qipao 旗袍
【詞源】
[ < Chinese qípáo (Wade-Giles transcription ch'i p'ao), lit. ‘banner dress’
The dress was so called with reference to the Manchu people who ruled China during the Qing dynasty: they were organized into groups designated by different coloured banners, and consequently the term qírén‘bannermen’became a way to
refer to Manchus. The one-piece garment was characteristic of Manchu dress, as distinct from the two-piece styles used by Han Chinese women. 這種婦女服飾得名自清朝統治中國的滿(mǎn)族。滿(mǎn)族人民依不同顏色的旗幟而分類(lèi)編制,因此“旗人”這個(gè)說(shuō)法便用來(lái)指稱(chēng)滿(mǎn)族。這種連身的衣服是滿(mǎn)族婦女的特色服飾,有別于漢族婦女所穿的兩截式風(fēng)格。
【定義】
n. A type of dress traditionally worn by Chinese women, typically having a high mandarin collar, a split skirt, and a fitted bodice with an asymmetrical closure extending from the neck to the right underarm; = cheongsam

During a break, Madam Fu changes quickly into a navy blue
qipao tastefully complemented with a peach apron. 休息時(shí),傅夫人立即換上一件深藍色的旗袍,搭配一條桃色的圍裙,雅
