Mi Qiu Jun: Ten years ago, when I first started wearing Hanfu, I indeed received many disapproving glances. Especially when wearing Hanfu abroad, many foreign friends would look at me with strange eyes. I think the most important thing is confidence. Believe that you will look beautiful in Hanfu, and this is very important. Of course, you should also learn simple makeup and hairstyle production methods. For girls who are just starting to wear Hanfu, I have a small suggestion: invite your girlfriends to wear it together, take photos for each other, and encourage each other, which will make you more confident and calm.

Style Analysis: The handmade hair clips in the picture appear to be two different styles, but in fact, the production methods for both sets of clips are the same. These two clips not only use the same materials and colors but also follow the same production method, with only a slight variation in one step leading to the significant difference in the final products. One is a chiffon half-sphere clip, and the other is a double-layer pleated flower clip. Isn't that amazing? Let's see how it's done. Production Method: Cut a 5 cm wide chiffon ribbon to 70 cm, treat the edges, and fold it as shown in the picture below. As shown in the figure, sew along the folded edge with a needle, folding and sewing as you go. There are no specific requirements for the stitches; just finish sewing. This step mainly serves a fixing function and will eventually need to be undone, mainly to facilitate the subsequent pleating work. Note that if you want to make a pleated flower ball style, try to fold the two ribbons so that they overlap as much as possible, leaving a narrower outer edge.
However, in the Han Dynasty, everyday wear was in the style of deep clothing. Specifically, it was divided into curved hem (quju) and straight hem (ziju). Ziju can be simply understood as a “straight robe,” where the edges of the garment hang vertically after being worn. Quju is very special, as its production method requires “continuing the hem,” which means adding a piece of fabric at the end of the hem. When spread out, it forms a long, triangular “tail” of the garment, which wraps around the body several times, creating the effect of a swirling pattern around the lower body. When I first learned about Hanfu, I was amazed by this style of clothing.
