Vietwardian look 3/? — this one is inspired by the Artistic Dress and Pre-Raphaelite movements, but mostly it’s an áo ngũ thân or ‘five-paneled robe’ with a smocked waist and fitted wrists. The red hairband and undershirt are taken directly from traditional Vietnamese styles (though from a mix of regions), while the shoes are a cross between two different syles of Vietnamese hài, with a more Edwardian profile.

#my art #vietwardian lookbook #illustration #yes all the layers are slightly sheer lol #the unbuttoned collar is a common but informal manner of wearing the robe #and the layering of contrasting colors of sheer silks is also taken from historical styles #though they would have been sewn together along every edge and not just the neckline and sides #the black underskirt (or they could be wide-legged trousers) is also vietnamese lol #please imagine that the buttons are gold and the wave patterns on the sleeves are also embroidered in gold #also possibly some gold piping on the edges and collar
