Cheongsams

When the MayMayKing boutique closed, its cute and kitsch designs were so sorely missed that the company set up a design studio to cater to its dedicated following. Although primarily focusing on the wholesale market, it is still available for personal tailoring. Its cheongsams are made from unconventional fabric, such as newsprint cotton and cherry-print silk. The designs are daring, with short cuts and high slits. These are definitely not the type of cheongsams that will get you mistaken for a waitress. By appointment only.
