Another way the qipao lives

The qipao never belonged to one country alone. From Anna May Wong on Hollywood sets in the 1930s to today's convention floors and Lunar New Year parades — every mandarin collar proves the same point: this dress belongs to whoever puts it on. QI MODA's XS–3XL grading and made-to-measure service exist exactly for that.
