Study On The Evolution Of Qipao Structure Design And Technics

Qipao is the representative of Chinese female traditional garment, it is one of the most amorous feelings of Chinese garment symbols. Qipao evolved from the qing dynasty manchu women's cheongsam, experienced the development and improvement repeated, got rid of the old style and became classic in the 1930s and 1940s thoroughly. At that time, Qipao showed the women's posture and curve boldly, the change of style with each passing day, what let a person too many things to see. After the new China was founded, Qipao exited from the vision of people along with the social transformation gradually. After the 1980s, along with the reform and opening-up and the improvement of people's living standard, Qipao re-appear with a brand new look again, from the service industry robes to mass women dress, and to the fashionable elements of international fashion stage, Qipao have been displayed a vigorous vitality and charm everywhere.Qipao has been the focus of people so many years, the evolution of Qipao is also a hot topic, but many scholars studied it from aspects of the culture. Study the evolution of its structure design and technics systematically, is a new research field looking from the current research status. This topic studied the evolution of Qipao from the angles of structure design and technics, what will help us understand the relationship between Qipao and the human body characteristics, understand the inheritance and innovation of Qipao technics. There will be two benefits through the study of the evolution of Qipao structure design and technics, the one is that Qipao can be improved furtherly, the other is that we can apply the characteristics of Qipao structure and technics to other clothing, widen the design ideas, create more exquisite design.This article choosed the traditional Qipao, the improved Qipao and the modern Qipao which have representative comparatively to conduct the study of the evolution of Qipao structure design and technics, compare and analyze it horizontally and longitudinally. First discussed the change and development and the features of each Qipao deeply, then compared the three categories of Qipao, analyzed the methods and features of the improving of Qipao structure design and technics constantly, finally, summarized the rules of the evolution of Qipao structure design and technics based on the study of the three categories of Qipao.This article summarized the rules of the evolution of Qipao structure design and technics that the structural design changed from linear to curve, from the planar tothree-dimensional, from the whole piece to the separate pieces, the technics changed from the complicated and luxury to concise and practical, from hand stitch to mechanical, from custom tailored to read-to-wear based on the style analysis, structure drawing and the technics depiction of each Qipao, and the comparison of the three Qipao, Formed the theory system about Qipao structure design and technics.
