Zhang Ailing's excerpt: "The newly emerged cheongsam is cold and square, with a Puritan style." ("Eighteen Spring")
This classic photo must have left a deep impression on everyone. Zhang Ailing danced with her hands on her hips and her head held high, looking like an arrogant and noble little woman.
In the early days of "partial improvements", cheongsam was still conservative. When I first started traveling, the cheongsam was ankle-length. In 1927, some fashionable women wanted to improve the height of their cheongsam, but were afraid of being conservative.
Pai criticized him, so he made the cheongsam above the calf and nailed a three- or four-inch long butterfly pleat to the hem of the cheongsam. In 1928, the cheongsam entered a new stage, with the length shortened to knee-length.
About two inches below, the entire calf is exposed, making it easy to walk. At that time, beauty-loving women wore cheongsam in various ways, including "partial westernization" and matching western styles with the cheongsam.
