1, head straight, neck straight, shoulders spread and sink, and human body feels upward.

2, abdomen, waist, buttocks

4. When wearing cheongsam, you can stand in a T-shape or a V-shape, with your chin slightly retracted and your hands crossed at the navel.

5. Keep smiling while standing.

2) Correct sitting posture:

The principle of sitting posture is "sitting like a clock", which gives people a sense of being correct, generous, natural and steady.

1. Sit down gently and firmly. Go to your seat and sit down gently and firmly.

2. A lady's knees should be close together and can't be separated at any time.

3, sitting in a chair, usually full of 2/3 of the chair, under normal circumstances, don't lean back, you can lean back gently when resting.

3) Correct walking posture:

1, based on standing posture, smiling, eyes straight up.

2. The shoulders should be smooth, and the arms should swing back and forth naturally and rhythmically. The swing should be 300 ~ 350, and the shoulders and arms should not be too stiff.

3. The center of gravity is slightly forward. When walking, the stitches on both sides of your feet are a straight line.

4. The stride should be appropriate. When women wear cheongsam and high heels, their stride is smaller.

5. When walking, you should have a certain sense of rhythm and get out of the rhythm.

Where you wear cheongsam.

1. You can choose cheongsam made of gorgeous fabrics for formal dinner and wedding reception, concierge or performance.

2. Places with traditional cultural significance: reception of foreign guests, taking classes in traditional culture or working in companies with strong China culture. However, if the company culture is westernized, it is not recommended to choose cheongsam for work, and the choice of clothing should be consistent with the company culture.

Etiquette when wearing cheongsam

1, the fabric and color of cheongsam should be coordinated with the occasion of dressing.

Ordinary cotton cloth and silk brocade make the same style of cheongsam, and the styles will be completely different: one is simple and elegant, the other is gorgeous and noble. When buying cheongsam, you must consider the occasion of wearing it and choose the fabric and color of the corresponding style. The neckline of cheongsam is tightly closed. When buying short-sleeved sleeveless cheongsam in hot weather, it is best to choose comfortable fabrics that absorb sweat and breathe freely.

When choosing cheongsam, you should pay attention to the coordination between the style of cheongsam and your identity.

Avant-garde sleeveless or bare-chested cheongsam, as well as ultra-short cheongsam with fur piping and boots, will be particularly outstanding for stars, but it is not suitable for conservative industry workers to wear every day.

3. The neck circumference, neck height, shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference and hip circumference of cheongsam should fit. Anything too tight or too loose will greatly reduce the aesthetic feeling and make it uncomfortable to wear.

4. Check all buttons before wearing. If there are buttons with loose stitches, they must be reinforced again before wearing to ensure that the buttons will not fall off when wearing.

5. The overall feeling of the style of cheongsam is "solemnity and sexiness in rigor". If you release the button, you will immediately feel "dust".

Therefore, when a lady wears a cheongsam, all buttons of the cheongsam must be buckled no matter what the weather is like. Any unbuttoned button will leave an indelible "frivolous" impression on others.

6. Ankle-high slit cheongsam and ankle-high western-style evening dress have the same effect. Therefore, only in formal dinner or performance occasions, or in hotels, guesthouses and other occasions that require specific Chinese work clothes, women can wear cheongsam with high slit above the middle thigh. The slit of the cheongsam should not be higher than the upper edge of the knee 10 cm during daily work or leisure.

7. It's best to wear pantyhose in cheongsam, so don't worry about socks opening. However, it should be noted that the fabric of cheongsam must be selected without static electricity from stockings.

8. The style of shoes should match the style of cheongsam.

9. Don't expose your underwear. Underwear matching cheongsam should also be carefully selected in style and color, suitable and comfortable, and the outline of underwear should be seamless.

10, when wearing cheongsam, pay special attention to maintaining good manners. Because the shape of cheongsam is very close to the natural curve of women, the indecent standing and sitting posture will be completely exposed to everyone.

Selection of cheongsam

There are many kinds of cheongsam, so you should pay attention to the following two points when purchasing:

1. It depends on your own needs. For example, wedding dresses (cheongsam) are not only excellent in fabric quality but also colorful and full of festive colors.

2. The fabric of banquet dress (cheongsam) should be high-grade, luxurious, soft and generous in color, and stable and elegant in appearance; Casual cheongsam can be arbitrary, highlighting the beauty of personality and figure, and it is comfortable and generous to wear.

When buying a cheongsam, you must accurately measure your "three measurements", that is, chest circumference, waist circumference and hip circumference, which are suitable for or slightly redundant with the "three measurements" of cheongsam.

Then, try it on in the fitting room to see if its "measurements" fit comfortably, and then look at the length and thickness of the collar, body and sleeves. The size of cheongsam is different from dresses and other clothes, and the requirements are very strict, otherwise it will lose its style and uniqueness.

Selection of cheongsam fabric: the selection of cheongsam is very extensive. In summer, you can choose pure cotton printed muslin, printed poplin, yarn-dyed poplin, assorted poplin, all kinds of linen yarn, printed striped satin, jacquard cloth and other light fabrics to wear in your daily life. The self-made short cheongsam is light and cool, beautiful and practical. In spring and autumn, you can choose chemical fiber or blended textiles, such as various bright silk, polyester silk and various tweed fabrics. Although these fabrics have poor hygroscopicity and air permeability, they are smoother and more beautiful than cotton fabrics, and are suitable for wearing in lukewarm seasons.

It is elegant to wear cheongsam as a concierge or performance. Wearing in summer, cheongsam fabrics should be made of silk crepe de chine, spun silk, electrospun silk, Hangluo and other silk fabrics. The fabric is soft, light, non-sticky and comfortable and cool. Wearing in spring and autumn, cheongsam fabrics should choose all kinds of satin and velvet, such as brocade, antique satin, jade satin, crepe satin, georgette velvet and golden velvet. Cheongsam made of these high-grade fabrics can fully show the beauty of oriental women's figure, with prominent dotted lines, rich charm and elegance. If the chest, collar and lapel are slightly decorated, it will be even more dazzling.

Cleaning of cheongsam

At present, most women wear cheongsam made of brocade fabric, which is not suitable for washing, so you should be very careful when wearing it, especially not to be contaminated with oil stains, cola and lipstick, because these substances are the most difficult to clean, even if they are sent to dry cleaners, they may not be completely removed, so we suggest:

1, don't wear cheongsam for several days.

2. Pay attention to sharp objects and avoid hook holes and wire drawing of cheongsam.

Don't roll up your sleeves for convenience.

Because cheongsam is generally made of silk, you must be careful not to use enzyme-containing washing powder and alkaline detergent when cleaning. Change and wash silk and satin clothes frequently, and never put them aside after taking them off.

5. Cheongsam with three-dimensional flower buttons can't be washed and must be dry-cleaned, otherwise the buttons will be deformed and damaged beyond repair.
