Dressed in Hanfu, I whisper China's ancient names - Jiuzhou, Huaxia, Shenzhou - each opens up a shimmering portal. Through the passage of time, I wander, journeying through 5,000 years of Ancient China.

I wore this to prom and absolutely loved it! I received many compliments and felt like a princess. happy to represent my culture hehe
I bought these shoes to go with the hanfu I bought to wear to my senior prom. This was my first time actually purchasing shoes that fit my feet perfectly. They are very comfortable to wear, as well as being high quality in both materials and appearance. I would definitely purchase shoes from this seller again!
Absolutely in love with it! It looks just like in the pictures and the materials are good quality. It's absolutely gorgeous, totally worth it!
Super soft light weight garment that fitted the description. Cindy helped with the sizing and I'm glad she did! I was worried about the waist measurement and if there was any stretch or not. She helped me with choosing the right size which ended up perfect. Skirt and blouse had no flaws when I tried it on
It got faster then I was told, look just like the pictures and I have to say this is the nicest thing I have ever worn in my life!💙💙
Absolutely beautiful! My first ever hanfu and I think I'm already addicted? The fabric is incredibly soft and the print & embroidery is well done.
Bought this for my Mom for Mother's Day and she was absolutely thrilled. The quality is fantastic and it fit her just right. This is where I'll be going for all of my Hanfu needs
The shipping was faster than expected! The dress is beautiful and the embroidery well done. It does not feel like cheap material, very happy with my purchase~
A Stunning, Well Made, Show Stopper!
This is my first hanfu, and I'm so glad I came to this shop for the purchase! This hanfu is absolutely stunning and of great quality, and the seller is wonderful. I bought a size larger than I normally wear just to be on the safe side and realize I probably shouldn't have! But even with me buying a size too large, it still fits very well and looks incredibly flattering! I will definitely be back! Thank you!!
The Amaia is an exquisite piece of hanfu and quality is top notch. It looks even more beautiful than the photos. And the seller, Cindy, was polite and responsive throughout the stages. She was also very patient with all my queries
I was a little worried about the quality when I ordered it, but when it arrived I was shocked at how nice it was! The fabric didn't feel cheap and looks amazing! It looks almost exactly like the picture and I'm very happy with it. My hanfu also arrived very early which was a lovely surprise! All in all, a well-earned 5 stars!
My outfit arrived super fast and is true to the posted measurements! Quality iPod the fabric is as expected, I was able to steam the major wrinkles out. The embroidery is stunning and colors amazing! Felt great wearing this at the Ren Faire.
I loveeee this hanfu set! The item definitely matched the description and delivered more! I am kinda excited that I can wear each of the items separately for daily outings!
