The Dakota is a black ribbed knit mini dress designed with a mandarin collar and cheongsam opening. A front slit and hand-tied pipa knot buttons bring a signature finish to the silhouette. Part of our Modern Cheongsam series, the Dakota reimagines one of Chinese fashion's most enduring silhouettes for today's wardrobe. Also known as a qipao, the cheongsam is celebrated for its elegant lines and distinctive design details. At SAU LEE, we express its heritage through contemporary design, contributing to the continued evolution of Chinese fashion.
