AI image by LocalRankA cheongsam, or qipao, can be commissioned from an atelier, fitted at a tailor, or bought ready-to-wear from a homegrown label, and Singapore has all three routes. This guide gathers seven places that publish cheongsams on their own sites, from couture-style custom work to modern everyday cuts in linen and batik. We describe each as it presents itself, so check current collections, fitting arrangements and lead times directly before you commit. Prices are left out because they change often. Use the list to decide first whether you want made-to-measure or off-the-rack, then shortlist two or three places and ask about timing for your date.
1. Zion Creation
Zion Creation describes itself as an independent ladies' fashion house in Singapore with more than thirty years of experience in custom-made modern cheongsams and evening gowns. Its site separates an atelier, which it says is by appointment only for bespoke work, fittings and alterations, from a retail outlet in the same building where walk-ins are welcome. Collections listed include long and cocktail-length modern cheongsams, plus-size cheongsams, and outfits for the mother of the bride or groom. It also mentions demi-couture pieces that can be altered to fit. Appointments can be requested through an online booking form, by phone or by WhatsApp, and the team confirms the slot afterwards. A good match if you want a made-to-measure cheongsam for a wedding or banquet.
2. Outpost Clothing
Outpost presents itself as a Singapore tailor for custom cheongsams, or qipao, and dresses. Its site organises the range into named collections: Grace for mothers of the bride or groom, with heirloom qipao and evening gowns; Dawn for bridal; Dusk for menswear, including Tang-style oriental suits and couple sets; and Echo, a batik and fusion line. The showroom is on the second level of Shaw House, within Isetan Scotts, and the site says visits are arranged through its appointment page or by WhatsApp. It lists no email address on the page we read. This is a sensible stop if you want matching outfits for a family occasion. Outpost also appears on our tailoring guide.

3. Lark & Peony
Lark & Peony is a Singapore label that sells modern cheongsams and kebayas, with a dedicated cheongsam category alongside tops, bottoms, dresses and coordinated sets. Its homepage currently features collections such as The House of Peony Blossoms, The Kebaya Edit and the Nya series, and the site says it also has a physical store on Orchard Road with limited weekly opening days. Shopping is online by style or collection, with a gift card option and a mailing list, and its contact section lists an email address and a WhatsApp link. The label suits shoppers who want a ready-to-wear cheongsam in contemporary prints that can also work as an everyday dress, and kebaya options for variety.

4. The Missing Piece
The Missing Piece is a Singapore fashion brand whose site includes a Modern Cheongsam category in its ladies' range, alongside dresses, jumpsuits, tops and sets. It describes its mission as making beautiful clothes in a beautiful way and focuses on stylish, durable pieces; recent collections named on its homepage include a festive edit and a collaboration range. The site invites shoppers to visit its studio at Cluny Court and at New Bahru, and its contact page lists separate email routes for general sales enquiries and for customisation or collaborations. Worth a look if you prefer cheongsam-inspired shapes in modern fabrics, and want an option to ask the team about customisation before ordering.

5. YeoMama Batik
YeoMama Batik is a Singapore label with a Cheongsams category on its online store, where batik-printed cheongsam dresses sit among its other womenswear collections. Its site lists a main store in Raffles City and a studio at Oxley Bizhub in Ubi, and notes that the studio opens only on certain days of the week, so check before travelling. Its 2026 campaigns are shown on the homepage, and a sale section for cheongsams appears in the menu. The enquiries page lists a general email address and a WhatsApp number for messages only, and the menu links to a customisation page. A fit for anyone who wants a cheongsam in batik rather than classic silk brocade.

6. You Living
You Living describes itself as a Singapore-designed slow fashion label making clothing from breathable fabrics. Its Modern Cheongsam line is listed as made in natural linen, ramie and cotton, with cap-sleeve and three-quarter-sleeve cheongsam dresses, a cocoon-style dress, and samfoo-style tops in botanical and abstract prints. The site does not give a street address; it points visitors to a stockists page, which currently names one retailer at Funan, and its customer care page lists an email address. This is a practical option if you want a lighter, everyday cheongsam for Singapore weather rather than a heavily structured occasion piece, and you are happy to shop mostly online or ask the brand where to try pieces on.

7. Joli Pretty
Joli Pretty is an online shop that, in its own words, was set up to share a love of the modern cheongsam, with shapes and prints suited to current lifestyles. Its about page says it hand-picks fabrics from Singapore, the United States, Japan, Korea and elsewhere in Asia, and has seamstresses make the pieces. The site lets you browse by occasion, including work, casual, and wedding and party, and by material such as lace, batik, and cotton and linen. It also has a pre-order lead-time page, which is worth reading before ordering for a fixed date. Customer service is by email and a contact form on weekdays. Best for shoppers who are comfortable buying online.

How to choose
- Decide between custom and ready-to-wear first. A made-to-measure cheongsam from an atelier involves consultations, measurements and fittings over several weeks, while labels that sell off the rack are quicker. Ask each shop how long a commission takes and when to book so your event date is safe.
- Check the occasion and the fabric together. A wedding banquet may call for brocade, silk or lace, while everyday wear suits linen, cotton or batik. Ask the shop which fabrics it works with, how they feel in Singapore's humidity, and whether lining or stretch is available.
- Look at how fit is handled. Some places offer fittings and alterations, others rely on size guides and returns. Read the exchange policy before ordering online, and ask whether alterations are offered after purchase, especially for a piece you plan to wear once to an event.
- Match the style to the person wearing it. Mother of the bride, bridesmaid, office and festive looks differ in collar height, sleeve length and slit. Bring photos, mention the dress code, and ask the shop to recommend cuts that suit your frame instead of copying a runway image.
- Confirm the practical details before paying. Opening days at appointment-only ateliers change, collections rotate, and lead times vary around Lunar New Year. Contact the shop to confirm stock, appointment slots and delivery, and keep key agreements, such as deadlines and what is included, in writing.
