I said vintage, darling.

A cheongsam is a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women. The stylish and often tight-fitting cheongsam that is most often associated with today was created in the 1920s in Shanghai and was made fashionable by socialites and upperclass women. These are 1950's or 60's vintage Asian silk brocade cheongsams. And I like them. Found them at etsy shop Vintage Darling.

I had a brown satin dress very much like the bottom one, one year for NYE. I loved that dress!
