Liyen Midi Dress

A modern reinterpretation of the iconic qipao (旗袍), this midi dress channels timeless elegance through a contemporary lens. Inspired by the graceful silhouettes of traditional Chinese eveningwear, this dress features a mandarin-style collar with a soft keyhole cutout — a quiet nod to heritage. The body-skimming shape is refined by side-button detailing, reminiscent of classic cheongsam closures, but reimagined with subtle sensuality and modern tailoring. Liyen speaks to the woman who embraces her power with poise and restraint — a statement in elegance, not volume.

Key Features:

• Qipao-inspired design: Mandarin neckline with keyhole front
• Sculpted silhouette: Body-hugging fit that flatters without excess
• Side slit with traditional-style buttons: East-meets-modern detail
• Sleeveless racer cut: Clean, contemporary update on classic styling
• High-quality stretch fabric: Comfortable structure with movement
• Back zipper closure: Maintains sleek lines
• Fully lined interior: For structure and comfort
