EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Chinese heritage - the Woman's Qun from the Qing dynasty. Created between 1870 and 1890, this semi-formal domestic skirt is a true testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of its time. The Qun features an array of vibrant colors and intricate designs that immediately catch the eye. Embroidered with silk and gold leaf over lacquered paper strip wrapped cotton, it displays a stunning floral pattern adorned with delicate butterflies. The attention to detail is evident in every stitch, as laid work and couching techniques bring life to each petal and wing. Lined with silk plain weave, this garment exudes elegance while maintaining comfort for its wearer. Pleated ribbons made from silk plain weave add further embellishment, creating a visually striking ensemble. As we admire this beautiful piece of clothing, we are transported back in time to witness the rich cultural heritage of China during the Qing dynasty. It serves as a reminder of the skillful artistry passed down through generations. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this photograph captures not only an object but also tells a story about centuries-old traditions and artistic excellence found within Chinese fashion history.
