Women in the Tang Dynasty really knew how to dress. They emphasize different styles and outfit combinations. Tops include jackets with small sleeves, shirts with wide sleeves, and a variety of skirts. The most eye-catching was the "half-sleeve" dress, the sexiest women's clothing of the time. Half-sleeves, in layman's terms, are an ancient short-sleeved shirt, also called half-sleeves. It evolved from the "half-sleeve" style of the Han and Wei dynasties and was a breakthrough in clothing at that time. Its shape is double-breasted, with sleeves that do not cover the elbows and are waist-length. If worn with a skirt, it is called a "half-sleeve skirt." Even more groundbreaking than half-sleeves is the "topless" skirt, a fashion that boldly reforms the neckline. It changes the traditional openings of round collar, square collar, oblique collar, straight collar and sweetheart collar, increases the size of the opening, and cuts it into a "topless collar".

According to the height of the skirt waist, underskirts can be divided into waist-length underskirts, high underskirts and chest-length underskirts. At the same time, according to the style of the collar, underskirts can be divided into cross-collar underskirts and straight-collar underskirts.

Women in the Tang Dynasty were so open-minded that it’s hard to imagine! The courtiers and the queen could sit on the dragon bed and play chess together, and the emperor would light cigarettes for them to entertain them. In the Tang Dynasty, gender did not constitute a constraint for women. Among them, Concubine Yang once bathed An Lushan. Take clothing as an example. Women in the past had to wrap themselves up tightly even in the hot summer, but women in the Tang Dynasty could choose the comfort level of their clothing as they pleased. The most popular skirt in the Tang Dynasty is a good example. It is thin and transparent with a low neckline. Women wear low-cut skirts that show off their beautiful collarbones, but bare shoulders look unsightly, so they symbolically wear tulle skirts to cover them up, making them more charming. In addition, the makeup of women in the Tang Dynasty was also diverse, including eyebrow makeup, sunset makeup, willow eyebrows, etc. They will find ways to look beautiful and even wear men's clothing.
