Qipao/Cheongsam - By Emerald Brilliant

I've always found qipao elegant for matured women. And I knew that Emerald Brilliant has a variety of readymade qipaos available for trying for one like my mom who has difficulty finding the right cutting for her stature and body type.



It was such an enriching experience for her because she never thought that she could look good in qipao and yet the first one that she tried was the one that she couldn't put down.

We also customade another qipao on top of the one she tried off the shelf. So in total we bought 2 qipaos.


My mom in law also bought a qipao from the outlet in One Utama.

This is a place I will recommend for those who are :

(1) short of time - there are many readymade ones available for purchase and customade qipaos takes about 2 weeks only.

(2) unsure of their own body type - you can try out the different types of cutting in the shop as there are tonnes available for trying

(3) not particular about workmanship - the qipaos will look good no doubt but if one scrutinises, one will find a lot of flaws with the threading and seams etc. 

The main branch and also the "factory" is located in SS2 and I highly recommend that outlet as there seems to be more choice there and the price seems slightly cheaper than those in Pavilion and One Utama. Either that or they place the more expensive ones at the other 2 outlets. 

If you are looking for more modern designs, then I will recommend you visit Pavilion and One Utama as I believe more modern ones are placed at the shopping centre outlets. 

10% discounts are almost always offered for readymade qipaos bought off the rack and each readymade qipao can be altered plus minus 2 inches.

Try it out if you must !
