What Is Included

• Big Sleeve Coat (大袖衫 / Da Xiu Shan): A loose outer layer with wide, flowing sleeves and floral detailing.
• Inner Top (上襦 / Shang Ru): A traditional-style upper garment designed to complement the raised-waist skirt.
• Qixiong Ruqun Dress (齐胸襦裙): A floor-length chest-high ruqun skirt with an elegant, fluid drape.
• Fur Collar: A soft-textured decorative trim around the neckline, with matching accents at the sleeves.

Design Highlights of This Tang Dynasty Hanfu

• Iconic high-waisted silhouette: The Qixiong Ruqun is worn above the natural waist, creating the long, graceful proportions associated with mid-to-late Tang Dynasty fashion.
• Statement-making wide sleeves: The oversized sleeves create beautiful movement when walking, posing, or turning, making the garment especially photogenic.
• Romantic floral details: Subtle floral embroidery and decorative motifs add a refined, feminine finish without overwhelming the flowing shape.
• Seasonal fur-trimmed styling: White fur-effect edging adds visual warmth and a luxurious winter-inspired touch.
• Layered color coordination: Pink, light blue, purple, and white accents create a soft palette reminiscent of classical Chinese paintings and spring blossoms.
• Complete coordinated ensemble: The included layers make it easier to recreate a polished Tang-style appearance without sourcing each garment separately.

The History Behind the Qixiong Ruqun

During the middle Tang Dynasty, women’s clothing gradually developed into looser, more expansive silhouettes. Sleeves became longer and wider, while the upper garment was often worn higher across the chest. This style became known as the Qixiong Ruqun, meaning a “chest-high ruqun.”

Tang fashion is often associated with the prosperous and cosmopolitan culture of the Silk Road era. The period welcomed influences from across Asia, and clothing reflected a fondness for vibrant color, generous volume, elaborate layering, and expressive beauty. The fuller, flowing silhouette is also frequently connected with the fashionable ideal represented in stories about Yang Guifei, the beloved consort of Emperor Xuanzong.

The traditional ensemble commonly combined a ru top, a wrapped or gathered qun skirt, and a dramatic outer layer known as the Da Xiu Shan. This modern recreation preserves the spirit of that layered construction while offering an accessible costume for contemporary wearers.
