Since the cheongsam first emerged in the 1920s, the style of this one-piece dress has undergone dozens of changes. The sleeves, length and collar of the dress have seen the most adaptations.

Meanwhile, two overall styles of cheongsam, Shanghai and Beijing, have emerged, with Shanghai having more patterns and more accentuation of women's shoulders and figures.
