I love this shirt, it pairs well with the mamianqun that I bought! The embroidery is stunning! The bright red fabric makes the white embroidered butterflies stand out so much it looks like they're glowing ✨️

This is the perfect addition to your outfit to add just another layer of elegance. It also helps when it's hot out, you don't have to wear full bloomers, just these (and some sort of underwear of course) and you're set!

Fatima L.Verified

I am really impressed with the quality of the shoes. They are also really comfortable. My normal size is 38, so I ordered 39 in accordance with the size chart, but now there is a slight gap in the back. However, they included cushionpads for the heel part and I stuck them on and now they fit perfectly. At the Austrian border I had to pay 25€ tax fees, but given the quality of the shoes it was totally worth it for me personally and I would order again. Looking forward to more vintage shoes 👀

Fatima L.Verified

The quality is really good and I am also very happy with the toe width of the shoes. I am size 38 and bought 39 according to the size chart and they fit but are a bit lose, however they included a cushionsticker for the back and with that they fit me perfectly. I did have to pay 25€ tax fees, however for me personally it was still absolutely worth it bcs of the shoes' quality and vintage design.

Quality of the fabric was really nice, and it is lined and not see thru (you will still need to wear skin coloured undies to avoid any showing). The overall fit was just nice for me with some extra room.

This set was so high quality! I wore it to a mid-autumn festival event, and then when my friends wanted to go to Chinatown to buy mooncakes, I bravely (for me) wore it around town. I felt so comfortable the whole time and got a ton of compliments. It's so wearable, I am so glad that I got it!

Beautiful and fits wonderfully. I will say that when I first put it on, one of the plastic loops in the back immediately broke. I was able to fix it with super glue, but please mind it! They're delicate.

Heavier and of better quality than I expected. Super cute and comfortable too! It looks so good and fits well around waist or hips, whichever your preference! I love it to bits. Haha I’m also cool toned and the khaki looks just fine on me so if anyone was concerned about colours there’s your answer.

Emili Y.Verified

Loved this qipao so much! It reminds me of my great grandmothers' qipao that she wore in her pictures. The dress is slippery and smooth, so if you have texture issues and don't like that texture then this dress is not for you. It is on the thinner side and is (what I find to be) perfect as a spring or fall dress so you can layer it (maybe with the matching vest? 👀). You may need help getting the buttons done because the button holes can be tight! They will loosen over time, though. In the pictur...

Anna L.Verified

This is a lovely jacket! And the embroidery is ever so gorgeous~💖 The fabric is felted, so it's dense and warm!! The collar and cuffs are lined with faux fur (corresponds to the embroidery locations), with the rest of the garment being quilted, not just lined with a lining fabric. The garment ties also have a subtle jacquard weave; hopefully this is visible in the attached photo collage. Though as the collar ties more or less in the middle, I could've sized down by a lot -- according to the siz...

(I caved and also bought the jacket, so now I have the complete set I guess 😅) Love it! Fits well; fabric has a nice texture and weight to it, etc. Excellent quality! The jacket here is just worn with a moxiong underneath, with no inner ru, so you can sort of see just how long the sleeves are in relation to arm position, etc. Tinglan Song makes such nice garments, I'm definitely going to have to wear this set and its pieces often!

Beautiful skirt. This is size M on height: 5'2", weight 115lbs. The elastic is a little tighter than expected (I like to wear my skirts lower on my hips) so I wear this one higher upon my waist.

Skirt is absolutely gorgeous and I love it a lot! Lovely weight and feels like a real garment and not say, costume-y or cosplay-y (that would be the natural fibres/fabrics!) The pale waistband put me off a bit when looking at the product photos, but in-person, it's a lot less bright/saturated and is fairly neutral and just adds a bit of visual interest (as opposed to dominating), which suits my taste 100%. I have no complaints; Tinglan Song is fast shaping up to be my favourite hanfu brand, I ...

