Horse-face skirt is a typical style of women’s wear in China’s Ming and Qing dynasties. It represents an important aesthetic concept in the life history of Chinese women, i.e. thinking little of structure but playing emphasis on decoration, restrained and natural, releasing the body’s zen aesthetic ideas, which is in sharp contrast with western drape cutting which attaches importance to structure and highlights the silhouette of human body. The study on the shape and workmanship of horse-face skirt is of certain significance to the inheritance and innovation of Chinese traditional costumes.%马面裙是明清女性着装中典型的裙子款式,它代表着中国女性生活史中一个重要的审美理念,即轻视结构、重视装饰、含蓄自然、释放身体的禅宗美学思想,与西方重视结构、突出人体的立体裁剪形成了鲜明的风格对比。对于马面裙的形制结构及制作工艺的研究,在一定程度上对于中国特色服饰风格的传承与创新有着崭新的时代意义。
