Do you have any book recommendations about the history of / making of hanfu? Any periods and styles are fine - I just love them and want to learn more! I can read French and English. Thank you so much ^^

Hi, thanks for the question!

While I’m not familiar with French, here are some recommendations for English-language books on the history of / making of hanfu (click for links):

1) Chinese Clothing by Hua Mei - One of the most accessible English-language books on hanfu and Chinese clothing in general; informative and concise. Available to read online.

2) 5,000 years of Chinese Costume - According to nannaia, the book is “an invaluable resource in English (though sadly currently out of print), I would highly recommend this book if you can get your hands on it.”

3) Ancient Hanfu - A gorgeous and comprehensive historical overview of hanfu with many visual references. Available to read online.

4) Chinese Clothing: Costumes, Adornments and Culture
