Please read the introduction of the topic and how to use this guide in advance.
Introduction
Zhongyi, also known as Liyi, is worn outside of underwear and within outerwear (the Chinese meaning of 中 is equivalent to the middle), and its role is similar to that of a shirt in modern clothing, which can be used to match and complement the role of Zhongyi. Zhongyi cannot be worn outside, and in addition to playing the role of a shirt, it can also be used as home wear and pajamas.
The Zhongyi illustrated in this section is the common cross-collar arrow-sleeved Zhongyi, while the broad Zhongyi also includes Zhongdan (中单), Zhongku (中裤, pants), and Zhognqun (中裙, skirts).
Zhongyi common fabric types are cotton, cotton linen, chiffon, monochrome satin, etc. In addition to the most commonly used white fabric, girls can also choose colored fabrics when they match the Ruqun, the colors of which are bright green, soft yellow, peach, purple and gray, etc. Men wearing Pan collar robe with Zhongyi can also choose red.
Because Zhongyi's body and collar than the outer clothing are more fitted, the collar edge is slightly higher than the outer clothing, so wearing the outer clothing will often show a little Zhongyi's collar. For the convenience of movement and beauty, the sleeves of Zhongyi are often shorter than those of outerwear, and the sleeve type of Zhongyi worn with everyday clothes is mostly arrow sleeves or straight sleeves, while the sleeve type of Zhongyi worn with wide sleeves formal dresses are mostly wide sleeves.
The Zhongku shown in this section is mainly for matching Zhongyi, for example, men wear Zhongyi and Zhongku, which can be matched with outerwear such as Daopao, Zhiduo, and Pan collar robes on the outside. Although women's clothing in Hanfu is mainly skirts, they can also wear Zhongku and then wear skirts outside.

Os padrões são lindos, mas eu gostaria de uma explicação mais detalhada se possível, obg
Thank you so much! You eased my work a lot! I'm doing hanfu as a hobby) Special thanks to all the measurements!!!
Nice patterns! It helped a lot! I have a question though: how were seams finished? i used the trim down one side of the seam and wrap the other side over and whip stitch it down. But it felt a little western.
This! I am having the same issue, did you find an answer?
Alas, no. :p But I did settle for practical, western or not, it stopped fraying.^^
Very detailed pattern, but making hanfu is still too difficult for me.😭😭
