Chinese hanfu photoshoot by 何也, inspired by Nina Ricci's Spring 1990 Couture outfit.

OP recreated the look with a white zhan guo pao (Warring States robe), hand-made rose belt and necklace, and mili/weimao hat.

Hello, it is nine goats playing with ruffles

They/9goats/creature

Today’s outfit is another largely mix and match effort. Banxiu ru 半袖襦 paired with a zhiju 直裾 that's worn half sleeve to expose the middle layer. Yupei 玉佩 on side. I just liked the color and texture combinations. This is not the "right" way to wear this, but I'm not a strict traditionalist.

Occassionally, I do my hair. I'm not that good and mostly do not know what to do with all the hair TT

Ok, heading back in time to the Qin/Han period, we're continuing with the straight-edged robe, Zhiju (直裾) (previous Zhiju post is here).

This Zhiju robe is nicknamed the fish-tail robe as it cinches around the calf and then flares out at the bottom (like our mermaid dresses today). It's easily identifiable de to the very thick border around the bottom, and up along the side to the waist. The artefacts that were unearthed were all shorter in comparison to other Zhiju robes (easier to walk in...I should get one of these xD).

While researching for this robe I found out that the Hunan Museum (which hosts the Ma Wang Dui tomb exhibition) has an English site introducing some of the artefacts that were unearthed.
