Mamianqun, (lit. 'Horse face skirt') is a traditonal Chinese skirt, considered a part of hanfu. The skirt originated from the Song and Liao dynasties.
The skirt is pleated and is composed of two overlapping panels, attached to a band, which is then wrapped around the waist, making it a wrap skirt. It is typically long and can be easily recognized by its larger front and back pleats and smaller pleats along it's sides.
Mamianqun is most often worn in aoqun, but can be worn in ruqun. In modern times its also been worn with contemporary clothing items, creating a contrast between new and old.
