To win a copy of the brilliant and richly-illustrated book ‘Changing Clothes in China’ by Antonia Finnane (Hurst & Company, £25) – reviewed in this issue of Apollo – just answer the following question:

What is a cheongsam?

Answer: A Traditional Chinese Dress :D


Email your answer to [EMAIL="offers@apollomag.com"]offers@apollomag.com[/EMAIL] and we’ll announce the winner the following Friday. Good luck!

The cheongsam is a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women. It is known in Chinese as the q!p!o (旗袍), q!p!or (旗袍儿), Wade-Giles ch'i-p'ao, and is also known in English as a mandarin gown. The modern cheongsam is a modernized version of the qipao of the Manchurians who conquered China in the 17th century (Qing Dynasty).
