I believed that those fabric were cotton and were either padded or lined, similarly to how we make winter coats. In addition, several layers had to be used.
Awesome! Ironing the fabric before sewing is very important. I found sewing the collar quite complex. Did you find the sewing of the front lapel challenging?
+1 And I would add that it is important to get beginner fabric materials at the beginning if you are not familiar with sewing, and if possible purchase cheaper fabric materials. Although the cutting diagrams are very useful, there is a lot of ways to mess up the sewing process when you have 0 experience. As you get more experience, you can then move to harder fabric (e.g. the flowy-type or stretchy type).
I would also consider cotton or polyester blend. I found polyester very hard to work with if you are a beginner as it does not press well when you use an iron.
The simplicity of the Song-style is really a go-to for summer and even fall and spring if you put enough layers or thermal undergarments/ leggings, I feel that the Song-style is the easiest to blend with modern aesthetics. For winter, I would personally choose the Ming aoqun (but it also depends on how cold is winter based on your geographical location). N.B. not all aoqun looks rich, some are quite simple depending on the patterns and fabric 🙂
There are many styles and even in terms of terminology, at least in an historical perspective, it seems that there were changes about the naming of the clothing - but I don't have much expertise in that
I think that at the beginning, there was more attention to Quju which was followed by some controversies about the authenticity of its design; i.e. how to cut, the length, etc. Quju also appears to be less functional in terms of wear and movement restriction. I have also seen some examples of the sewing patterns, and my sewing experience tells me that they look much more difficult to reproduce and they would be more expensive to make considering the amount of fabric needed.

I can't wait to see the development of more daily hanfu design in the future
Really good looking 😍

Really? 😲 It must be so pretty
