Tips for Plus-Size Qipao:

Pattern Scaling – Proportionally enlarge the base pattern, focusing on bust/waist/hip measurements. Maintain curves (armholes, neckline).

Fabric – Use stretch blends (silk-spandex) or cut non-stretch fabrics on the bias for flexibility.

Adjustments – Raise the waistline, add subtle A-line flair at the hem, and include side panels for better fit.

Mock-Up – Test with cheap fabric first; check mobility (sitting, reaching) and adjust seams/armhole depth.

Closures – Use hidden snaps on side slits for adjustable comfort.

The key is not hanfu, it's misunderstanding.

Hi there! Your enthusiasm for Hanfu is wonderful, and Sichuan is a great region to explore traditional culture. While I’m not a local, here are some tips based on what I’ve gathered:

Chengdu’s Hotspots:

Visit Jinli Ancient Street or Kuanzhai Alley – these historic areas often have small Hanfu boutiques blending traditional designs with modern aesthetics. Some shops even offer tailoring services if you want custom pieces2.

Check out Hanfu Experience Studios (common in tourist areas) where you can rent, buy, or commission outfits. Staff there might share insider tips on local ateliers.

Xi’an’s Hanfu Scene:

The area near the Xi’an City Wall and Muslim Quarter has hidden gems. Look for shops advertising “汉服定制” (Hanfu customization).

Join local Hanfu enthusiast groups on WeChat or Douyin (China’s TikTok) – communities often share updates on pop-up markets or reliable tailors.

Pro tip: September is still warm, so lightweight fabrics like chiffon or linen blends will be comfy for sightseeing! Enjoy your China adventure – hope you find the perfect Hanfu treasures! 😊
