This traditional Chinese costume, known as the "Empress's Water sleeves," is a classic attire worn by women in ancient Chinese palaces.

It is renowned for its unique design and exquisite craftsmanship.

The costume consists of two parts: the top and the skirt.

The top is usually made of silk and adorned with intricate patterns such as flowers, dragons, and phoenixes.

The bottom part features long water sleeves that are wide at the cuffs, allowing for free movement.

This design is both elegant and practical, making it comfortable for women to walk or dance.

The skirt is made of multiple layers of gauze and is usually blue or white in color.

It reaches down to the ankles and is decorated with various delicate embroidery patterns.

The skirt's design aims to showcase the feminine beauty and noble temperament of women.

Apart from its aesthetic appeal and delicacy, this costume also carries profound cultural significance and historical meaning.

It is an essential component of ancient Chinese palace culture, representing the elegance and nobility of ancient Chinese women.

In traditional Chinese culture, women were regarded as important pillars of the family and society, and their status and image were often used to express an idealized version of femininity.

Therefore, this costume is not only a beautiful work of art but also a symbol and inheritance of culture.
