💡ITEM DETAIL

⭐️Introduction:
A型马面裙，为明朝时典型的汉服着装，在穿着中经常搭配夹袄，上襦; 此款特点为裙型为A型，裥褶为梯形褶。
The horse-face skirt, or Ma-Mian-Qun  in Chinese, holds a unique status among fans of traditional Chinese clothing. In hanfu (汉服) or traditional Han Chinese dress, there is a skirt with two pleated sides and a flat front (and rear) panel known as Ma-Mian-Qun (马面裙) or horse-face skirt. Worn since the Song dynasty (宋朝, 10th century) through the Qing dynasty (清朝, 1644—1911), even the Republic era, the skirt is characterised by side panels that are pleated, and the front and back that are not. This one is with A silhouette, and the pleat is trapezoidal.
🏮FABRIC SUGGESTION: 
The **horse face skirt** (马面裙, mǎ miàn qún) is a traditional Chinese skirt that originated during the Ming Dynasty. It is characterized by its unique pleated design and the "horse face" fold at the front and back. The fabric used to sew a horse face skirt is typically **high-quality, durable, and smooth** to ensure the pleats hold their shape and the skirt drapes elegantly. Common fabrics include:
1. **Silk (绸缎, chóu duàn)**  
   - Silk is the most traditional and luxurious choice for a horse face skirt. It is smooth, lightweight, and has a natural sheen, making it ideal for formal or ceremonial wear.  
   - Types of silk used: **Brocade satin (织锦缎, zhī jǐn duàn)**, **tribute satin (贡缎, gòng duàn)**, or **plain satin (素缎, sù duàn)**.
2. **Cotton (棉布, mián bù)**  
   - Cotton is a more casual and practical option, especially for everyday wear. It is breathable and comfortable but may not hold pleats as well as silk.
3. **Polyester or Synthetic Blends (聚酯纤维, jù zhǐ xiān wéi)**  
   - Modern versions of the horse face skirt may use polyester or polyester blends. These fabrics are more affordable, wrinkle-resistant, and easier to maintain.
4. **Linen (亚麻布, yà má bù)**  
   - Linen is another option for a more rustic or natural look, though it is less common for traditional horse face skirts.
### Key Considerations:
- **Weight and Drape**: The fabric should be medium-weight to hold the pleats while allowing the skirt to flow gracefully.  
- **Stiffness**: A slightly stiff fabric helps maintain the structure of the "horse face" folds.  
- **Historical Accuracy**: For a historically accurate horse face skirt, silk is the most appropriate choice.
If you're making or purchasing a horse face skirt, silk brocade or satin is highly recommended for its authenticity and elegance!
