Fenghua 风华 Pipa Sleeve Ming Dynasty Ao

Combine Ming Dynasty patterned brocade with Ming Dynasty silhouettes, and get a one of a kind Liling Ao 立领袄 (standing collar shirt)!

While not typically used for Ao 袄, the twining flower pattern is a well-known symbol of the Ming Dynasty. The intricate details and distinct colors of the tangled branch flowers are a beautiful display of Ming aesthetics.

Each flower has a different color - rich, but not obtrusive. The garment itself maintains a subtle yet vibrant golden-green tone.
