Singapore does not have a national costume but it’s three main ethnic groups (Chinese, Malay and Indian) each have their own traditional styles of dress that are used on certain occasions. The elegant cheongsam or qipao as it is known in Mandarin will often be worn by Chinese women in Singapore on their wedding day or during Chinese New Year celebrations. To find cheongsam’s in Singapore you can visit The Cheongsam Shoppe located in Holland Village Shopping Centre.
