Description
Short Sleeved Cheong San of bronze brown brocade with dark green and bronze - brown ribbon trim. The front over flap panel is symmetrical and closes to the right. Three frogs adorn the panel, two serving as closures and an additional frog at the neck also acts as a closure. The frogs are elaborate traditional knotted button and loop closures. The neck sleeves, panel and slits are trimmed in .5" bronze ribbon and dark green piping. The brocade is composed of an all over floral pattern in dark blue, light blue, purple, brown, yellow, green., gray and white threads. The cheong sam is lined with brown silk. There is a zipper under the right arm extending to the hips. Three snaps help to keep the front panel closed.
