Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

She wore a two-layered, red and white interlaced gauze skirt, with a red apron over it.

The jiaoyu skirt is made of about 18 feet of material. When walking, the skirt flutters and the layers of fabric sway up like a slowly blooming flower with a swirling dance step.

Underneath the skirt were close-fitting red trousers, the legs of which were tied with light red ribbons and tucked into red leather boots.

She wore a bright red, wide-sleeved, round-necked silk top, over which was a short, open-front embroidered jacket with butterflies and flowers embroidered in colorful thread. As she danced, her wide sleeves flowed like clouds, making her look quite beautiful.

The dance costume that Dong Yue'e is wearing is a combination of Tang Dynasty beizi, Wei-Jin period jiaoyu skirt and apron, and the clothing of Xiu Niang in Jianwang 3.

The Tang-style jacket, a half-sleeved top, has only a small portion of sleeves. However, Dong Yue'e felt that if paired with a wide-sleeved, round-necked inner garment, the half-sleeves would look a bit cumbersome. So she simply changed the top to a front-opening, shoulder-cut design, so that her shoulders wouldn't appear too broad.

The lower skirt still uses the folded skirt that is usually paired with a Tang-style jacket, but it has been changed from a single-layered folded skirt to a two-layered folded skirt of red and white gauze, plus a red apron. Because the hem is wide, the apron is slightly gathered, giving it a fishtail skirt-like appearance.

Even a light gauze skirt with two layers can look bulky, and to achieve the effect of blooming like a flower while twirling, the skirt needs to be at least 4.5 meters long.

There's a saying in modern times: "Three meters makes a barrel, six meters makes a skirt, nine meters makes a flower, and twelve meters makes a fairy." If you want to achieve a stunning visual effect, the best choice is a 12-meter skirt.

It's worth noting that in modern Hanfu, pleated skirts with 12-meter hems are made of chiffon, single-layered and without lining, precisely to accentuate a slender figure.

12 meters is equivalent to 36 feet in ancient units of measurement. Even if Dong Yue'e's dance costume was not three layers long with a 12-meter hem, the expense was still enormous.

The reason why Dong Yue'e chose the Jiaoyu skirt was because it could achieve the effect of becoming an immortal, and it could also save on fabric.

In modern times, Dong Yue'e is a Hanfu enthusiast, so she naturally knows that the Jiaoyu skirt makes her look slimmer.

Generally speaking, when you twirl around in a skirt with a three-meter hem, the small hem makes it look like a bulging barrel.

If you like to wear Hanfu and twirl around, or if you're going to perform, you need to buy a robe with a skirt that's at least 4.5 meters long so you can twirl around properly. Back then, the starting point was usually 6 meters.

Later, the rolls reached 9 meters and 12 meters, which was probably the limit for making pleats.

The jiaoyu skirt, also known as the broken skirt, is made by sewing together multiple pieces of fabric, all of which are trapezoidal in shape.

A skirt is called a "broken skirt" when it is worn out. On Taobao, you can often find "eight broken skirts" and "twelve broken skirts".

Jiaoyu skirts are generally two-tone and unpleated, made of trapezoidal pieces. As a result, they use less material at the waist and have a large skirt, making the wearer appear tall and slim.

Furthermore, the three layers of the dance skirt are not the same length as the traditional three layers.

In modern Hanfu, the lower skirt usually comes with a lining, which is shorter inside and longer outside. That is to say, skirts of 6 meters or less are generally two-layered. Two layers are not considered cumbersome for a 6-meter lower skirt, and this is especially true for the Jiaoyu skirt.

Dong Yue'e simply changed the 6-meter-long folding skirt from a shorter inner layer to a longer outer layer, with the innermost folding skirt being a pure pink long skirt with white ruffles, the middle folding skirt being a light red and white embroidered long skirt, and the outermost layer being a red apron.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, women's clothing was mainly loose and flowing. To cinch their waists, they often wrapped a piece of cloth around their skirts, resembling the ancient garment called a "weichang".

Dong Yue'e originally thought that the Qing Dynasty phoenix tail skirt would look better with dance clothes than the apron, as the phoenix tail would flutter and the skirt would look like flowers when she twirled. However, after thinking about it, she still chose the apron.

First of all, as a Hanfu enthusiast, Dong Yue'e has not gone so far as to boycott Qing Dynasty Hanfu women's clothing, but she still wants to solve problems with Hanfu as much as possible.

Secondly, the production process of the phoenix tail skirt is more complicated than that of the apron.

The phoenix tail skirt is a special type of skirt from the Qing Dynasty. It is made of colorful strips of cloth attached to the waistband, with the ends of the cloth strips cut into pointed corners, resembling a phoenix tail, hence the name.

Because the gaps between the strips of cloth are relatively large, they cannot be worn alone and are often worn as an accessory around the outside of the horse-face skirt.

And apron is a piece of cloth.

In terms of time and cost, aprons are the best choice.

Finally, Dong Yue'e felt that if the apron was gathered up and then rotated, the blooming effect might be even better.

With a clang, the longsword pierced the air, and two bright red ribbons fluttered as her body moved. Dong Yue'e's left hand held a silk fan that drew several circles in the air, indicating that she had spun around on the ground several times. Then, with a light touch, she leaped into the air.

With a "whoosh," Dong Yue'e, still in the air, unfolded her silk fan and tossed it gently, causing the fan to spin rapidly in the air.

Dong Yue'e landed lightly, took a small step with her right foot, and thrust out her long sword with great speed, creating a graceful and heroic sword dance.

Just as the silk fan, which was spinning in the air, was about to fall, Dong Yue'e raised her left hand high and held her sword with the tip pointing downwards in her right hand. She quickly spun around several times towards where the silk fan was going to fall, and then nimbly caught the silk fan.

Dong Yue'e closed the silk fan with a slight clench of her fingers, then drew a circle outward with her left wrist. Her right foot quickly circled and landed in front of her left, causing her body to rotate 180 degrees before she smoothly sat down…

"Ouch!" Dong Yue'e threw her silk fan and longsword to the ground, stood up in annoyance, and said, "I always fail here. It's because my stance isn't stable enough. Forget about the 'Lying Fish' pose, I can't even sit down!"

Originally, Dong Yue'e had no intention of continuing to learn dance, but after that contact with Yang Yan'an, and after Meng Changyu and Jiao Wanqing mentioned the Dragon Boat Festival races, Dong Yue'e felt that she could not let go of this advantage.

She couldn't change her tomboyish nature, but in order to prevent Yang Yan'an from developing a relationship with her like Jiao Wanqing and Meng Changyu, she had to make sure Yang Yan'an never forgot that she was the woman who had once moved him and made him confess his feelings.

In the north there is a beautiful woman, peerless and independent. One glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation.

Dong Yue'e didn't consider herself beautiful enough to be stunning at first glance, but she was willing to strive to amaze everyone with her dance and win someone's heart.

Originally, Dong Yue'e preferred the White Silk Dance, Water Sleeve Dance, Lingbo Dance, and Jinghong Dance, and these types of dances were indeed the dominant ones in the song and dance performances after the dragon boat races.

However, after watching too many of these kinds of dances, it becomes difficult to distinguish between good and bad.

In addition, Dong Yue'e's dance skills were only two years old, and she was no match for the other dancers in the brothel.

Wanting to represent one's own brothel on stage is nothing but wishful thinking.

The only way is to find another way, ask a master for help, and win the opportunity to go on stage.

However, it is not easy to perform sword dance well. Everyone can perform the fancy moves, but few can capture the essence and amaze the audience.
