Had such a great experience working with Madam Shanghai on creating a custom Chinese qipao! Madam Shanghai designed such a beautiful qipao for my mother in law to wear on my wedding day. They were extremely communicative, professional, and amazing people to work with. My mother in law looked amazing in her dress and I cannot thank Madam Shanghai enough for making such a high quality, stunning qipao for my big day!

I am thrilled to share the story of Madam Shanghai, a brand that embodies the creativity, resilience and cultural richness of our community. This brand was founded by two incredible women, Grace Pei and Vincy Zhou, who have poured their hearts and souls into building a special space that celebrates our cultural heritage. Their dedication to preserving the traditions of Qipao and passing it onto the next generation is truly admirable. Madam Shanghai is a shining example of the power of AAPI entrepreneurship and creativity.

I wore this beautiful Qipao to Unforgettable Gala in 2022. My favorite elements of my Qipao are the craftsmanship and the care. The level of care you can feel it when you wear the Qipao. I grew up in Southeast Asian, and my family is from Malaysia. Coming to the US and seeing the culture is not front and centered, kind of affecting the Asian Americans perspective of ourselves. It is the wonderful time now that we get to celebrate and honor our culture, and share our new takeaways to the new world.
