Xiuhe clothing is an improved design of clothing, based on the jacket and skirt worn by women in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. The top is a standing collar or round collar, and the bottom is a horse face skirt. The skirt is loose and can be used to make beds, which is deeply loved by the public.
The Meaning of Xiuhe Clothing

What are the requirements for Xiuhe clothing
1. Makeup should not be light
The colors of Xiuhe clothing are generally bright, such as bright red, gold, blue, etc., and are accompanied by complex patterns. Therefore, if you wear Xiuhe clothing with light makeup, it may make the makeup look lifeless, and when taking photos with heavy makeup, it will make your complexion look better.
2. Avoid having pockets
Xiuhe clothing has pockets, which represent the financial luck of the bride's family. Therefore, when choosing Xiuhe clothing, the bride cannot choose one with pockets.
3. Do not embroider flowers
Because raw flowers are prone to withering, except for some flowers with auspicious meanings, flowers are generally not embroidered. The most common flowers on Xiuhe clothing are peonies and pomegranate flowers.
