Elevate your style with a custom-made cheongsam by Angelique Boutique. While the boutique typically focuses on Mother of the Bride outfits, the brand also meticulously puts together elegant cheongsam dresses. On top of a range of fabrics and colours, personalised embroidery services are available—adding an even more personalised touch to the piece.

Golden Scissor Cheongsam founder Li Qi Ying has been making cheongsams for the past 40 years. Take your pick from its delightful range of fabrics and it’ll be turned into an elegant dress that fits like a glove. You can either call or send a direct message to their Facebook page.

Hu Ruixian, the modern dressmaker who hopes to revitalise the traditional cheongsam, is your go-to person for a contemporary take on the garment. The key to a perfect cheongsam, Hu says, should be excellent tailoring and have the same effect as a Little Black Dress. 

Begin with a consultation with Hu to discuss your vision for your cheongsam. Hu’s “magic hands” will guarantee a job well done.  

This homegrown brand looks to wearers as the muse for its garments. Your cheongsam design will be individualised and inspired by you. Clients begin with a thorough consultation that takes into account their personal style and body shape. 

Fabrics for your cheongsam are then selected from the finest materials from all over the world, based on your instructions. The final product? A highly individualised piece of clothing only meant for you.

Having been in the business since 1992 and specialising in tailoring cheongsam, you can trust Mama and Misse to nail that cheongsam design you’ve been dreaming of. Its presence in the cheongsam scene has seen its tailors making the garment for generations of wearers. 

Mama and Misse offers many fabrics for you to choose from, including silk, cotton, and satin. Consultations are by appointment only.

Mazzario prides itself on its ability to put a spin on the traditional, oriental-style cheongsam with bold colours. You can also experiment with different necklines, silhouettes, and lengths with the brand. 

Choose from a variety of high-quality fabrics that are both bright and vibrant at the store and watch your cheongsam vision come to life. You can even opt for a matching set with your mini-me. 

Founded by Singapore fashion designer Goh Lai Chan, Laichan is known for its figure-flattering cheongsams. Goh’s commitment to beauty and quality has earned him several endorsements and his designs have gone on to feature in local theatre productions such as Romeo + Juliet and Shakespeare in the Park. 

Cheongsams created by Laichan are made with the best fabrics sourced from around the world. So make some time to create your unique Laichan cheongsam and wow relatives and friends this Chinese New Year.

Exuding old-world charm, Dotted Line updates the traditional cheongsam with modern silhouettes and design details. The cheongsam you are about to make will not just be a once-in-a-year appearance. Its versatility, courtesy of Dotted Line, means you can wear it all year round.

Choose from silhouettes like classic, slim, or flared and lengths ranging from knee length and midi. The Liberty Tana Lawn (Egyptian cotton) fabric remains an all-time favourite.

Founded by a mother-daughter duo, The Happy Cheongsam hopes to preserve the intricate tailoring of cheongsams with a joyful and modern take. Fun fabric prints include cats, whales, and dinosaurs on cheongsams as well as cute designs such as a cheongsam-inspired jumpsuit. 

Choose eye-catching colours for your cheongsam and infuse your own creativity into your modern cheongsam. The store operates entirely online.
