Ladies Mini Harper Cheongsam - Blue Fans
The Ladies Mini Harper Cheongsam in Blue Fans is a fitted, knee-length cheongsam (qipao) in stretch cotton for Chinese New Year visiting, reunion dinners and family gatherings. It has a back zip for easy dressing, a slit so you can walk and sit comfortably, and lilac buttons down the front. Made from 93% cotton and 7% spandex, it has a little stretch, so it moves with you through a long day of visiting.
Our hand-drawn Blue Fans print, from our Summer (夏) series, shows Chinese folding fans with bamboo motifs on a blue background. In Chinese culture, fans are a symbol of cooling and relief, which suits a warm Singapore Chinese New Year. Match the family in the girls' Naomi Cheongsam, the boys' Mandarin-collared Polo Tee or the Men's Mandarin-collared Polo Tee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cheongsam true to size?
It is a fitted style with a little stretch. The easiest way to check is to lay a similar fitted dress you already own flat, measure across the chest, waist and hip, and compare it with the chart. If you are between sizes, size down.
Is a stretch cotton cheongsam comfortable for Chinese New Year in Singapore?
Yes. Cotton breathes better than the satin or polyester used in many cheongsams, it is unlined so it stays light, and the 7% spandex gives a little stretch, so it stays comfortable through house visits and reunion dinner.
Is there a matching outfit for the family?
Yes. The Blue Fans print comes in a girls' Naomi Cheongsam (4Y to 14Y), a baby Jersey Luna Tulle Onesie (6M to 2Y), a boys' Mandarin-collared Polo Tee (2Y to 14Y) and a Men's Mandarin-collared Polo Tee (XS to XXL).

Each print showcases elegantly hand-drawn Chinese folding fans adorned with bamboo motifs, evoking a sense of calm and freshness. The red or blue backgrounds bring vibrancy while highlighting the intricate details of the fans.

Designed for Families in Singapore
Every elly print is hand-drawn in house by our design team in Singapore. Our Chinese New Year collection was drawn as a four-seasons series of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and most prints come in baby, kids', ladies' and men's styles, so the whole family can match for reunion dinner and house visits.
We make our pieces for Singapore weather. Most are 100% cotton or our soft jersey with 5% elastane, so they stay comfortable through a long, warm day of visiting. For Disney fans, our Disney | elly designs include Mickey and Disney Princess prints.
