"its easy for you, you're pretty"

that is one of the most ignorant things I have ever read in my life and that should not be an example set out here for young teens to look at. just because you are "pretty" does not make you immune to hardships in life.

The Chinese Qi Pao/Cheongsam was invented by Chinese people, not western people and not the other way around. Please correct your post which states, "1930/1940s dress is westernized to flatter body shape, During the 1930s about 52 years, a long before I was born, the idea to make the Cheongsam was tighter around the hips is a China concept. It is called modernized by China and not westernized =wrong terminology. Western clothing was highly influenced by Chinese culture due to Marco Polo etc. To: http://clevergirlhelps.tumblr.com/, you are not clever when you take out Chinese style clothing and give credit to the wrong country, to western countries.

To: http://rebloggy.com/post/fashion-timeline-china-hong-kong-qing-dynasty _please correct your written description -That is correct that Tang also influenced many other nations but Tan was only open to trade-the Tang clothing styles for women and men were 95% invented by China, not western countries. You should delete that "Tang was most open to other nations"since that misleading comment is suggesting the foreigners (no no) created out Chinese clothes. The Chinese paintings of royal Tang princesses, rich people and lovely peasant clothing consisted of thin, translucent brocade with high quality silk gowns and tight sashes. Although the Wei and Jin clothing was loose and large around the bottom of the gown and the sleeves, the Chinese clothing has always been TIGHT around the slender waists of Chinese women. Also, the Wei and Jin Chinese clothing was sometimes been TIGHT around the shoulders and upper arms and tight around the waist. Hundreds of years ago, Chinese women at rice and vegetables and healthier food and Asian girls are mostly slimmer and not heavy in weight. Western women were heavier and caucasian men and women said it was fashionable for western women to be plump most likely 1000 years ago as well as heavier in the modern era.
