Abstract

The traditional style of Chinese women's dress was formed during the Zhou Dynasty (周), further developed during the Qin Dynasty (秦漢), and reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty (唐宋). Additionally, the garment classification system was solidified during the Ming Dynasty (明). This study focuses on the patterns and 3D reconstruction of the Wave Ju garment (曲裾深衣), a traditional Chinese aristocratic women's garment representative of the Han Dynasty period. This study analyzed the style, dimensions, patterns, colors, and fabrics of the Wave Ju garment based on literature studies and excavated archival materials. Moreover, its shape, dimensions, and patterns were reconstructed using a CLO 3D program. This process aimed to recreate the original appearance of the traditional clothing as much as possible, and data on aspects such as pressure and deformation force were compared and analyzed to comprehensively evaluate its functionality and the effects of wear. The goal of this study is to contribute to the protection and legacy of traditional Chinese women's clothing through historical documentation, clothing analysis, and 3D reconstruction.
