What is a mamianqun?
The mamianqun is a wrap skirt from the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) with flat panels at the front and back and deep pleats at the sides. Woven gold bands along the hem — often dragons, clouds or flowers — made it a festival and wedding favourite.
Dynasty Portrait pairs it with Ming-style tops, hair ornaments and scenes like palace courtyards, lantern corridors and plum blossom in snow. Men get Ming scholar and wuxia looks: topknot crowns, robes, swords and flutes.

Questions
Is there a men's version?
Yes — men's Ming looks with a topknot crown, headband or scholar's cap, robes in black-gold, navy or teal, and wuxia-style poses. No women's hair ornaments are used for men.
Can I try several looks?
Yes. Pick a different hair ornament or outfit each time — the pose, expression and background also change, so every portrait is different.
