Liuyun Bridge (流云桥) | Plus Size Stretch Qipao | Double-Layer Bubble Chiffon | Slim-Cut Long Cheongsam | New Chinese Style Daily Wear
Graceful, flattering, and designed with the fuller figure in mind — the Liuyun Bridge (流云桥) qipao is a new Chinese style (新中式) long cheongsam crafted in stretch bubble chiffon (弹力泡泡纱), a double-layer fabric that combines a soft, textured surface with gentle stretch for all-day comfort. The slim-cut silhouette (修身版型) is designed to define the waist and elongate the figure, while the double-layer construction (双层) provides coverage and opacity without weight or stiffness. A back zip closure (后拉链) ensures a clean, uninterrupted front line. Available in sizes S through 5XL — this is a qipao designed to be worn and loved by women of all sizes.
✦ Design Details

- Colourway: Liuyun Bridge (流云桥) — a poetic name evoking flowing clouds and graceful movement
- Fabric: Stretch bubble chiffon (弹力泡泡纱) — double-layer (双层), soft, textured, and gently stretchy

✦ Fabric Notes
The stretch bubble chiffon (弹力泡泡纱) is chosen specifically for its combination of properties that make it ideal for a flattering plus-size qipao. The bubble texture adds visual interest and a subtle three-dimensional quality to the fabric surface, while the stretch ensures comfortable ease of movement without the fabric pulling or restricting. The double-layer construction provides full opacity and a smooth, polished appearance — no lining required, and no transparency concerns. The fabric is lightweight enough for spring and summer wear, yet substantial enough to drape beautifully and hold the slim-cut silhouette.
✦ Size Guide
All measurements below are garment measurements taken flat by hand in centimetres (cm) — these are the dimensions of the garment itself, not body measurements. Due to the stretch fabric, the garment will accommodate a range of body sizes within each size. All measurements are taken by hand — a variance of 1–3 cm is normal. 1 inch = 2.54 cm | 1 kg = 2.205 lbs | 1 foot = 30.48 cm.

📐 Sizing Tips
- This qipao is made from stretch bubble chiffon — the fabric has gentle stretch, so the garment will accommodate a range of body sizes within each size. Select your size primarily by bust and hip.
- Garment measurements ≠ body measurements. For a comfortable slim-cut fit, your body bust / waist / hip should be 2–4 cm smaller than the garment measurements. The stretch fabric provides additional ease.
- The dress length is 125 cm across all sizes — if you are petite (under 158 cm / 5'2"), the hem may reach the floor or require hemming. If you are taller (over 168 cm / 5'6"), the hem will sit above the ankle.
- The back zip closure makes it easy to put on and take off — ensure the zip closes comfortably without pulling at the bust or hip.
- If your measurements fall between two sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit, especially at the bust and hip.
- A variance of 1–3 cm in garment measurements is normal due to hand measurement and stretch fabric.

✦ Style Guide
The Liuyun Bridge Qipao is a dress that proves elegance has no size limit. The stretch bubble chiffon — soft, textured, and gently forgiving — moves with the body rather than against it, creating a silhouette that is simultaneously structured and comfortable. The slim cut defines the waist without constricting it; the double-layer fabric provides coverage and confidence without weight or stiffness; and the back zip closure ensures a clean, polished front line from neckline to hem. At 125 cm, the dress falls to a floor-grazing length that is formal enough for a banquet or cultural event, yet refined enough for an elevated daily look. The Liuyun Bridge colourway — its name evoking the graceful arc of clouds reflected in still water — is a colour that photographs beautifully and wears with quiet authority. Pair with embroidered flats or a low block heel, simple jade or pearl jewellery, and a neat updo for a complete, cohesive new Chinese style look.
🧺 Care Instructions
- Hand wash in cold water or machine wash on gentle cycle — turn inside out before washing to protect the bubble chiffon surface
- Do not bleach — bleaching will damage the fabric colour and texture
- Do not wring or twist — gently press out excess water and hang immediately on a wide hanger
- Hang to dry in shade — avoid direct sunlight to prevent colour fading
- Do not tumble dry — heat may damage the bubble chiffon texture and stretch properties
- Iron on low temperature with a pressing cloth if needed — do not iron directly on the bubble chiffon surface
- Store hanging on a wide hanger to maintain the dress silhouette and prevent fabric creasing at the zip

