High-Slit Cheongsam Dress in Two Colors

A high slit is the entire argument of a cheongsam cut — everything else on the dress is supporting structure. This version keeps the classic frame: a mandarin collar, a diagonal front closure, and a fitted line through the waist that releases into the slit at the leg. The slit does what slits are for, which is to make walking part of the display.

The fabric is a polyester with enough weight to hold the fitted sections flat, in black or gray — the two versions of the genre that read most serious. Sizing runs by weight bands in pounds: S covers 85–105 lbs, M 105–120 lbs, and L 120–140 lbs, so the fitted sections sit where the pattern intended rather than straining at the closure.
