Manye Roujuan 蔓叶柔卷 Unfurling Leaves 1920s Jacquard Satin Embroidered Maxi Skirt

Product Info

As the world went through major transformations during the transition from 19th to 20th century, Chinese fashions infused traditional Chinese elements with Western tailoring. As a result, two-piece sets consisting of a qipao style top and long skirt were introduced.

The Manye Roujuan 蔓叶柔卷 Unfurling Leaves Maxi Skirt contains a unique feature: a hanfu style waistband! Highly adjustable, comfortable, and flattering on the waist; overlapping panels and waist ties create the perfect softly flared shape. 

Hand embroidered floral designs along the hem, complimented by subtle floral jacquard throughout the skirt. These long skirts pair perfectly with any 1920s qipao top, great as a petticoat for both qipaos and hanfu, plus it even looks great with a modern button down! 

While it may be a bit pricy, 一城风絮 (City of Wind) is one of the only brands creating historically accurate fashions from the Republic of China era. Impeccable attention to detail and tailoring, lasting pieces to pass down through generations. 

This item has a 7 day construction period.

• Main fabric: 50% lyocell, 35% viscose, 15% linen, light and breathable feel
