Twirly Cheongsam - Red Fans
The Twirly Cheongsam in Red Fans is a cheongsam (qipao) for girls with a mandarin collar, capped sleeves, a gathered skirt and a back zip, made for Chinese New Year visiting, reunion dinners and family photos. Made from 100% woven cotton, it stays breathable through a warm Singapore CNY.
Our hand-drawn Red Fans print, from our Summer (夏) series, shows Chinese folding fans with bamboo motifs on a red background. In Chinese culture, fans are a symbol of cooling and relief, which suits a warm Singapore Chinese New Year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cheongsam true to size?
Yes. It is a relaxed fit, so choose her usual size. To double-check, lay a dress that fits her well flat, measure across the chest and compare it with the chart. Not sure which style suits her? See our cheongsam fit guide.
Is a cotton cheongsam comfortable for a full day of CNY visiting?
Yes. Woven cotton breathes better than satin or polyester, and the gathered skirt gives her room to sit, play and twirl.
Is there a matching outfit for the family?
Yes. The Red Fans print also comes in a boys' Mandarin-collared Shirt (2Y to 14Y), a baby Mandarin-collared Romper (6M to 2Y), a tween Kodi Jumpsuit (8Y to 16Y), a Ladies Heidi Cheongsam (S to XL) and a Men's Mandarin-collared Shirt (XS to XXL).

Red & Blue Fans
Step into summer with our Red Fans and Blue Fans prints, part of the Summer – 夏 2026 collection.
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. In Chinese culture, fans are symbols of cooling and relief, making them a perfect motif for the hot summer months.
These prints capture both traditional artistry and seasonal charm, offering a playful yet sophisticated way to stay stylish and culturally connected during summer.
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.
