The fabric of opera sleeves needs to be "thick", not as soft as the sleeves of classical dance. Because most of the costumes of traditional operas in China have embroidery, if the cloth used is light, it will' stick' to the costumes and affect the performances of the characters. Especially the actors wearing embroidered robes can't make the sleeves shake smoothly with the actors after' shaking the sleeves', which is very embarrassing. Opera singers need to shake their sleeves frequently.

The fabric used for opera sleeves must not be thin, but as thick, encrypted and heavy as the current "heavy silk".

Classical dance needs a light feeling, such as fairies descending to earth, Dunhuang dance, and scattered flowers. It needs that kind of spiritual feeling like a ribbon with sleeves. The selected fabric is also single-layered, soft and elegant.
