Qipao, for example (5)
I believe the answer is:
dress
'qipao for example' is the definition.
(I know that cheongsam is a type of dress)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for dress that I've seen before include "Put on one's clothes" , "Cultivate < tidy" , "female garment" , "This woman might slip on" , "Straighten the line" .)
