The base of "heart garment" is "robe belly", and the upper end of "embrace belly" is made of "hook shoulder" and "crotch" instead of thin belt. The similarity between the two is that the back is bare and there is no back film.

Tang dynasty: terminalia chebula

Before the Tang Dynasty, the shoulders of underwear were decorated with straps. In the Tang Dynasty, there appeared a strapless underwear called "Chebula". This is also determined by the shape and characteristics of their coats: women in the Tang Dynasty like to wear "semi-topless skirts". They tied the skirts high on their chests and then tied a wide belt at the lower part of their chests with two shoulders. The upper chest and back are exposed, covered with transparent gauze, and the underwear is looming, so the underwear fabric is exquisite and colorful, which is quite similar to the "underwear wearing outside" advocated today. In order to match this habit, underwear needs to be strapless. The commonly used fabric of "terminalia chebula" is "woven", which is stiff and slightly elastic and feels thick. When you wear it, you can just tie two straps under your chest, and "weaving" ensures that the upper part of "terminalia chebula" will stand upright.
