Throughout Chinese history, whenever a dynasty changes, there are inevitable transformations in clothing. From the 1911 Xinhai Revolution to 1935, China underwent significant changes over two decades. The political and societal upheavals during this period had a profound impact on women's clothing, turning it into a captivating drama filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and hope.
