Shan Ping 扇屏 Folding Screen Ming Dynasty Mamian Skirt

Intricate panels of white camellias within golden frames, become a walking work of art with the Shan Ping 扇屏 Folding Screen Mamian Skirt! 

Mamian Qun 马面裙 (horse faced skirt) originates from the Ming Dynasty and was commonly worn by women of all classes. 

The "horse faced skirt" gets its name from its construction, similar to old war forts that were also called Mamian 马面 (horse face). The name stuck around due to its ease to wear while horseback riding.

The construction of the mamian qun 马面裙 contains 2 large front and back panels showcasing the art on the skirt, and many trapezoidal pleats on the sides. This creates a very flattering A-line silhouette without needing any petticoat.

Stunning golden threads run throughout the skirt, adding a touch of luxury to any ensemble. Features a wide Lan 襕 (decorative border) making this skirt an instant statement piece. Imprints of more flowers and fans are contained within the base fabric - from top to bottom the skirt blooms with lustrous shine! 

Available in a rainbow of traditional colors, each colorway allows the detailed brocade shine in a unique way.

Extremely versatile skirts that perfectly elevate any modern day look. Simply add your favorite Ming top or modern sweater and see how instantly regal you become!🤴 

 

This item has a 14 day construction period. 

Material: 100% polyester double-layered brocade
