💡About Pipa Jin Waistcoat
 
 Pipa jin (front part of a garment) refers to the right lapel of a front garment lacking a piece on the lower hem. Normally the front is slightly narrower than the right lapel. Jin’s edge is visible from the front side, and the left lapel is extended. The waistcoat has a stand-up collar with a collar support and you can choose remove it in summer. There are four button knots, and the opening is right in the middle. The common decorations mainly include big wide multiple-layer embroidered edges.  This waistcoat was used to be popular since Xianfeng and Tongzhi Period in Qing Dynasty. As recorded in Xunsu Tiao written by Jiangsu Government Office at that time, “embroidering edges of costumes can be quite expensive; there are various edge designs like white-flag edge, golden and white rail design, peony ribbon, gold-wrapped threading, etc. The price of a garment is supposed to be fixed; however, if its edges are embroidered, the price will double. Moreover, the embroidered edges can account for up to 40% of the price, while only the rest 60% is for the clothing itself.” 
 
琵琶襟是在右衽大襟的下摆处短缺一角，大襟比一般右衽稍窄。正面可见襟边，左衽延长。通常坎肩立领，带领托，夏季时可去除立领穿着。通常其主要装饰全凭大镶边完成，镶边常分为三层，中间一层为主体，绣以花卉龙凤等图案，华丽精美。里面一层是细花边；最外面一层是包边。三层镶边共同完成了坎肩的全部装饰（此为通常的做法，也可更多层花边或没有花边）。它的款式是清代咸丰、同治以近的流行时尚。当时江苏官署的《训俗条》中曾有这样的记载：“而镶滚之费更甚，有所谓白旗边、金白鬼子栏杆、牡丹带、盘金间绣等名色。一衫一裙，本身紬价有定；镶滚之外，不啻加倍，且衣身居十之六，镶条居十之四，一衣仅有六分绫绸。”琵琶襟坎肩，正是这种时尚的实物证明。