A treasure: surprisingly easy read for being so well researched and referenced
Format: Paperback
was recommended by Chris Kresser (Healthy Sceptic blog). I admit I was skeptical: the titel, at first glance, comes across as pretentious, and the front page has a weird 80s feel to it. Anyway, Chris knows his stuff, so I bought it.
The PHD book is priceless. Yes, this is the best book about diet. I had been on a Paleo diet for a month when I got the book. I was motivated to change my diet, but after reading the book, first quickly once, and then more carefully a second time, I was even more motivated. I was convinced that I had to make a change for life.
Other reviewers have summarized the contents well, so I will not. Eliminate processed foods, grains (except rice), legumes and most sugars. Stick to high fat diary. Bottom line in terms of macronutrient ratios is: not too much carbs, plenty of good fats, and ideally some protein restriction.
I believe better authors could not have been found. Even though Shou-Ching Jaminet is a cancer researcher, none of them came to this from a medical or nutrition background, which is probably an advantage. They have experienced chronic disease themselves, and were committed to find solutions and understand pathways that were not well understood. They have enormous intellectual capacity (scrutinizing studies from PubMed the way they do is, well, impressive). They are open minded. And, not the least, I think they are driven by not only intellectual curiosity, but alturism, which, gives the whole project a very humane and caring feel to it.
What is the difference between this diet and the Paleo diet?
There are many variations of the Paleo diet, but Cordain at least recommends lean meats, which is the opposite of what the PHD recommends. The PHD "allows" full fat diary and rice, which is not recommended by most other Paleo diets. The PHD also has a rather specific macronutrient ratio recommendation.
The results?
Well, I started on a Paleo / GAPS protocol about a month before I got this book, so I cannot really say that all the improvements I have had can be attributed to this book. And after 48 hours without any processed foods, grains, legumes, sugar (apart from low carb from starches) and diary, I went from standing, sitting and walking with great joint pain, to only slight pain. A skin condition I had improved as well.
Two weeks after I got the book, I tried using almost only rice as my carbohydrate source for 10 days. That increased my joint pain slightly. I think I in any case might have been in the high range of the carbohydrate intake during this period, which might be the reason for the change to the worse, rather than the type of starch I ate. The other thing though, is that once I started eating rice, and maybe too generous portions, my carb cravings were significantly elevated. I will try to stick mostly to sweet potatoes, taro, pumpkin, carrots, zucchini, berries and fruits (in the morning) for carbs.
I have started implementing their supplement regime. I was skeptical at first, because, like many people, I prefer getting micronutrients from food, not supplements. But I decided to try since I had some heath issues and blood panel results that had to be improved. After about two weeks, I feel a bit better. I have a bit more energy and my head feels clearer.
Am I skeptical to anything? Not much.
- As I said, they convinced me to try their supplement regime and I do not regret it. I think anyone with an autoimmune condition, chronic disease - even a suspected chronic infection - should do so. For those who are fortunate to be 100% healthy and full of energy, well, maybe they do not need to take all the supplements if the diet is very dialed in.
- At first I thought the macronutrient ratios were a bit too rigid. After reading the book a second time, I felt they presented a convincing argument. I will never weigh and measure my food, so I do not know exactly what my macro ratios look like, but the book provides very useful guidance.
- Then, rice. I would have liked to see a bit more on why they think rice is a "safe" grain. Also, since it is not very nutrient dense, I think it gets a bit too much favorable mention. Eating food with low nutrient density and then taking lots of supplements does not sound like a perfect health diet. But this is a detail - people do not have to eat a lot of rice on this diet, and it is good to know that it is pretty okay to eat it from time to time.
I have used their blog a lot, for tweaking my supplement regime, for recipes etc. It is an excellent companion to the book.
For the next edition, I have the following wishes:
- An index
- Improvements in lay-out (sorry, but it is incredibly ugly): margins needed, footnotes can be smaller, table of contents more reader friendly etc.
- A chapter with summary recommendations for common autoimmune conditions and chronic infections.
- A bit more info on diary. Why high fat diary is okay for most people, and for what conditions diary should be eliminated completely (and why).
Conclusion:
I honestly think this book is such a treasure. I have translated and adapted the main recommendations into my native language for my family. It is difficult to persuade anyone about diet, but it is difficult not to try with people you really love. I do not doubt for a second that following the recommendations contained in this book can go a long way in reversing, even curing diseases, and definitely preventing diseases. I feel very grateful to Paul and Shou-Ching Jaminet. Thank you.

