Huge jacket-and-trousers combination worn by women throughout the Qing period

"Almost throughout the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the classical ensemble was a jacket-and-trousers combination. In size and length the jacket corresponded to the modern swagger coat. The collar was very low; huge sleeves and trousers gave a feeling of statuesque repose." – Eileen Chang, Chinese Life and Fashions, 1943.