I LOVE THIS SKIRT! It's very heavy and thick, the quality is amazing, the stitching is perfect and the pleats are immaculate. They're perfectly straight!! My camera couldn't capture the color, the turquoise is closer to the color where the skirt is on the bed. It is not that blue in person like it looks in the picture where I'm wearing it. I love it soooo much!

I wrote a review for the dress, but I had to write a separate review for the vest! The vest is very comfortable and is of good quality. The inside has a lining, which I found to be comfortable against my skin. The detail in the fabric is also very beautiful and subtle. The embroidery is also very well done, and matches so well with the qipao. I am a bit bustier but this vest fit very comfortably and there is no digging or stretching of the fabric when I put it on :) some extra wiggle room so I c...

I was nervous ordering from here at first, but I really loved the designs, so I gave it a shot. The measurements were really helpful, too! Took a bit to arrive, but, like, holy cow. The seams are so clean, everything is immaculate and has a wonderful heft to it. This is now the most well-made piece of clothing I have or have ever had, and I truly look forward to exploring what other heirloom-quality clothing is available at Nüwa

Anna L.Verified

So as it turns out, the trouser length is likely *inseam* length and not the garment length (which is what I thought it meant). I ordered an L, to accommodate my hips (102cm), and so I thought 85cm length would be fine. It was not fine as it turned out to be far too long, and I will need it to be hemmed. For reference, I am 162cm tall or so, and in these photos, I've pulled up the trousers as far up as they can go -- up to my lower ribcage, and not sitting at my waist, btw. The fabric is nice, ...

Cynthia V.Verified

Regarding quality: Super well formed and it drapes so nicely. I am glad to have it because if I leave it unbuttoned and wear it over a long sleeve turtle neck it's a nice statement piece. Regarding size: I got this in a size small because I am 5ft2 and am a bcup so I thought it'd be fine. But I am about 160-165 lbs and that was a problem. I am pointing out where it fits a little tight but it's not beyond closing so an M for me would have been perfect.

Wowowow! Love this set! The skirt and shirt are so well made and beautiful. I’m 5’2”, 140lbs. Size M fits perfect though I had the pipa sleeves shorted at a tailor just to have less fabric pooling around my arms when out & about. I sent an email asking about sleeve length & Chuyan responded quickly with helpful information. With that info in mind, I made sure the tailored sleeves were still long enough to cover my hands since that’s how they should be. Can’t wait to wear this more & play around...

I bought the full set, as shown in one pic. Overall the quality was good and I'm happy with my purchase. I love that the skirt has subtle patterns. The jacket is not lined on the inside, so when it blows around you can see the reverse side of the embroidery and the stitching etc. I wore the top and jacket with some green pants and it was a great modern and casual outfit. I live in 100+ degree weather and the flowy fabric allowed for air flow. This set is one of the more affordable sets and the q...

I love it!! It’s lined with a very soft faux-fur, the outside is a very comfortable material! It’s not enough for a tough winter but I will layer it under my winter jacket. It’s definitely warm! The material around the cuffs is stretchy, the sleeves are long enough! I’m ~6ft and it hangs at a good length, if you’re short you’d probably be alright it’s not too too long!

Absolutely AMAZING! The packaging was top tier, and the seller was very kind. This is now one of my most gorgeous purses I have now. Love the little coin purse it came with. My phone is a tad bit too big, but I can still fit a lot of necessities in here. The problem is that it's so pretty, I don't want to ruin it. I will probably wear it for special occasions. Lol

Love this! In-person, the colour is a bit more rust/darker orange than the orange seen in my photo or the product photos, which is nice, as I prefer darker and colours that are muter in tone. The curved collar is also adjustable! There are two buttons on the underside of the collar, so you can adjust how loose/tight you want the curvature?

I love this, it's super thick and soft! It's also uses two crossbody ties on the outside and one on the inside to overlap and close the garment. The only thing that surprised me was that the garment is much more merlot colored, and not crimson. The inside lining is crimson, but it is much more maroon on the outside.
