Various hanfu in Tang Dynasty by golo_é«äœŹ. These cute pictures are actually in line with archeological records. Tang Dynasty has the most liberal ethos in ancient China so the women were free to show their cleavage and dressed in menâs hanfu.
I hope this will help with your reenactments and fanart. :)

First things first. For those of you who swear by the pink dress, yes, thereâs a version for you as well:
âŠAaaaand moving on. So Prince Philip does specifically and emphatically say âthis is the 14th century!â at some point during the film, but Philipâs an idiot (a handsome, handsome idiot) and I, never afraid to ignore source material, ignored him.
Oddly enough Philipâs clothing is a better point of reference than Auroraâs (since the hourglass, off-the-shoulder cut of her dress is straight out of the 1950âs), and there are far more examples of his get-up from the 1460âs onward than in the 14th century. I went with my gut and ended up with something around 1485- a little later than one might expect, but itâs such a (beautifully) stylized film that all bets are off.
EDIT: OH ALSO HER EYES ARE OPEN. Â WHOA.
