Went through the Hanfu tag and removed the tag from images that feature the qipao since Hanfu specifcially refers to the traditional/imperial style and aesthetic of ancient China with Han Chinese origins.
The qipao (as we know it) represents a much newer evolution in Chinese women's fashion and actually has Manchu origins, as it first reached modern popularity during the 1910's-1920's in Shanghai, most popularly associated with urban high society during the final years of the (Manchu) Qing Dynasty's rule.

Qipao Examples:
Although the qipao is an iconic represenation of traditional Chinese fashion, it isn't Hanfu or Han in origin. 🤓😇
Thanks for this insight! I was familiar with the Manchu origin of the qipao. That it became popular in Shanghai basically around/after the collapse of the Manchu Qing dynasty is very unexpected! One would think they would be fed up with everything related to the Manchu's. Interesting!
陈冬梅 Chén Dōngméi looks like 陈小妹 Chén Xiǎomèi (小妹 xiǎomèi "little sister" seems to me to be a socmed alias)
