Chest-length underskirts are a type of women's underskirts that began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties of my country. It is mainly named according to the position of the skirt, which is different from the high-waist skirt.
Generally, the skirt of a high-waist skirt is above the waist and below the chest; while the skirt of a waist-length skirt is at the waist; similarly, the skirt of a chest-length skirt is under the armpits.
At present, no cultural relics of chest-length skirts have been unearthed, but there are ancient paintings that have survived. It can be seen that chest-length skirts really existed in our history.
Generally, there are two types of chest-length skirts that we know. One is the chest-length skirt with two lapels, that is, the chest-length skirt with two lapels open in half and buttons in the center of the chest; the other is the cross-collar style. A chest-length underskirt, that is, the front of the dress intersects with the left and right sides, and is usually covered to the right, that is, the right hem.
Chest-length underskirts were very popular among maids in the Tang Dynasty. We can see traces of chest-high underskirts in theme dramas based on the Tang Dynasty such as the film and television production "The Long Song of Zhenguan".
The editor personally likes the design of the chest-length underskirt because it can vividly express the delicate, delicate, smart and cute image of my daughter. Recently, the costumes of the female characters in "Jiuzhou Piaomiao Lu" starring brother Haoran also adopted the design of chest-length underskirts.
Therefore, the editor selected several sets of beautiful Hanfu skirts to share with everyone.
1. White with golden bird patternGold gauze skirt
Jiang Shuying has always given the audience the impression of a modern intellectual woman. This time she was willing to play a supporting role and contribute her first costume role, which surprised everyone.
The role of Gong Yuyi is set as the aunt of the heroine Yu Ran. She is responsible for reviving the Yu clan. She submits to the Lord of Baili Kingdom and works hard to survive. In the play, her clothing style basically adopts the design of chest-length skirt.
The most perfect set among them is this pure white palace outfit with gold inlay. The pattern of the skirt adopts the flying bird pattern that matches the feather tribe, and the design of the chest-high underskirt shows the femininity of women. However, the wing-shaped accessories on the neck show the character's unusual background and identity.
"I am a noble daughter, but I am inferior to others. One day, I will revive my clan." The other sets of Jiang Jiang's chest-length skirts are also very beautiful, so I won't show them here. Go watch them in the drama now~!
2. Lilac breast-length undershirt
This time Wang Ou's appearance in Jiuzhou Piaomiaolu was well received by the audience. Wang Ou previously played the classic character Wang Manchun, a femme fatale with a fierce personality who dares to love and hate.
This time, Su Shunqing, played by Wang Ou, is a Meizu with complex emotional clues and a bizarre life experience.
Every time I follow an episode of the show, the editor laments that Wang Ou is truly a beauty.
She mainly wears three sets of clothes in the play. This set is her palace dress, a lavender dark patterned double-breasted skirt with a chest length, which is as elegant as orchid. The double-breasted gauze makes the whole outfit look less heavy, giving people a soft and quiet feeling, which is very beautiful.
3. Pure white gold patterned cloth skirt
In the play, the heroine Yuran, the princess of the Yu clan, is played by Song Zuer. This character is lively and unruly, and often travels disguised as a man.
Her palace costume design is different from other women's palace costumes that mostly use gauze, but is made directly from solid-color fabrics. Appearing elegant and generous,
butOne of the characteristics of the chest-high underskirt is that its feminine features are very prominent. Therefore, even if Yuran appears in this dress that does not look weak, we will not forget that she is a weak girl.
4. Yellow robe and skirt with four-horned deer pattern
It is said that in this TV series version of Jiuzhou Piaomiaolu, Jiangnan increased the role of Princess Xiaozhou and turned it into the CP of the male protagonist Liu Haoran.
Princess Xiaozhou, played by Taiwanese actress Chen Haoyu, is an ambitious young politician. It can be said that she looks like a young version of Gong Yuyi.
Because she is a member of the royal family, her overalls are made of bright yellow, and the four-antlered deer embroidered on it shows the character's innocent and youthful character. Compared to the others, this dress is very distinctive because of its bright colors.
After seeing so many beautiful skirts, are you impressed by the richness and colorfulness of our country’s clothing culture? I hope you can join me in appreciating this charming world of Hanfu.
