The clothes of puppets are mainly sewed by hands and embody the art of embroidery and fashion design. The clothes of different roles have different pictures and decoration styles. Besides being good-looking, clothes can be used to tell the personalities and wealth of the roles. Clothes can be divided into embroidered robe, armor, martial robe, hero garment, female clothes, cassock, eight-diagram garment, criminal robe and so on. “The clothes of puppets are more expensive than that of humans. Besides clothes, hats are also very important.” Said Mr. Hsiao, laughing. Below are some puppet clothes. Aren’t they gorgeous?
