Frequently asked questions

常见问题

How long does a custom or wedding qipao take, and when should I book? · 定制旗袍或婚礼礼服需要多长时间?建议提前多久预约?

It depends on the design. A simple style takes less time than one with embroidery, hand beading or hand painting, and each step has its own schedule.

Brides should book a fitting as soon as the wedding date is set. That leaves time to make the gown properly and to plan accessories, makeup and coordinating outfits for the groom and family. When time allows, we also schedule a second fitting before sewing begins, so the gown fits perfectly.

制作周期取决于款式与工艺:简约款与刺绣、手工钉珠、手绘等工艺款所需时间差别较大。建议确定婚期后尽早预约量体、确定款式,既为制作留足时间,也便于提前规划配饰、妆容及新郎和家人的服装搭配。时间充裕时,我们会在正式制作前安排一次尺寸复核,确保礼服更加合身。

How much does a qipao cost? · 旗袍大概什么价位?

Prices depend on the occasion, fabric, design and craftsmanship. Everyday qipao start from around $100. Couture qipao range from a few hundred to over $1,000, depending on embroidery, hand painting, hand beading and hours of work.

For a wedding qipao, we suggest a budget of several hundred dollars or more; the final price depends on the design, fabric and techniques chosen. Prices are a guide only.

日常旗袍约百元起;高定旗袍数百元至千元以上,视刺绣、手绘、钉珠等工艺而定;婚礼旗袍建议预留数百元以上预算,具体价格根据设计、面料和工艺另行确定。以上为价格参考,实际价格以具体方案为准。

What sizes do you carry, and can ready-made qipao be altered? · 店里有哪些尺码?成衣可以修改尺寸吗?

Our ready-to-wear qipao come in sizes S to 4XL, and some modern Chinese-style pieces are free size.

If a piece needs adjusting at the length, waist or bust, we can recommend experienced local tailors in the Bay Area for alterations.

店内成衣尺码主要为 S 码至 4XL 码,部分新中式服装提供均码。如需调整衣长、腰围、胸围等,我们可为您推荐湾区经验丰富的专业修改师傅。
