Shanwai Xiaolou New Chinese Style Mamian Skirt & Hanfu Collection

Embrace the elegance of tradition redefined for the modern era. The Shanwai Xiaolou collection features a stunning array of "New Chinese Style" apparel, centered around the iconic Mamian (Horse-Face) skirt. This collection blends historical silhouettes with contemporary textiles, offering a sophisticated aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from cultural events to everyday chic. Whether you are looking for the intricate shimmer of woven brocade or the effortless grace of printed patterns, these pieces provide a unique gateway into the world of Han-inspired fashion.

Key Benefits

Exquisite Textile Artistry:** Choose between vibrant printed designs or high-end woven fabrics. The woven options utilize traditional-style techniques, including "Zhi Jin" (woven gold), "Zhi Yin" (woven silver), and imitation "Zhuang Hua" (cloud brocade) to create rich, textured patterns that catch the light.

Versatile Silhouette Options:** This collection offers a variety of lengths and styles to suit different heights and preferences, ranging from the classic floor-length Mamian skirt to contemporary mid-length and short-skirt variations.

Breathable Seasonal Fabrics:** Most pieces are designed for year-round wear in Spring and Autumn. For warmer climates, specialized lightweight versions are available to ensure comfort without sacrificing the structured look of the skirt.

Authentic Neo-Oriental Aesthetic:** Each piece captures the "Guofeng" (National Style) essence, using traditional motifs like the "Liyue" (Carp Leap) and "Xiaoxiang Zhu" (Spotted Bamboo) to tell a visual story through your wardrobe.

Key Specs

Material:** 100% Polyester for durability and pleat retention.

Standard Skirt Length:** Most Mamian skirts measure between 97 cm and 103 cm.

Mid-Length "Guanqi" Model:** Features a shorter length of 84–90 cm.

Shirt Sizing:** Small (Bust ≤ 84 cm, Shoulder ≤ 37 cm); Medium (Bust ≤ 89 cm, Shoulder ≤ 38 cm).

Construction:** Traditional wrap-around Mamian style (except for the "Fulong Yingchun" model, which features a modern zipper closure).

How to Use

Sizing Adjustment:** When selecting a Mamian skirt, note that the waist measurement provided is the flat, unfolded length of the fabric. To find your ideal fit, subtract approximately 30 cm from the flat measurement (or more if you prefer a larger overlap at the back).

Styling:** These skirts are sold individually. Pair them with a traditional cross-collar top or a modern fitted turtleneck. For the "Mingyue Songjian" outerwear, consider sizing up if you intend to use the toggle buttons for a closed-chest look.

Layering:** For "Thin" or summer-weight versions, it is highly recommended to wear a slip or petticoat underneath to ensure opacity and maintain the skirt's volume.

Care & Safety

Cleaning:** Professional dry cleaning is recommended. For home care, hand wash in cold water only.

Detergent Warnings:** Strictly avoid alkaline detergents, including bar soaps and standard laundry powders, as these can degrade the polyester fibers and metallic weaving. Use a pH-neutral silk/delicate wash.

Color Maintenance:** Wash white garments separately from colored pieces. Do not soak for extended periods; "wash and remove immediately" to prevent color transfer.
