is there a name for the dress that maggie wears in that photo?

It's called a cheongsam, and is associated with China/Taiwan/Hong Kong. Geishas are Japanese, so they would wear a kimono.

I don't think anyone ever mentioned that the type of dress Maggie Cheung is wearing in the "In the Mood for Love" poster is called a cheongsam.

In case anyone was still wondering, ya know...
