They wore elaborate costumes that symbolized imperial authority and dignity.

These costumes not only reflected the fashion trends of their time but also showcased the cultural and historical context.

During the Qing Dynasty, empress dowagers wore traditional Han clothing, including long robes, pleated skirts, and headdresses.

These garments were usually made of silk and featured bright colors and intricate patterns.

Some of these costumes were adorned with jewelry and other accessories to highlight the status and wealth of the imperial family members.

In addition to their costumes, empress dowagers also wore various accessories such as necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings.

These accessories were typically made of gold or silver and adorned with precious stones and pearls.

They not only added to the beauty of the costumes but also symbolized the identity and status of imperial family members.

In conclusion, empress dowagers in Chinese history wore magnificent costumes that represented imperial authority and dignity.

These costumes not only reflected the fashion trends of their time but also showcased the cultural and historical context.
