So, after four days of fighting with the sewing machine, broken threaders, and so much fraying, I finally finished this shan! It will be my first shan in this style - because when it finally started to be fashionable, I stopped buying much hanfu… Also I really hate when the bottom hem is uneven on me, so it will have to be tailored-made instead of buying from the rack.
This post only talks about drafting the patterns and the measurement. The steps of making… I think @yi-gege‘s post here should be enough. I usually sew in the following sequence (not sure if it is the right way of doing it): the back seam, the sleeves, front and back, the collar, and at last the bottom and sleeve hems.
This post also includes some tips on the back seam, the arm pit, the bottom hem, bar-tack at the vents and what to do if you ran out of fabric. Also, while I did not put it in the slides, but do remember to iron before and after sewing every seam to get a sharp finish.
There will be another post specifically on how to collar a hanfu.
I hope this post is understandable LOL.
“i liked it before it was cool” well i liked it AFTER it was cool when everyone abandoned it

You are the heirss of one of the most feared houses on the entire continent of El-lar, descended from cruel and powerful leaders and warriors, carrying your family's bloody legacy on your shoulders.
Your father's expectations are upon you, demanding perfection or the cruelty that comes from your ancestors. You, an ice elemental, must honor the power you were born with while still in your mother's womb, and your father's violent teachings that haunt you wherever you go.
Amidst nobles and commoners, there are threats hidden in seemingly friendly smiles, and next door is an ancient and equally powerful kingdom, filled with mages and ambitious leaders. If it weren't enough for the countless creatures, people and deadly intrigues that this legacy brings you, a threat arises from the past and threatens the relative peace that exists in the court of your kingdom.
Threatening your life, your home and your people. Who is it? Or what is it? It is not known yet, but what does it have to do with your family, oh that has.

Cecília Marven: The oldest heir of the Marven house, Cecília is a person dedicated to her family and very protective of her younger brother Caio. She is intelligent but also quite brave, to the point of scaring most of the school, both for her protectiveness with her family and friends, as well as being one of the most strategists in the academy, getting some of the best grades. No wonder, since her family is military and had great generals and advisers who came from the Marven house. She spends a lot of time training on the fields and in the training rooms.
"I take care of mine." Cecilia Marven.
///
Nix Arren, from Akalis:
Heirs to the throne of Akalis, Nix is not only intelligent, with remarkable skills in runes and magic as a mage, but also has training and experience from their studies in Akalis. Boldness and determination mark their presence, carrying himself with a natural leadership combined with their strategic mind.
"Everyone wears masks, some better than others."
///
Caio Marven: Cecilia's younger brother, who, unlike his sister, is more passive and not as popular as her. He is calm, and rarely gets a chance to prove his worth to his family, as his father and sister are very protective of him. He really wants to prove himself useful. Although he is also quite intelligent, he is not very good at dueling, preferring to spend his time studying in the library.
" I'm trying my best." Caio Marven.
Elia Samuels: She's part of the academy's golden group, a wonder elementary of light, especially when it comes to healing. She volunteers in the infirmary of the academy where her older sister works, helping out whenever possible and spending her time there even if there are no patients and other people there. She is kind but also bold. When it comes to taking care of her patients, she can be extremely insistent on helping.
"I care too much, that could be a problem." Elia Samuels.
///
Hayden Elkar: Heirs to the throne of the Kingdom of Elkar, a little narcissistic, but no wonder. They are good at duels and very good at controlling their elemental powers, attractive and very popular at school, they have their own fans and great grades. The perfect heirs, or maybe not? One thing to mention about them is that they love to spend their free time in the stables and also alone somewhere quiet.
///
Tyler Krevan: Bastard son of Don Krevan, Tyler is a true sleeper, but curiously continues to get great grades. He enjoys parties but also his precious time in the art rooms. He knows how to use a sword but his specialty is Elemental manipulation. He is excellent at manipulating the air and knows how to use it like no other student.
" I have nothing to lose." Tyler Krevan.
