Description

Ivory silk cheongsam, traced with dimensional red floral appliqué and gold thread embroidery that moves across the body in a continuous line.

The silhouette remains narrow and controlled, allowing the surface work to carry the visual weight rather than the cut.

Curator’s Note

This piece relies on restraint. The ground is quiet, almost still, while the embroidery moves across it in a deliberate path. It doesn’t read as decoration alone—it reads as placement.

Worn, it would follow the body closely, but even at rest, the intention is clear. The line, the surface, the balance between the two—nothing feels added after the fact.

• Asymmetrical floral placement from shoulder to lower skirt
