I'm quite fond of the qipao on account of Chun Li. So its no surprise for me that I ended making a few. As I don't quite understand the method used for making said dress on a 1:1 scale I ended up reworking the simple kimono/robe method. which also follow a smiliar method
it was made by placing the doll on the cloth to estimate the measurement instead of measuring everything out and stuff. Dress is made with the aid of a 27cm Obitsu. I have yet to try the sewing a fully sewing machine version of said dress
Legend Red line denotes cutting, Blue denotes sewing Green for fold at line Yellow for excess cloth after folding / sewing Orange for zipper
Note I was pretty much using the variations of this pattern to make the chang pao[link] and the cossack [link]
Some pieces Blood Blossoms (Blame SF3strike CL alternate color for making me seek this design)
This looks very good, maybe I'll try your method out ^__^ I have some beautiful blue brocade that I want to make one of these dresses with, but wasn't sure where to start!!

Mine was a result of reversing the kimono (back to front) that allow me to come up with the qipao
