your recent posts abt the misconceptions of ming/qing han fashion have been rly interesting. there's a post on @/chinesehanfu's blog labelled 'late ming' [i cant send links in asks for you to find it but the models were 陈喜悦耶 and 夫诸Fzz], how accurate are the men & women's costumes in this for 'late ming'?

I think you're referring to this post? I would say this isn't outright *wrong* per se, but extremely suspicious. Peony hair in some of its capacity had existed in the 1650s and 60s, when some Southern Ming states were still around, but it certainly wasn't Ming Dynasty proper. I looked at the original post on Weibo and op didn't specify which period it was, so it might well be intended as Southern Ming or Kangxi era Han costume and there was a misunderstanding in the repost. The reference images are of unclear provenance and look to be from the mid 17th century.
