propose change: china_dress

Posted under Tags

I think china_dress, which was created in China from a non-Chinese dress from the ruling Manchu Qing dynasty, can be confused with hanfu. I think changing it to qipao, which is the accepted term for that dress, would be a better option.

BUR #17032 has been rejected.

create alias china_dress -> qipao

i am neutral to inverting the alias but in practice it just doesn't get such confusion

As suggested. Almost all of posts tagged China dress in fact, show the qipao. That tight-fitting, collared one.
I am all for changing the alias in order to prevent confusion with other similar dress-like Chinese clothes.
