Travelling back in 1920s - Today Cheongsam Experience in Taipei 天天旗袍體驗館

I was pretty skeptical of doing this as i believed that you need to be very slender to wear Cheongsam. 

So How did i ended up doing this? I happen to try to convince mister to try Han fu (aka the period drama costume that we see on chinese dramas). It was rejected by him immediately. Somehow, he saw a collaboration with the hotel, he immediately booked the hotel stay with the Cheongsam experience. 

He was so pleased with himself until i told him "I don't want to wear cheongsam!". 

However, this Cheongsam experience turned out better than expected. The location is quite a favourable too! 

It is within the vicinity of a Bopiliao historical block,Taiwan country education centre and Lung shan temple. All these buildings provided the perfect backdrop to the clothes that we wore. 

I am a usual size L (asian) and the clothes i tried are L and XL. Ladies get to choose their fit and design first before the male. The male chinese robe (male version, paofu) has to match to the ladies costume. I appreciate this gesture as ladies are usually the more particular one. 

I would definitely recommend to try this place with your significant other. Make up and hairdo can also be provided at additional cost. Shoes, earrings and clothes are included. The white artist cap and the shawl are our own. All else is included in the package.
