FIUME
as
a Chinese lady
Because of my obsession with Asian traditional costumes
I couldn't resist to sew a hanfu for Fiume. It is
said, that the most elegant, beautiful and daring costumes were
worn in era of Tang dynasty (618-907). The costume I made
can be theoretically hanfu of ru qun (jacket+skirt) type,
but truth is that I found a picture of a Chinese fan in a similar
costume, and it looked so fine and aetherical....
The costume consists of the white and pink sleeveless dress, the
flowered skirt, opened at front, the short sheer jacket with
double trims and the white belt with green ties. The satin
shoes and the top of rhe dress are embroidered, to the costume
belongs also the jade disc, hanging from a Chinese knot, the
necklace, the pink shawl and the hand painted silk "court"
fan.
