Tang Noblewoman's Dress 唐制•齐胸衫裙

Costume: 不透明少女

A Tang lady in Qí xiōng shān qún 齐胸衫裙, or chest-length gown and skirt. This style of dress became fashionable during the lead up to the Tang dynasty. Although dresses that are held by the waist have been worn since the Han dynasty, by the Tang dynasty the prevalent fastening of the dress drifted upward to around the chest. This style of dress was worn well throughout the Tang and the subsequent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

I dont know if this is off topic but i was always fascinated by the similarities the choseon hanbok has to these types of dresses. I was wondering if you knew any of the history behind how the hanbok's style came to be cuz usually when you think of choseon era garments they are usually very similar to the contemporaneous ming dynasty, with the exception of this.

There's some speculation with Chinese netizens that modern hanbok is a living fossil of old Tang dynasty dresses. Although I am not familiar in this area. Another reason is that there's often petty controversies around either Hanfu and traditional Korean fashion as they argued over who culturally appropriated who. But I tend to stay away from these conversations. It's extremely reductive.

Honestly culture's often quite fluid and ancient times people adopted what worked well so I see little point in being a harsh stickler about those. With this said, I will still say that it is likely that modern Hanbok is a continuation of Tang era dresses.
