In the Mood for Cheongsam

In the Mood for Cheongsam (2012)

$30

Spanning almost a century, this book tells the story of the changing social roles of Singapore women from the turn of the 20th century to present day by looking at the history and development of the traditional cheongsam, the female wearers, their fashion options, and the economic, political and social conditions that dictate their decisions through the decades.

Available for purchase at our museum.
