🌸1. Pattern Style & Cultural Background  
This sewing pattern is inspired by one of Soong Ching Ling’s (Madame Sun Yat-sen) iconic cheongsam designs, blending classic elegance with subtle modern touches. The standout feature is a 15cm-wide detached "Annular Patch" encircling the neckline, reminiscent of traditional Chinese Yun-Jian (云肩)—a decorative shoulder piece symbolizing status and artistry in ancient times. Unlike a separate accessory, this version is seamlessly integrated into the dress, creating a striking yet refined silhouette.  

🌸2. Fabric Recommendations  
- Silk or satin for a luxurious, vintage-inspired drape.  
- Cotton blends or linen for a casual, breathable option.  
- Structured fabrics like brocade for added texture.  
- Lace are ideal for the delicate cloud collar detailing. 

🌸3. Trims & Embellishments  
- The cloud collar is constructed using wide lace (tutorial included), offering a quicker alternative to the original 0.5cm woven band technique.  
- Optional: Add frog buttons or beaded closures for the diagonal front (斜襟). 

🌸4. Occasions & Versatility  
- Formal events: Pair with heels for a timeless look.  
- Cultural celebrations: Perfect for Lunar New Year or tea ceremonies.  
- Modern styling: Layer with a silk shawl for a semi-casual vibe.  

🌸5. Key Pattern Features  
- Short sleeves + midi length (knee-overlapping hem).  
- Diagonal front closure with a side zipper for a snug fit.  
- Stand-up collar (mandarin neckline).  
- Multi-size PDF: Includes all sizes listed in the chart.  
- Print options: A0, A3, A4, and Letter formats for home or professional printing.  

✨ Why This Pattern?  
- Cultural homage: Recreate a piece of history with Soong Ching Ling’s signature style.  
- Unique detail: The integrated annular patch around neck adds dimension without complex construction.  
- Beginner-friendly: Step-by-step instructions and lace shortcut simplify the process.  
- Instant access: Download immediately after purchase and start sewing!
