Tang Suit Making Class HA-TS-10

Tang suit, also known as Hanfu or short jacket, is a traditional Chinese garment from the Qing Dynasty to the present day. It evolved from the Ming Dynasty's double-breasted jacket and armor, as well as the Qing Dynasty's mandarin jacket; it also marks a transition from ancient costumes to modern fashion. The design of Tang suit features a round collar and traditional flat tailoring, expressing the Chinese cultural concept of a round heaven and a square earth. Since the 1950s, Tang suits have incorporated features of Western tailoring, transforming from the previous wide robes and sleeves into modern, fashionable, and lightweight styles. The design and cut of Tang suits are very versatile; the same style can be worn by men, women, young and old. This course, through instructor demonstrations and detailed explanations, allows students to create a Tang suit that embodies Chinese culture and fashion.
