(Don\u2019t mind the pic. We took our color schemes from ponies, because of reasons.)<\/p>\n

Benn, C. (2010). China\u2019s golden age: everyday life in the Tang dynasty. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2004.
[Link<\/a>]This was a great all-over source for me, especially since I didn\u2019t want to just\u00a0\u201cdo the outfits.\u201d I would consider this a must-have for Tang Dynasty research.<\/p>\n

Bonds, A. B. (2008). Beijing opera costumes: The visual communication of character and culture. Honolulu: University of Hawaii.
[Link<\/a>]This was interesting, but not super helpful for Tang. The appendix with garment diagrams, especially the pleating, was the only thing I used this for. It may be useful for other time periods, with the caveat that this is a modern stage interpretation of historic garments.<\/p>\n

H. C. [user25056]. (2014, May 3.) How to wear a traditional Chinese garment called \u2018Quixiong Ruqun\u2019[Video file]. Retrieved from https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fGSylLPJ42o<\/a>
I\u2019m not sure if I would have figured out how the skirt works if I hadn\u2019t seen this video.<\/p>\n

Johns, J. (4 June 2011). China\u2019s disappearing clothing. We Drive East. \u00a0Retrieved from:\u00a0https:\/\/wedriveeast.wordpress.com\/2011\/06\/04\/chinas-disappearing-clothing\/<\/a>
This blog of a Fullbright scholar is centered on the history of Chinese breast-binding, but as I can\u2019t read Chinese, her summaries of Chinese sources describing the evolution of undergarment was invaluable.<\/p>\n

More interesting information about the Hezi – take with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n

Overview of Tang Dynasty clothing. Not many sources cited.<\/p>\n

Mei, H. (2011). Chinese clothing. New York: Cambridge University Press.
[Link<\/a>]This is a pretty slim volume, and she takes a lot from 5000 Years<\/i>. Still, the information is good, if brief.<\/p>\n

Ministry of Culture, People\u2019s Republic of China. (2003).Secrets of Women\u2019s Underwear in Ancient China. ChinaCulture.org. Retrieved from http:\/\/www.chinaculture.org\/gb\/en_artqa\/2006-08\/04\/content_84371_4.htm<\/a>
I\u2019m not sure what to think of these little articles – you get no sense of real authorship. Still, the information is in line with what I found elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Overview of linen vs. ramie.<\/p>\n

Shaorong, Y. (2004). Traditional Chinese clothing: Costumes, adornments and culture. San Francisco: Long River Press.
[Link]<\/a>
This is even slimmer than Mei\u2019s book, but it goes garment by garment, so it\u2019s helpful regardless of time period.<\/p>\n

Vainker, S. (2004). Chinese silk: A cultural history. Newark, NJ: Rutgers University Press.
[Link<\/a>]This was an invaluable source for me when it came to materials – it has lots of amazing photos of extant fabrics, and some great discussion about what weaves, colors, and techniques were used.<\/p>\n

Zhou, X. & Gao, C. (1987). 5000 Years of Chinese costume. Tsui-Yee Tang (Ed.) Hong Kong: China Books and Periodicals.
[Link<\/a>]If I could only own one book of this list, 5000 Years<\/i>\u00a0would be it. It\u2019s huge, it\u2019s got lots of great reproduction diagrams of outfits along with period illustrations, and it covers pretty much everything. I focused on Tang, but it has sections for each time period. It can be spendy, but I had success with\u00a0interlibrary-loan.<\/p>\n
