Published 2026-05-16

Pattern colors looked perfect on screen but came out lighter in person. Gray tones look surprisingly elegant despite the tricky green+blue/green+white gradients.

Making Steps

Editorial notes based on creator, source, or submitter information.

When recreating this gray-gradient hanfu, watch the colors carefully: the finished result can look lighter than the pattern, and the collar can become too pale if you forget to tune it. The design uses green-blue and green-white gradients. The arm flowers can look busy, so simplify them if needed. This kind of pattern works best for long robes.

The pattern sheet colors look great but the actual beads came out lighter. .jpg The collar came out too light again, ugh ugh ugh, forgot to adjust the colors — this one has two gradient types again, green+blue / green+white, so annoying… But the gray honestly looks so sophisticated, the finished result is amazing, I had so much fun making it… Though having too many patterns on the arms looks a bit odd, but I tried my best to recreate it faithfully. Finished in under three hours this time… Getting faster and faster! How did I end up with four great Tang dynasty poets [facepalm emoji] Starting to run out of ideas for what to make next, browsing around for pattern sheets… Thinking about Yuyu or Dudu, but Dudu's original skin has the sleeves tucked in, and I can't make out Yuyu's pattern sheet at all (no Yuyu here). Should I consider Li and Du? But Li Bai's pants are just impossible… Maybe make Du Fu to complete the Li-Du pair, but then it'd be Li Shangyin and Du Fu? 🙀 If anyone has other requests feel free to suggest, though for robes-only characters, some pure long-pants designs are really out of my hands — for anything doable I'll do my best to look for a pattern sheet.
