Manchu women in the Qing Dynasty wore distinct national dress, usually a slanting-fronted ankle-length qipao (cheongsam) and a pair of flowerpot-soled shoes. In order to maintain their balance, the wearer of such shoes would swing her body from side to side, thus giving the appearance of grace and charm. |
