I needed a cultural outfit for an event, but wanted something more unique than a qipao. I settled on hanfu but was a little wary cause it’s easy to look like you’re cosplaying which I did not want. After looking around online, I decided on this outfit which seemed more modern and less ancient-China-kung-fu-movie feel (a la Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon). I wasn’t sure what to expect since I knew it was coming from China, and wasn’t sure if it’d be one of those scammy products that look/feel nothing like website. After receiving the product, I can say that I am impressed with the quality of the product. The skirt material is relatively thick and has some weight to it. It looks exactly like the website photos and video. The long black blouse has a silky feel. I like that the blouse can be worn inside or outside the skirt, which they show in the video on the website.
Sizing seems accurate. I made sure to check my measurements against their size chart. I’m a very average Asian size in the USA, 5’4”, 135 lbs. The large size fits just fine, loose where it should be. The skirt is just a tad long but I’ll just tie the waist up higher.
They are very open about it taking a few weeks to arrive after ordering, and the estimated arrival was pretty accurate. And as noted on their website, I did have to pay tariffs to DHL shipping company which was a little bit of a gamble since US tariff wars are in full effect right now. I ended up paying about $25 though I’m sure that will keep changing with the political tug-of-war.
Could I have purchased this for cheaper from China? Probably. Alas, I’m not in China, so I’m decently happy with the product I paid for.
I will definitely look to buy more from this company in the future!
