Fengxian cheongsam (Note: a kind of cheongsam named after a famous Chinese geisha, Fengxian)
here the costume refers to a special kind of cheongsam named after a famous Chinese geisha of the Qing Dynasty of China whose name is 凤仙(Fengxian).
Actually, the source term character is wrong, it shall be "凤“ not "风"
装 refers to 服装(costume), but here it exactly means a cheongsam.

It should not be translated as it is actually a proper noun, with cultural connotation in it. No matter how you rendered it, its cultural connotation would be lost. We could understand it better if we knew this lady "Fengxian"
