1. What is a "horse face skirt"? What are the advantages and characteristics?
The horse-faced skirt has a long history, which can be traced back to the Song Dynasty and became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The names of horse-faced skirts are different in each period. The "Yuehua skirt" in the Ming Dynasty, the pleated skirt, the pleated skirt, and the phoenix tail skirt in the Qing Dynasty are all forms of horse-faced skirts.
The horse-faced skirt is trumpet-shaped, with a total of 4 skirt doors. Two overlapping skirts are called "horse-faced". The skirt is decorated with embroidery, streamers and other elements.
The patterns of most horse-faced skirts are more characteristic of national style, such as dragons and phoenixes, and auspicious clouds. These exquisite pattern embroideries appear on the skirt, which can always give people a sense of historical beauty.
2. How to choose the correct "horse face skirt"? Remember the following 3 points
01. The waistline should fit well and avoid being too tight or too loose
A major feature of the horse-faced skirt is its high-waist design. In order to avoid wearing it ill-fitting, it is recommended that you pay attention to your waistline when choosing. It should not be too loose or too tight. You should choose a well-fitting waistline to present the most comfortable fit. It can also improve the shape of your body while wearing it. It is recommended that horse-faced skirts be purchased offline as much as possible so that you can try them on so that you can buy the most suitable style.
02. Strictly control skirt length, preferably full length or nine minutes
Unlike other styles of skirts on the market, such as thigh-exposed short skirts or floor-length skirts, horse-faced skirts have very strict length requirements.Harsh, mainly nine-point and full-length styles. Too long or too short are not enough to show the classical style of horse-faced skirts. It is recommended that petite girls prefer a nine-point pony-faced skirt, which will expose the skin appropriately and make them look lighter; taller girls can try a full-length skirt, which will make them appear more agile and elegant.
03. Prefer solid colors and printed styles
With the popularity of horse-faced skirts, some horse-faced skirts have appeared on the market that are more modern in design, with simple solid colors, and have completely lost the original Chinese style charm of horse-faced skirts. Therefore, it is recommended that when choosing a horse-faced skirt, you should try to choose a style with solid colors and printed overlays, integrating retro and modern styles, and combining traditional and simple styles to be elegant and noble.
