So, the shawl(light green thingy around Xiang is styled in front of her like "U shape, which I remember or in my impression is probably much popular of styling during the Tang dynasty than the Song although there are evidences of Song women styling their shawls U shape in the front like statues of Jinci temple in Shanxi province of China, it dates back to the Song dynasty, there we can see some examples of Song women's clothings and accessories on statue of goddesses, these clothings often happens to be in consistency with paintings of Song dynasty women and what would've been worn at that time, I didn't feel like making Xiang's shawl to be U shaped at the back so I made it to be in the front, I designed her shawl to be in U shaped at a front of a special reason....if you're familiar with Song dynasty fashion and history, I'll leave that to your theories because I do not wish to spoil her stories
(unrelated but as I'm writing this, goodness, my head is so painful after brewing and whisking Song-style teas, had like 3+ of it, it was midnight)
as for the waist acessories, she's got a white jade ring in shape of a flower actually, I felt like Song women's clothing especially the upper class like her, can't escape this accessory, I thought "IT NEEDS TO BE THERE!!, and here it is!
(for her shoes, I unfortunately forgot to add it but it is based on shoes worn by rich ladies of the Tang and Song, it helps with removing skirt out of the way because they often worn long skirts that trail off the floor, often they do not need to worry about it getting dirtied because they have servants cleaning the estate they live in or if it gets soiled they can fetch servants at their disposal to wash it for them)
