Harbin-Dalian High Speed Train Starts Operation Today

[Ray]

They need to lift an 20 lb luggage case for an old short lady to the overhead compartment and crouching down to reach something under seat. This is not a highschool prom or an evening gala, they are stewardesses.

Well frocks can be revealing when one sits down to lift a luggage of an old lady.

Have you seen the World of Suzy Wong?

'Cheongsam' - Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.

The cheongsam is not too complicated to make. Nor does it call for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it.

Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness.

Note this lady is sitting with her knees up. Imagine her sitting down to pick up the old lady's luggage. I don't think much is being revealed.

When one's own traditional dress is not cumbersome and compare with the western frock, I think it would be very nationalistic to have one's own dress.

But then maybe you feel otherwise.

Indian Chinese women love wearing the 'Cheongsam' because as said before the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions.

hehe, just try to crouch down with Qipao ( not cheongsam, which literaturally means long coat, but cheongsam is for men ONLY).
They have to walk over and forth, they need to be in uniforms, and it won't reveal, it designed that way.

We have traditional Qipao style uniforms too, but people have to improve them into a Qipao style frocks to be able to work in it.

These links show women's dress as cheongsam.

The cheongsam is a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women; the male version is the changshan. It is known in Mandarin Chinese as the qípáo

The English loanword cheongsam comes from chèuhngsāam (Simp./Trad. Chinese: 长衫/長衫, 'long shirt/dress'), the Cantonese pronunciation of the Shanghainese term zǎnze or zansae, by which the original tight-fitting form was first known. The Shanghainese name was somewhat in contrast with usage in Mandarin and other Chinese dialects, where chángshān (the Mandarin pronunciation of 長衫) refers to an exclusively male dress (see changshan) and the female version is known as a qipao.

Foreigners named it wrong with wrongful influence of bad use of Chinese language by over seas Cantonese long time ago. They first went to the new continent around 1800s, most of illiterate and shanghaied.

Chang Shan or Chang Pao is for Male always go with a waistcoat we call Magua. Qipao is for female. We don't even know what Cheungsham is. I have to guess the meaning out with contonese pronunciation.
