The main costumes of Xibo costumes

Women should pay attention to dress, wear a foot-long cheongsam, stick lace or embroidered wide edges, and cover the vest. The vest has double-breasted buttons, large-breasted buttons and lace. Skirts, cuffs, neckline and hem are all inlaid with piping. Wear black leg straps, white socks and embroidered shoes. Girls and unmarried girls wear long braids and all kinds of "wool", do not cut hair curtains, love flowers on their heads and braids, wear gold (silver) earrings and elegant cheongsam. Put a colored handkerchief in the pocket of the right waist, and half of the handkerchief is exposed outside the pocket. Wear embroidered cloth shoes to show youthful vitality. At the wedding, the bride wore Jitaku (Xibo headdress, that is, cloth headband) inlaid with shells, precious stones and gold and silver ornaments, and the next row of silver chains or beads hung on her forehead. Within one year after marriage, you should still wear Gita Ku to participate in larger festivals.

The daughter-in-law's dress is not much different from that of the girl, but it is brighter than the girl. Hair styles are different, too. Daughter-in-law combs her hair into a "dragon bun", bangs on her forehead and swallowtail on her back. Her hair swelled up on her head and was coiled in a bun. In daily life, she combs her braids into double braids or two "catch buns" to form a big bun. Hair oil, without hair oil, the water soaked in elm bark is also sticky and shiny. You can apply powder on your face, lipstick on your mouth and nails on your hands. There is a gold hairpin on the head bun and a gold (silver, jade) bracelet on the wrist.

Married women have wings on their heads. Women wear earrings, bracelets, rings, etc. Both men and women wear black leg straps, young women wear red and pink leg straps, and white leg straps are worn at funerals. Today, the clothing of Xibo nationality scattered in the northeast is the same as that of local Han nationality and Manchu nationality. Although Xibo women in Xinjiang still like to wear cheongsam, and their big skirts, hems and cuffs have piping as long as their feet, their costumes have changed obviously, especially young people have put on dresses. Men wear double-breasted jackets with ankle-tight trousers and long-sleeved robes in winter.

When the elderly women go out, they should hold a cigarette bag in their hands and wrap cigarettes for each other when they visit.

Xibe women are good at embroidery, just like men can ride and shoot. If a woman can't embroider, she will be looked down upon. Embroidery patterns are mostly flowers, birds, fish and insects.
