“In the five-phase cosmology codified during the Han dynasty, yellow corresponded to tu (earth, the central element, the colour of the loess plateau where Chinese civilisation had taken root).
From there it was only a short step to claiming the colour for whichever family currently held the Mandate of Heaven.
The Sui and Tang courts established yellow as the imperial colour in the seventh century…”

Debating going in to work on the weekend to spread out a fabric project all over the floor. I have more floor space at my office than home, and this fabric is 60 inches wide and 3 years long. I just need to place my pattern pieces so I know how to cut it. I can already tell I got at least half a yard too much, which is a blessing and a slightly expensive curse.
Context: I'm working on a costume for my partner, basically a loose long asymmetric vest. I'm following a kurta pattern, just not adding the sleeves. #Sewing #costuming #larp -
so glad I had a final fitting because I found so many more things to fix or change. But I'm already very excited with the result...but dancing will be very interesting. #18thcentury #costuming

Just watching the September video from Earth, Wind, and Fire. Can we all just appreciate for a moment the wonderfully African and Afro-inspired costuming on display in this music video? Just take some time watching that one and enjoying the absolute celebration of African culture on display, there.

Yeah, yeah, this is sad, but the embroideries on Zhu Yan's hanfu is _fantastic_! I'd like to say it's Shang* dynasty style, but it's because...
*cough*
...I'm reading up on Shang bronzes and I think they look cool. I want to Shang everything!

Sorry about the weird cut - I want to avoid spoilers. But that fabric! Those embroideries! And the clasps! *sniffles* They're glorious!
-
The fabric in the sleeve to the left would'nt survive the Laurel Handshake* since it _should_ be a brocade but isn't. However I have a hard time figuring out what it is. Thick print or fabric wide machine embroidery is my best guess. Being the barbarian I am I'd still pay a pretty penny for it!
(*An SCA thing, see toot below)

General Mutu reminds me of Sarris in Galaxy Quest - the villain who was so evil he even had spikes on his eyepatch. Mutu's armor doesn't have spikes, but the decorations extends to his eyepatch _including the strap_. Opulence and leather, this can only be a villain!
And how large was the costume budget for this drama??? Look at the details on that thing! The costume maker deserves all the awards!
-
Dang, the embroideries on Ah Shu's skirt! I swear a costume designer sold their soul to be allowed to make them! Ignore the fact that an interior designer from Star Trek Enterprise zoomed by and put some random stuff on the table in the background, _look at those embroideries!!!_
-
A strong rule when designing characters for comics & animation is to make every individual have their personal silouette; the viewer should recognise them even if they're blacked out. Not easy to copy in live action, but the costume designer is doing a good job with Ah Shu, San An, and Si An. Not only are they colour coded and have individual collar lines, the shape of their hairstyles, sleeves, and skirt length gives them those unique silouettes.
-
It's hard for me to pick a pic without spoilers at this point, but I just noticed the clever ways the main characters are given individuality despite wearing officials' uniform:
•Ji - always has his sleeves rolled up
•An Xiuyi - purple middle tunic
•Yuan Mo - no cap (that unrepentant rebel) and keeps his black moneybag in his belt
•Shen - red middle tunic (instead of black)
•Wang Kunwu - purple uniform despite belonging to the wine red crowd. -
CW: Caps (Go East toot)
OH NOOOOO! IT'S THE MAN EATING FUR COLLAR FROM...
...from...
...from *snaps fingers to remember*...
...Dang it! Have I watched so many C-dramas already?
...FROM WHAT'SITSNAME! AND IT'S LEVELLED UP TO _GOLD CLOAK_! STAY AWAAAAAAY!

Go East is pretty clever in weaving the clothes into the plot, and I love that fabric in itself is a theme through the drama. But there's not much embroideries 😢. So, while I know it's not the case, I still imagine a number of costume designers saying "Eff it!" and breaking into the embroidery machine room at night _specifically_ to decorate the top of Yuchi Hua's skirt.

On screen: *horrible murder*
Me: That pattern is gorgeous! The fabric is probably printed, but I bet it's possible to weave if...
...
...oh, yeah - _murder mystery_. I should focus on 'whodunnit'...
...
...I wonder if I can use my rigid heddle loom?(Blood in pic)
