陰丹士林是一種源自印度的有機合成染料，能染棉、絲、毛等纖維和紡織品，顏色種類很多，但以藍色最為常見。中國廠商用此進口染料染製出「陰丹士林色布」，為女學生、知識分子和大家閨秀所鍾愛，藉以剪裁出稱身的旗袍。因該布多屬純色，穿在身上樸素大方、不落俗套。
Iondanthren was an organically synthesised dye from India. It was used to colour many kinds of fabric, including cotton, silk and wool. The dye was available in many colours but the most common was blue. Chinese manufacturers made use of this dye to produce what was known as Iondanthren Cloth. Female students, intellectuals and the daughters of prestigious families loved to have exquisitely tailored qipao made out of the fabric. Since the fabric came mostly in one single colour, the final product was natural yet tasteful. ■資料：香港歷史博物館
