The China dress or Chinese dress, more properly called a cheongsam or qipao, was introduced in Qing-era China (1600s) but did not evolve into its current form until the early 20th century. It is a form-fitting, one-piece dress. It buttons up on the right with a diagonal flap across the breasts, and has side slits up both legs.
In anime they are often really short or the slits really long.
Frequently appears in conjunction with double bun and bun cover.
