5. Sunee, Changle Road
Named after the shop's owner and chief designer, Sunee appeals to those who love flowers; the store needles vivid floral patterns onto the surfaces of their Qipao. Customers can also bring their own silk or cotton cloth, rather than buy materials directly from the store.
If you are looking for a souvenir as a gift for friends, you can also ask the designer for a handbag, exclusively made for you. Prices are only 30 to 120 yuan ($5 to $19).
