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 Teal Lotus print also comes in a boys' Little Man Shirt (2Y to 14Y), a Ladies Wendy Cheongsam (S to XXL) and a Men's Shirt (XS to XXL).

Perfect for family gatherings, casual outings, or as a meaningful gift, the Lotus Garden prints bring both elegance and auspicious energy to every occasion.
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.
