Wedding Cheongsam Rental Singapore
Origins
What is a Cheongsam(Qipao)?
The Cheongsam is a piece of close-fitting dress that was first developed by the Chinese in the 1820s. Originally conservative and traditional, the cheongsam has since undergone lots of stylistic changes. This evolution coincided with the embracing of Western fashion and culture, resulting in more Western elements seen in the dress. For example, the long and wide clothing slowly gave way to a tighter fit that more prominently accentuates the lady’s body. The collar also got shorter, as did the hem.
It was at its most popular from the 1910 – 1940. All the Chinese women had no less than five different pairs of Cheongsam, and could be seen wearing a different one every day. It faded away in the next four decades, before regaining its popularity in the 1980s. Till today, it is regarded as high fashion piece, reserved specially for festivities and special occasions.
Diverse Styles
Which style should I get?
In the decades leading to the modernisation of the cheongsam, two styles have shone above the rest, garnering the greatest appeal. They are the Beijing-style and the Shanghai-style, and both have stood well against the test of time. What are the differences between each then?
In Beijing, the cheongsam was appreciated for its cultural importance and traditional elements. As such, greater emphasised was placed in its embroidery. Each design progression was made by preserving the intricate patterns and colourful decorations.
Meanwhile, in Shanghai ,there was a greater appreciation for Western elements and fashion style. This lead to a greater design emphasis on the wearer’s beauty. Every progressive development of the cheongsam aimed to answer the question: How can this further accentuate the wearer’s figure?
The result is a Cheongsam that is naturally flattering.
In today’s world, the Shanghai-style cheongsam has proved to be the more popular of the two. It is well-received by many, and it’s not difficult to see why.
At SingaporeGownRental, the wedding cheongsams are all modelled after this style.

FEATURES
Unique features of the Shanghai-style Cheongsam Gowns
Accentuated Figure
Trademarks of Western tailoring were incorporated into these cheongsams. The cutting were more curved, and waist darts were used. This helped to shape the waist, creating a more flattering silhouette.
Focused Embroidery
Adornments no longer run the entire length of the cheongsams. Instead, a minimalist style was adapted. Embroidery was sewn only on specific parts of the gown that best display its design intricacy.
Great Comfort
Newer and lighter materials were used to ensure greater comfort for the wearer. Compared to the stiff garments of the past, materials used were now soft to the touch, meant to be worn for long hours.

“Easily the best gown I’ve ever worn. It was somehow classy and sexy at the same time, and it felt incredibly luxurious to wear. It’s pretty form-fitting through the hips and legs and it was a great fit for my body type. I got compliments on the dress the whole morning from random people, and my husband couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful I looked. Definitely a showstopper!”
– Alicia, Dec ’19

Our Passion. Our dream.
Jane Neo conceived SingaporeGownRental following conversations with women just like her. She imagined a boutique that offered pieces with only the very highest craftsmanship and most beautiful detailing. A lady who worked hard and had disposable income, but who would never think of spending many thousands of dollars on a dress that she knew she would only wear once, it was then that she set out on her mission to offering affordable gown rentals.
This passion, combined with the knowledge that she had gained working for some of the luxury industry’s most famous names across the globe, led her to conceive a novel retail concept adapted to the local Singaporean context.
