Chinese Fashions Coloring Book

by Ming-Ju Sun

Over 1,000 years of Chinese fashions for men and women are featured in this exquisitely rendered coloring book — from a strapless, high-waisted dress with a transparent outer robe worn during the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618–907) to an elegant, knee-length sheath trimmed with floral applique (late Republic period).
Also included are ready-to-color images of a Tang Dynasty official wearing a flowing robe and a hat denoting his rank as a civil servant; military men of the Song Dynasty (960–1279) attired in boots, tunics, and trousers and sporting sheathed swords; two actors from the Yuan Dynasty (1279–1368) in lavishly embroidered robes; a musician of the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644); a street vendor of the Ming Dynasty in a simple belted robe and trousers; young housemaids of the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911), wearing loose robes belted at the waist with colorful ties; a high official and his wife in elaborately embroidered robes and skirts of the Qing Dynasty; and two young women of the Republic period wearing delicately embroidered ankle-length skirts and loose-sleeved tops.
Captions describe each garment in a collection that will delight coloring book fans and enthusiasts of East Asian cultures.

امتیاز: ۲.۵
از حدود ۴۰۰۰ سال تاریخ چین حدود ۱۵۰۰ سال رو نمونه آورده بود اما خیلی پراکنده، مثلا یه دوره‌ای موزیسین، یه دوره‌ای همسر وزیر، یه دوره‌ای کارگر و...
من ترجیح میدادم لباس‌های تمام طبقه‌‌های اجتماع رو توی هر دوره بیاره، ولی همین هم برای شروع بد نبود.
اگر طراحی لباس و فشن چین براتون جالبه پیشنهاد میدم به طرح‌هاش یه نگاهی بندازید ولی متون و توضیحاتش خیلی پیش‌پاافتاده بود.

I'm making ancient Silk Road Trader's costumes and this is a good resource for me.

again another picture book but this time with captions! loved the ming, qing, and song dynasty fashion trends. Also the double buns were a look and let's most definitely bring it back.
