When I was a
little girl, my favorite game was making myself up like an ancient lady. I
always think their clothes are so beautiful and represent the deep Chinese
culture and traditions.
The idea for
my newest design came from the women’s traditional dress of The Han Dynasty. After
I designed the pattern for the neck line and the cuffs, I decided to name it
Great Wall. It looks like The Great Wall to me. I selected the main body
pattern to resemble the fans that Asian women carried with them during that
period!
This pullover has a unique neckline, a beautiful
shape and an eastern style.
