Interest in Chinese fashion was increasing after the US worked alongside China in World War II. Although the idea of communism was still seen as a threat, there was a newfound level of interest in the country after they proved their worth in the eyes of Americans. As such, Americans began to adopt styles common in movies depicting China to such an extent that sewing patterns were distributed nationwide.

第二次世界大战期间中美合作之后，美国人对中国时尚产生了兴趣。尽管美国人将共产主义视为威胁，但在中国表明他们再次值得美国人关注之后，他们对该国重新产生了兴趣。因此，美国人开始穿像在电影中看到人物的衣服，这导致公司在全国范围内出售缝制图案。
