Our Lake Blue Jacquard Xiabu cheongsam is made from 100% hand-processed Wanzai Xiabu, a natural ramie fiber known as "China Grass" with a history of millennia. The production starts with selecting high-quality ramie, which undergoes traditional dew-bleaching (a chemical-free method using morning dew to ferment and soften fibers) and hand-spinning to form smooth yarns. The lake blue hue comes from plant-based indigo dyes, ensuring a soft, non-toxic color that won’t fade easily.
The cheongsam features exquisite jacquard patterns – inspired by traditional Chinese lotus and cloud motifs – woven directly into the Xiabu fabric on antique wooden looms by skilled artisans. Each pattern is meticulously crafted, with clear lines and balanced symmetry, adding a sense of luxury without being overly ornate. It follows the classic cheongsam silhouette: a mandarin collar, frog buttons (hand-sewn with Xiabu threads), a fitted waist, and a slight slit on the side for ease of movement. Sizes range from XS to XL, with a customizable option for a perfect fit. The fabric’s natural breathability ensures comfort even during long wear, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor events.

Q1: Is the Xiabu fabric scratchy?
A1: No. Our Xiabu undergoes dew-bleaching and softening processes, making it smooth and comfortable against the skin. It’s even softer than cotton and won’t irritate sensitive skin.
Q2: How to clean the lake blue jacquard Xiabu cheongsam?
A2: We recommend hand washing with mild neutral detergent in cold water (below 30°C). Avoid machine washing or bleaching to protect the jacquard patterns and plant-based dye. Hang it in a cool, ventilated place to dry (avoid direct sunlight) to prevent color fading.
Q3: Does the cheongsam have stretch?
A3: Xiabu fabric has slight natural stretch, and we add a small amount of elastic thread to the waistband (invisible from the outside) for added comfort. For a tighter or looser fit, we offer customizable waist adjustments.
Q4: Can we request different jacquard patterns?
A4: Yes. For bulk orders or custom requests, we can create other traditional Chinese patterns (e.g., peonies, phoenixes) while keeping the lake blue color. Contact our customer service for details on minimum order quantities and design timelines.
Q5: Is international shipping available?
A5: Yes. We ship to most countries and regions, including the US, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. Shipping takes 7-15 business days, and we provide a tracking number for each order. We also offer a 30-day return policy for size or quality issues.
