In spring and winter, there is chemical fiber or blended cloth like gleaming silk and thinner woolen cloth. 

If for formal affairs like ceremonies or performances, in summer, you should select pure silk crape de Chine, thin silk, which are soft, light and cool since it won't stick to your body. 

For spring and winter, satin and velour are the best: tapis, treasures, crape and spun gold damask.

 Qipao is about imagination, characterized by estern mysterious culture. It tightly fitted women’s figure, just like a gentle watery eastern belle. The texture of silk implies the softy glossy skin of the beauty. When you feel it with your heart, you can even sense the body temperature.
