East Meets Dress offers some great insights into the qipao/cheongsam dress to help you better understand each of the elements. There are five identified here!

For traditional qipao dresses, many brides choose a dragon/phoenix print because this represents a harmonious marriage. Silk is the traditional material, and although this particular qipao certainly looks like silk, it is handmade, and there’s no tag. The Mandarin collar with pankou knots are another characteristic of traditional qipao wedding dresses. Finally, a diagonal top is representative of a qipao as a traditional wedding dress.
