Embroidery of traditional skirts

This kind of dress is called horse face skirt, and Han women have a tradition of wearing skirts. At first, ladies in the Qing Dynasty generally wore cheongsam instead of skirts, with the exception of court dresses (see old photos of Cixi). In the late Qing Dynasty, the exchange of Manchu and Chinese costumes increased, and Manchu women began to wear Chinese clothes. Horse face skirt is one of them, which is characterized by a flat skirt door and pleats on both sides of the skirt. The skirt door and skirt body can be embroidered with various patterns (not one). There was no dress in the Qing Dynasty, and the embroidered part was actually a part of the skirt body, just a dress door for feeding.

The clothes in the logic palace do not contain this kind of skirt. Gege in the late Qing Dynasty was probably able to keep up with the fashion at home, but she couldn't wear it when she entered the palace. Do you think the old photos of Wanrong are like this? The reason why Qing Palace dramas such as Huanzhu adopted skirts was because the skirt style under the tunic was really beautiful and the figure was in line with the tastes of modern audiences, and the tunic of cheongsam did not appear until the Republic of China. Princess Gege of the Qing Dynasty wore a short mandarin jacket as lovely as the one in the photo, which should be covered outside a long cheongsam with no waist. At that time, Han women could wear short gowns and long skirts, which was originally a discrimination against Han people, but it was a pity that the figure of Manchu MM was wronged. After the Republic of China, the cheongsam gown had a waist, which gradually shortened the exposure of the skirt, and later became the habit style of the skirt, just like the picture, which was actually an improved gown skirt during the Republic of China. Don't be disappointed, just wear it if it looks good, whether the ancients wore it or not. Now is an era of crossing.
