I am personally really interested in traditional Chinese clothing. Growing up I have often learned about the different Chinese dynasties and how each of them is similar but yet very different. One of their main differences is the style of clothing. Despite those differences, traditional Chinese clothing is often layered and includes patterns/designs that represent the Chinese culture. However, as years passed, people start to be less traditional in the way they dress, making these types of clothing (especially the handmade ones) harder and harder to find.
All three garments above are Han Fu. They all include Chinese patterns/symbols and includes multiple layers. The first dress is often worn to perform the traditional Chinese sleeve dance, the second one is for the traditional fan dance, and the last outfit is the most similar to what women in the Han dynasty would wear. These garments stand out to me because of the traditional elements in them and the history behind this type of clothing. I am also really interested in how the designers put each layer together to allow the dress to make different shapes/movements as the person wearing them dances.
