In classical Chinese, Tang Hua Yin Die (棠花引蝶) means “begonia blossoms drawing in the butterflies” — and that is exactly the feeling of this Ming-style hanfu. A stand-collar long robe and a pleated horse-face skirt come layered beneath an embroidered butterfly cloud collar (yunjian), the shoulder ornament once worn for celebrations and now a favorite for photos, festivals and travel.
A Complete Ming-Style Ensemble
Every piece in this set follows Ming dynasty construction: a front-opening stand-collar robe with traditional frog buttons, wide pipa (lute) sleeves, and a full mamianqun (horse-face skirt) whose box pleats open and close as you walk. The detachable cloud collar ties at the shoulders and frames the butterfly embroidery.
- Stand-collar long robe — printed chiffon, frog-button front, pipa sleeves
- Horse-face skirt — full pleated circle with woven floral border and waist ties
- Butterfly cloud collar — embroidered shoulder piece, ties on and off
- Camisole — inner lining layer for comfort
You can order the complete four-piece set, or just the robe, the skirt, or the cloud collar on its own to mix with pieces you already own — choose in the options above.
Fabric & Craft
The robe and skirt are made of a lightweight polyester chiffon with a soft printed finish — breathable enough for spring and summer evenings, with enough body to hold the skirt’s shape. The fabric has no stretch; the waist ties and frog buttons do the fitting. Please note this is printed polyester, not silk or genuine embroidery-thread brocade — we describe materials honestly so you know exactly what is arriving.
Two Colors, One Silhouette
Pink is the classic Tang Hua Yin Die look — warm rose tones with blue-and-gold butterfly accents. Green is the cooler, jade-toned version, photographed most in our gallery. Both share the same cut and embroidery layout.
The Horse-Face Skirt in Motion
The mamianqun is the piece people remember. Its alternating flat panels and knife pleats fan out into a full circle when you turn — the “horse-face” doors at front and back catch the light differently from the pleated sides.
Fit & Size Guide
Hanfu is cut generously. Choose mainly by height and weight; the bust range is a secondary check.
| Size | Height | Bust | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 152–160 cm (5′0″–5′3″) | up to 88 cm (34.6″) | ≈ 45 kg (99 lb) |
| M | 158–166 cm (5′2″–5′5″) | 85–95 cm (33.5–37.4″) | ≈ 55 kg (121 lb) |
| L | 166–170 cm (5′5″–5′7″) | 90–100 cm (35.4–39.4″) | ≈ 65 kg (143 lb) |
| XL | 168–175 cm (5′6″–5′9″) | 98–108 cm (38.6–42.5″) | ≈ 70 kg (154 lb) |
Measurements are taken flat by hand, so allow 1–2 cm of variance. Between two sizes, size up for a drape closer to the photos.
Care
Hand wash cold separately before first wear (a 10-minute salt-water soak helps set the print), hang to dry in shade, and iron on low heat only if needed. Do not bleach.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and lighting. As with all layered hanfu, the exact drape depends on your height and how you tie the skirt.
