How to wear a bellyband?

Chinese corsets are octagonal or oval, made of leftover bits and pieces. There are more than two or three layers of symmetrical thick cloth, and the surface is made up of dozens of small triangular pieces. There is a long cloth belt sewn at the upper corner for hanging around the neck, and there are also belts at the two corners for tying around the waist.

Chinese-style chest covering, also known as "tube covering", is a kind of underwear that protects the chest and abdomen in China traditional dress. The shape is mostly square or rectangular, with diagonal design, the upper corner is cut into a concave semicircle, and the lower corner is a sharp corner or a circle. The front of Chinese-style chest covering usually has patterns, including printing and embroidery. Most of the popular prints are blue calico, with auspicious patterns such as "Giving birth to a precious child", "Sending a unicorn to a child", "Phoenix wearing peony" and "More than one year". Embroidered Chinese corsets are more common, and the theme patterns of embroidery are mostly China folklore or some folk customs. For example, the golden toad in Liu Hai's play, the magpie in plum blossom, the mandarin duck in the water, the lotus flower and other flowers and insects are mostly auspicious and happy themes.