Changed My Life
Format: Hardcover
The year the Green Bay Packers drafted BJ Raji I remember being extremely shocked that I weighed almost the same as him (319 was my peak). Winter of 2009 I started riding a stationary bike fairly regularly, Spring of 2010 I started bike commuting regularly and by summer of 2012 I was down 60 pounds.
As I became more interested in fitness I was more interested in how the body handled different kinds of macro nutrients. I did a few random Google searches for a book on the topic and in June of 2012 I found a review of the original PHD edition which made it sound like what I wanted. I wasn't looking to change my diet, I had a lot of joint pain and was very susceptible to binge eating/drinking, but I was loosing weight so overall I was happy.
I remember reading the first chapter where it explained the "gotchyas" like having to give up wheat and laughing out loud at the though of it. I was a complete carb fiend to the point where I'd been baking my own homemade artisan breads.
I found the book to be a quick read, it took me only a week. I definitely went a bit cross eyed at some of the more complex biology, but overall I found it as entertaining as it was informative, and when I'd finished I thought "What the hell", I'll try it for a week or two and see what happens.
My first weekend was a little rough because I went out with some friends and because bar we were at only had fried foods, I ended up drinking way too much on an empty stomach. My first attempt at baking salmon the next day was promptly thrown up, but fortunately it didn't give me a bad taste for the fish.
In only a few days I started to notice how different being hungry felt. I'd always made it a point to have breakfast and not eat again until Lunch, but I usually had a few spikes of intense hunter which I had to fight past. On this diet the hunger was there but it was more of a casual suggestion.
Needless to say I had such an easy time on my two week trial that I kept the diet. That summer I lost as much weight as I had the previous two combined. I feel much more even in terms of mood, my mind feels sharper, I have a nice even energy level all day. I had hoped my joint pain would clear up faster, but it has definitely gotten better as well.
I'd been wanting to reread the PHD for a while, but I knew the new edition was coming out soon so I held off. I was aware of some of the changes from following the blog (which is excellent, it's such a trip to have Paul give expert answers to your questions personally), but still wanted to go through the whole thing again.
The new version is a definite improvement. Like I'd mentioned some of the biology in the original edition, particularly on the different types of fats, came early and confused and discouraged me a bit. This version they hook you in with simpler explanations and do a better job of building up the biology as you go.
Also after the original edition I had to do a lot of fine tuning to the diet based on questions I'd ask Paul on blog, or going back and reading other peoples questions. In this edition they do a much better job of practically spelling out things so its easier to jump in.
Finally the reader results that are included in the new edition are a really neat addition. I'd read a lot of them on the blog as well, but they're so amazing and inspiring, sprinkling them into the text the way they did was a really great idea.
After finishing this new edition I feel freshly excited about a diet I've been on for half a year. I also feel better about recommending this edition to friends because it reads so much easier.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to gain health, loose weight, or even just learn about how their bodies work.

I can't believe how much better I feel!
Format: Paperback
I had been eating (very) low-carb and high-protein for the better part of a decade - and I had gotten a lot of practice arrogantly dismissing suggestions (from any source) that I should change anything about my diet.
It is a testimony to the insightfulness of this book that it persuaded me to change.
How was I persuaded?
* The Jaminets are highly educated (Ph.D.s both), but not they're not nutritionists and are not bound by any party line.
* They amass a huge volume of scientific literature in support of their assertions - about 1/3 of every page is journal citations.
* They write clearly, and are clearly motivated by a desire to share the keys they've discovered for better health.
* Time after time, while reading, I exclaimed "so *that's* why!" - there's an overarching framework they build, and after reading it I have a much broader and deeper understanding of health and nutrition.
The changes I made were:
1. Eat a modest amount (15-20%) of calories as carbs from what they call "safe starches" (rice & potatoes in my case.)
2. Eat a large (~70%) of calories from fat. In particular, I consume dramatically more butter (kerrygold!), and I've added a fair bit of coconut oil too.
3. (As a result, the amount of protein I eat has dropped somewhat.)
4. Supplementing with a mix of the vitamins they recommend.
5. Doing a 24-hour fast once a week.
Results: (after 1.5 months or so.)
1. I'm no longer "brain-dead" and unable to think in the evenings after work.
2. I no longer have fruit or chocolate cravings.
3. I'm much happier, and wake up looking forward to the day.
4. I've been much more social.
5. The extra starch has not resulted in weight gain. (I always gained weight when eating carbs before.)
6. It looks like the fasting (which I've never tried before) is helping my alertness and also contributing to healthy weight loss.
It took less than a week for me to notice dramatic changes. The diet guidelines are straightforward and fit on a page, but the explanatory material is priceless. The Jaminets post on an ongoing basis at their perfecthealthdiet dot com blog as well.
I can't recommend this book highly enough.
