Republic of China (1912-1949 AD)
Museum of Ethnic Costumes, Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology
Beijing, China
On the morning of the second day, I took a photo for the wife and daughter of the village head Yang Qingyun. Mrs. Yang put on a gorgeous dress of the Manchu style, with a colorful satin cape and a coronet made of coral beads. After adding a waist belt with Rong-style embroidery, a necklace with a box-shaped pendant made of jade and gold and nine rings set with coral beads, she applied powder onto her face. She looked brilliant. Their daughter wore a cheongsam with embroidered floral patterns.
