Hanfu Fashion - Ma Mian Skirt

From Chi Zhou Hanfu

[strangekaleidoscopesewing]

Just wanted to share a hanfu I completed recently!

It consists of four pieces: a long overcoat, a sheer pink inner coat, a solid pink top inside the inner coat, and a black mamianqun (pleated skirt). The overcoat has patterned cuffs and a patterned collar made out of the same fabric as the mamianqun (if you look closely, you can see the pattern on the collar and sleeve cuffs on the mamianqun itself). On the back of the coat, I hand-painted a dragon and phoenix that was based on the design of the front panel of the mamianqun. (I do Chinese painting and calligraphy, so I just used fabric paint and some Chinese painting techniques.) The sheer inner coat is made of a sheer pink fabric with blue bias tape finishings on its collar and sleeves. The pink top inside the collar has an embroidered collar (jiaolingyouren, closes on right as per traditional Chinese garments) and ties on the inside and outside (not visible here because they are covered by the skirt and by the shirt itself). The mamianqun arguably took me the longest to complete: it has seven front-facing pleats and seven back-facing pleats on each side, which took me way too long to iron lol. It has ties that wrap around the back and tie in the front. All fabric except from the pink and blue solid colors is from Taobao, and the bias tape is from Joanns.

This is a pretty untraditional combination of garments; I've seen the mamianqun worn primarily with a square-neck top (not sure what this is called, but I think it was from the Ming dynasty period?), and never with a top with a jiaolingyouren. I modified patterns from the book "Traditional and Modernized Hanfu Pattern Making" by TT Duong, which I highly recommend :) The entire project took a total of 30-40 hours (conservative estimate) and the fabric painting took 7 hours.

Overall I'm really proud of the entire project! I created this so that I could enter it into the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards under Fashion (I'm a high schooler) and I had a lot of fun making it :) I'm thinking of making a green one next!

Feeling Fashion Stuck? Try This Mamianqun!

✨ What is Mamianqun? ✨ Mamianqun, also known as the "horse-face skirt," is a traditional Chinese skirt with a rich history dating back to the Ming Dynasty. Its unique design features overlapping panels that create a beautiful, flowing silhouette, making it both elegant and comfortable.

🔸 History and Significance Mamianqun was originally worn by women of the Han ethnicity and became popular for its practicality and aesthetic appeal. The skirt's name, "horse-face," refers to the square panels that resemble a horse's face when viewed from the side. Today, it is celebrated as a symbol of Chinese heritage and fashion.

as my first post on this sewing blog, i figured i'd post my 馬面裙 (mamianqun) and 交領右任 (jiaolingyouren) that I made!

i made this as a muslin so that i can figure out if i need to adjust anything before i do the top/mamianqun combo with better fabric. the red/gold fabric is from Taobao and the black fabric is a cotton from Joann's! i'm planning to do another top/mamianqun combo with a black/blue/pink/purple patterned mamianqun and a pink or blue top

the mamianqun took me approximately 8 hours (this is a conservative estimate), and the top surprisingly took much less (at most 3 hours). this is because pleats take FOREVER

as of right now, the outfit fits me really well; there are a lot of threads that I need to cut that are hanging off the top, but they're covered by the mamianqun right now :)

I'm very proud of this project, and when I wear this set I feel like a cdrama princess or female lead!
