Martha CrimsonI love her woodworking dress! Unusually sensible for a xianxia, yet stylish. And I'm glad she's a fan of working in affordable materials - that plank to the left is definitely pine.<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/AMomentButForever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AMomentButForever</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Xianxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xianxia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a>

Martha CrimsonAh! Complain about embroideries and they shall appear! You have to take my word for it though, since they're so small and in the same colour as the fabric, that my camera hardly register them.(Eye contact in pic)<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/AMomentButForever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AMomentButForever</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Xianxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xianxia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a>

Martha CrimsonIt may be a small thing, but this is the Goddess of Embroidery, and - save for small detailing at the edge of her shoulders - her clothes are not embroidered. Such a lost opportunity! I get that production go for a unified look for each realm, but a tiny lotus would not have been out of place!<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/AMomentButForever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AMomentButForever</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CharacterDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CharacterDesign</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Xianxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xianxia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a>

Martha CrimsonI can see why AvenueX called this an ugly drama, there's a hint of cheap manufacturing to sets and props. His breastplate, for example, is crude. But it's not cheap as in 'lets slap something sellable together', rather as 'we're stretching our budget to do what we love' cheap. And sometimes production allow themselves indulgences; that detailing on the chest part of his coat is _not_ cheap to make - and looks awesome.(Eye contact, blood in pic)<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/AMomentButForever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AMomentButForever</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Xianxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xianxia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a>

Martha CrimsonI admit it; I'm taking a closer look on this drama because of her dress. It's an awesome example of hanfu timeperiod wuxia! One detail that seems to be a must for this era is a braided rags detail somewhere. On men it's usually a head band, here it sits around her wrist like a bracelet.<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/WanrusJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WanrusJourney</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/wuxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wuxia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a>

Martha CrimsonUtterly wild jackets and cardigans seem to be high (expensive) fashion for men in China rn. So Wang Ye's jacket isn't a thrift store find* - it marks him as jet setter.(*To people of my age it would be, but before any of my peers feel superior; our generation bought jeans with ready-made holes.)<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/IAmNobody" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IAmNobody</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/UrbanFantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanFantasy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/UrbanXianxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanXianxia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a>

Martha Crimson*takes a deeeeeeep breath* *envisions a field full of dandelions* *exhaaaaaaaales*This series have a recurring theme of the main (male) character being brutally manhandled by women. I'm trying to not make a joke about it, but it's getting harder and harder.Also; this character is chained to wealth, so that necklace is there for a reason.<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/IAmNobody" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IAmNobody</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/UrbanXianxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanXianxia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Xianxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xianxia</a>

Martha CrimsonI was about to say chainmail, but then I remembered that you can get the same effect using bamboo slats and silk, and since this is the Forbidden City.........AnY_way_ - I need to memorize this guy's name, he's definitely the voice of reason in the story!<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/TheApothecaryDiaries2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheApothecaryDiaries2</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/TheApothecaryDiaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheApothecaryDiaries</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/anime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anime</a>

Martha CrimsonNow _that_ is a guan! The designer is stretching the limits here - the piece is jiggling dangeroisly when Not-Ye Baiyi is moving. But I guess they took the risk because it's such a perfect illustration of the character's high flying thoughts about himself. Of _course_ he'll miracuosly succeed this time.<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MysteriousLotusCasebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MysteriousLotusCasebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/wuxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wuxia</a>

Martha CrimsonThe supreme robe of Nanyin live up to its name! The costume designer has taken the chance to go truly bonkers! In a good way, that is. Purple gold brocade? Yes. Gold embroideries? Yes. A belt that rules a small nation? Yes. Gold embroideries on the gold embroideries? Yes, yes, and yes.And, hehe, it looks like I hit pause at just the right moment.(Eye contact in pic)<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MysteriousLotusCasebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MysteriousLotusCasebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/wuxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wuxia</a>

Martha CrimsonI wonder if they had to do a very late change of actors for Zhan's (the man's) role. His clothes look like they're made for a bulkier person, not like it's a planned lose-fit. For some reason this is also where the clothes department ran out of money. Master He's sister to the left wears sturdy fabric with structure, Zhan wears flimsy cotton with prints. The designer still managed to make something impressive.

ArtemisSitting around in vambraces today because I need to get some wear in them It's really funny wearing just this bit of armor and doing normal day stuff in normal day clothes. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#costuming</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LOTR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LOTR</a>

Martha CrimsonSomeone borrowed some straw pleats from Word of Honor, I see! I don't know who, because MyDramaList did not list the costume designer, but whoever it is they deserves a price! The costumes of MLC are definitely in my top favourites (together with Word of Honor and White Cat Legend)!<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MysteriousLotusCasebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MysteriousLotusCasebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/wuxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wuxia</a>

Martha CrimsonOne of those rare moments when we can see that people wear pants under their coats. Wuxia is not a perfect source for historical clothing by any stretch, but afaik the pants are not a modern addition for convenience. People did wear them. If you've ever experienced chafing a hot summer day you'll probably agree it's a good idea.<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MysteriousLotusCasebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MysteriousLotusCasebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/wuxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wuxia</a>

Martha CrimsonDetective or not, Fang Doubing is being mothered in broad daylight!Also, that hairdo is really something! You can see babyhair at her neck, meaning it's her own hair plus a massive amount of false dito woven together. They have basically taken an assembled hairdo and clipped it to her head. Some of the decorations are hiding the connection points. Props to the actress for carrying that weight while acting!<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MysteriousLotusCasebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MysteriousLotusCasebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/wuxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wuxia</a>

Martha CrimsonThe reason I comment so much on costuming is I'm impressed of the variation the costumers manage to cram out of fairly simple clothes. Here three out of four people dressed in blue, but using different values they can still get a distinct difference between them. There's even a difference in how well pressed the fabrics are.And, as usual, Li Lianhua's comfy bathrobe game is Strong.<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MysteriousLotusCasebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MysteriousLotusCasebook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Costuming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Costuming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CDrama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDrama</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/wuxia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wuxia</a>
