Let your color combinations run wild, the Taozi Guodong 桃子果冻 Peach Jelly Beizi Top & Poqun Skirt Set is simple enough for daily wear, without losing any historical fashion features. 

The top, called Tang Beizi 唐背子 (short jacket), was a favorite layering piece for Chinese women of the 7th-9th century. The rounded V-neck collar is known as Chuiling 垂领, or "hanging collar" with a slight cross-collar front panel design. Closed by small glass buttons.

Exposing more of the neck and collarbone was a popular trend during the period, and helps elongate the neck! Long necks were a desired feature, often paired with tall hairdos for a more extreme effect.

Available in fresh, cute, and modern prints - these tops can pair perfectly with any bottom. Easily layers over other long sleeve shirts as well.

Eight-paneled Poqun 破裙, literally translated as "broken skirts", are shortened to a midi length for better daily wear. These flared skirts are made of many large panels of fabric, sewn together to create one whole skirt (hence the name). 

Choose from a lined or unlined version, skirts available in various neutral colors!
