In Qin and Han Dynasty, women
usually wore loose clothes with long large sleeves. Under the long skirt was a
pair of high-heeled clogs with some embroidery on them.
There was usually a
scarf called Jinguo wrapped on the arm of a noble woman while ordinary or poor
women had no decoration on their arms. As time passed by, the coat tended to be
shorter and the skirt became longer.
Noble women even needed maids’ help to
lift up the skirts to avoid the skirts being stained by the ground. In Wei and
Jin Dynasty, clothes of the Han were greatly influenced by the Hu.
Advantages of
Hu's clothes were absorbed in the Han’s. Women usually wore waist-length coats
and full-length skirts, and wrapped belts on their waists.
