[art] A Day In Court

Summary:

Leng Yue and Chu Chu wear their best to court.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Leng Yue smiling, wearing a pink jacket, green scarf and undershirt, and blue high waisted skirt. Chu Chu smiles, and wears a pink shirt, a red pleated high waisted skirt, a red transparent scarf, and holding a round fan with an ink painting of bamboo.

Notes:

Leng Yue's (left) clothes are based on what she wore when she went to the Emperor's tea party in episode 8, with some slight changes to the colours.

Chu Chu's (right) clothes were designed by me. They're a bit more ~costume-y than Leng Yue's. Due to the lack of surviving clothes from the Tang Dynasty, and having to reconstruct clothes from paintings and written records, there's some controversy about how certain clothes worked. The broad embroidered band going around Chu Chu's chest, held on with ties, is an existing reconstruction of how hezis worked... but it's maybe not the most likely reconstruction. ^^; Still, it's very fancy, in my opinion, and the Imperial Coroner is fairly ~costume-y show. (Chu Chu's fan is also queering the binary between bamboo and spinal bones, because she is the sort of person who would want one, and her husband is the sort of person who would make one.)
