Fengguan xiapei (Chinese: 凤冠霞帔) is a type of traditional Chinese wedding set of attire categorized under Hanfu, which was worn by Han Chinese women in Ming and Qing dynasties.[1] The fengguan xiapei attire was composed an upper and lower garment following the traditional Chinese yichang clothing system. It was typically composed of a red coloured mang ao (Chinese: 蟒袄; lit. 'python jacket'), a type of a Chinese qun-skirt known as mangchu (Chinese: 蟒裙; pinyin: mǎngqún; lit. 'Python skirt'), the xiapei (Chinese: 霞帔), and the fengguan.[2] The fengguan xiapei was sometimes adorned with the yunjian.[2] Following the wedding ceremony, married women were expected to wear the fengguan xiapei on formal occasions, however, Chinese trousers or leggings were worn beneath instead of the skirt.[2]
