Lishu’s long coat extends below the dress beneath it, giving her pink court silhouette two distinct hem lines. The shawl adds another layer to that outline, while the waist band marks a pause between the upper body and the length below. This is a costume to consider as a whole figure: the relationship between its layers matters as much as the accessories near the face.
A reserved presence in the rear palace
As the youngest of the four high consorts in The Apothecary Diaries, Lishu has a shy, sweet presence within the rear palace. Her familiar pink wardrobe suits that characterization without requiring an elaborate pose. A small gesture or a moment of hesitation can give a portrait direction. You can suggest her reserve through expression while allowing the layered clothing to establish her court setting.
Seven listed elements, one Full Set
At $166.99, the Consort Lishu Full Set includes the coat, dress, shawl, waist band, jewellery, headpieces and straps. Having those elements together lets you plan the clothing and ornamentation as one purchase. The listed material is polyester.
A wig and shoes are not included, so leave room for both in the costume budget. Select footwear with the dress length in mind, especially if you intend to walk between photo locations. The headpieces are included accessories; a wig remains a separate choice.
Let the dress decide the fit
All seven sizes, XS through XXXL, are orderable, with separate garment measurements for the coat and dress. Read both before selecting a size. In M, the coat bust is 90–94 cm, while the dress bust is 86–90 cm and its waist is 64–68 cm. That difference matters: the outer garment’s dimensions alone cannot tell you whether the dress will fit.
The M coat also lists a 50 cm sleeve and a 55 cm shoulder measurement, alongside a height range of 158–166 cm. For comparison, S pairs a coat bust of 86–90 cm with a dress bust of 82–86 cm and a dress waist of 60–64 cm. Moving to L changes those bust ranges to 94–98 cm for the coat and 90–94 cm for the dress, with a 68–72 cm dress waist.
Length deserves its own check. The M coat has a back length of 121 cm, compared with 114 cm for the dress. Compare those figures with clothing you already own to judge where each hem might fall. Allow for a hand-measurement difference of 1–3 cm.
Give Lishu’s long layers room
For photographs, leave space below the waist rather than cropping every image at the shoulders. A full-length composition can show the difference between coat and dress lengths, while a closer portrait gives the jewellery and headpieces their turn. A plain background is a useful choice when you want the layered outline to remain easy to read.
Think of the shawl, waist band and ornaments together when planning your presentation. Lishu’s pink Full Set is the selection for the coat, dress and shawl together; there is no alternate style or color offered here.
