She said: 'About a year ago, we were like, "Let's just see what happens." And then when it didn't happen, Kim was like, "Let's go to the doctor.'"

Kourtney, who was present but silent during the exchange, later said: 'I overhear Khloe talking about her pregnancy drama, and she never really talks to me about it anymore.
'I kind of don't really ask her, because I don't want to always bother her. It just makes me sad that she has to struggle with getting pregnant.'
Kourtney and Kim Take Miami airs on E! in the US this Sunday.

Unqiue Qipao Wedding Dress for Sale



The cheongsam invented in Shanghai is a modernized version of the traditional qipao, a garment worn by Chinese women since the 17th century. While the original qipao was wide and loose, the version invented in the 1920s was form-fitting, and cut high on the sides. The dress was first worn by socialites and courtesans, and soon became immensely popular. By the 1950s, cheongsams were also made in materials like wool and twill for women to wear in the workplace. The dress also became briefly popular in the West during the 1960s.


Cheongsams, also known as Qi Pao, are traditional chinese dresses, worn today on special occasions such as weddings and New Year. If you are from outside China or South East Asia such as Singapore or Malayesia, places where you can find easier boutiques with chengsam dresses, you may on to purchase a dress online. Be aware of the size chart though, as well as the return policy.

A cheongsam is a form-fitting Chinese dress, also called a Mandarin gown in English and qipao in Mandarin Chinese. The word cheongsam is an Anglicized version of the Cantonese pronunciation of the Shanghainese name for the garment, zanze, literally "long dress." The cheongsam was created in 1920s Shanghai. The dress is traditionally ankle length, with slits on the sides of the skirt, a high collar, and sleeves ending above the elbow. Cheongsams are made in a variety of materials, though perhaps the most traditional is bright, embroidered silk.

Today, there are many variations on the cheongsam, including two-piece versions, long-sleeved and sleeveless styles, knee-length or shorter skirts, and stretchy materials. There is also a male version of the cheongsam, called the changsan, literally "long shirt." Like the female variety, the changsan is usually worn for formal occasions today. It also features the high, stiff collar known as a Mandarin collar, and is traditionally ankle-length. Many women might have been considering getting herself a cheongsam, yet worried that a cheongsam might expose her shortages. In fact there are many cheongsams with refined designs that absorbed many fashionable elements like strapless, backless, or plunging neckline design, these designs can greatly embellishes a woman's body.

The Modern Qipao Wedding Dress gained more meaning and significance to the extent that it was only the acknowledged folks of the society who had the right to enjoy this style. At the moment, the design of the Cheongsam has become remarkable to the extent that this attractive outfit is typically intended for particular events. Way back the Cheongsam was merely a long dress with a few styles but right now, the whole setting is about looking attractive and fashionable.

Designer Short Qipao Show Your Body Type



What is qipao? qipao is the classic elegant dresses for Chinese women. And chinese man boutique clothing is tang suit. I introduce qipao to you today. It combines the elaborate elegance of Chinese tradition with unique elements of style. The high-necked, closed-collar heongsam, with a loose chest,fitting waist, and the attractive slits,is one of the most versatile costumes in the world. It can be long or short, some with full, medium, short or even no sleeves at all - to suit different occasions,eather and individual tastes.


Qipao has been popular for wedding since early 1990s. At that time, they occupied the leading position with plenty of types. By changing for decades, wedding qipao has been the favorite dress of oriental bride-to-be. Colors, styles and materials for wedding qipao become much more than it used to be. While, how to select a suitable wedding qipao? It must to consider all the factors including colors, styles, materials and body shape.

The qipao dresses soon came to represent the politics of a modernizing China. It was advertised heavily and worn by famous actresses, often with high heels popular in the West. However, when the Communist Party took control of mainland China in 1949, the qipao quickly went out of style. By 1966 it was banned by the ruling party. In Hong Kong, on the southeast coast of China, however,which until 1997 was a crown colony of britrian with a majority Chinese population, the qipao never went out of style. The dress was particularly popular during the 1950s and 1960s, for it marked Hong Kong's resistance to the changes being brought to China by the Communists, who severely restricted what the Chinese people could wear.

The qipao is truly attractive; however, it does not necessitate the wearer to verve up the appearance with accessories such as belts and scarves. It could display all the women's softness, modesty and beauty. Mature women wearing the qipao could show their elegant and refined manners. Similar to the temperament of Chinese women, the qipao is gentle and pleasing to the eyes. Its permanent elegance and calmness makes the wearers charming. It is really nice to wear qipao.

The Short Qipao is the dress that most westerners associate with china. It is a long, close-fitting dresses with short sleeves, a slit up one side, a mandarin collar, and a fastening across the right side of the upper chest. The qipao, also known as the qipao or the cheung sam, is considered the national dress of china, a major island off the coast of China. Though outsiders see the qipao as typically Chinese, in fact the dress represents a mixing of Chinese and Western boutique clothing styles.

Traditional Qipao Dress Enhance Your Beauty



The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion. The name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong Province (Cantonese). In other parts of the country including Beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it. Among all the dresses in the world, the qipao would probably win the prize of the classiest, sexiest and most difficult to wear. Wearing a qipao is more than wearing a regular dress. It carries a world of exoticism and history.


Although a Qipao seems very exotic to Western girls, it can in fact be worn at many occasions, and is in Asia! You'll see them worn at weddings, work, parties and every other kind of occasion you can think of if you travel to the Orient. Therefore, by being a little daring and choosing a qipao you can really stand out at your next party, as they are probably the one special occasion dress that most girls won't think to wear in the West.

Nowadays, the qipao is setting free from the traditional flowers, birds and dragons, and we can see more modern styles appearing. Some even feature very psychedelic designs and colors, making it the dress for all occasions! I would recommend that every woman try at least once one of those fantastic dresses. As a China-based friend of mine once said: 'When men see a woman in a qipao, they can't help but stare. It's the only dress that they would like off a woman, but won't dare touch because a woman in a qipao is just beautiful.' Powerful, huh?

Just because a qipao is a more exotic type of occasions dress it doesn't mean that you need to pay the world to get one even if you are far from China! Log on to the internet and do a search for them and you'll be surprised to see that even silk qipaos can be purchased for pretty reasonable prices as long as you are willing to wait for delivery from the East!

Comfortable to wear, the Qipao Dress fits well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high, collar lady in cheongsamclosed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape. Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.

Fashion Women with Modern Cheongsam




A cheongsam is a one-piece Chinese dress that can flatter your body figure, most of them hit the knee or even shorter, and more often, they are sleeveless. They are sexy, they are catchy, and they can be wore alone in warm seasons, while some women might find it hard to choose a warm keeper to go with a cheongsam dress, when in fact, cheongsam dresses are more versatile than you might think.

If you're far more conventional when it comes to browsing for posts of apparel and choose to try prior to deciding to get, you're going to need to have a look at brick and mortar outlets relatively than on the internet. The challenge is that the vast vast majority of standard apparel stores basically don't carry Chinese Cheongsams. If this is the problem you are encountering, you really should examine Chinese specialty stores rather. These kind of shops can be identified at most bigger shopping centers, and so they often carry a wide variety of inexpensive imported Chinese merchandise, including attractive things and attire.

For those of you who have never worn a cheongsam before, you will be amazed by how beautiful, elegant and charming a well-made piece can make you look once you put it on. The silhouette of a well-fitted cheongsam is made to accentuate the best of your figure and to express your feminine side. Interestingly, woman of many shapes and sizes (including plus-size) can wear a cheongsam, as long as the size is right.
