Fandoms: 成化十四年 | The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty (TV)

Summary
Breakdowns of what everyone’s wearing, from Tang Fan’s formal robes and Sui Zhou’s uniforms to Ming dynasty underwear and, yes, the “Mama Cui” outfit. Includes Dong’er, Wang Zhi and Ding Rong, Dr. Pei, Tang Yu, the Emperor, the Noble Consort, and many, many hats. This is by no means definitive or exhaustive, but it’ll give you something to describe in your fic beyond “a buncha robes.”*
*Which I have done. Sorry, Lan Zhan.
