the 1911 Revolution toppled the rule of the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for Chinese women.
Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.
The cheongsam is not too complicated to make. Nor does it call for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it.
Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.
