I researched for two hours about the knee coverings (Bixi) and then found out I was researching the wrong thing OTL 😭
The pleated half-sleeves are super cute. I love throwing it on with any Hanfu outfit from this period just to add some flair. Essentially people were trying to go for "flowing, floating, whimsical" so the long sleeves, the draping knee coverings, the trailing waist ties (didn't draw it in) was all to emphasize you're walking on air.
