DuDou, was an ancient Chinese bodice used primarily as an undergarment that was once worn by Chinese women and kids across all classes.

It was usually made into a diamond shape and was tied across the back, leaving the arms and back uncovered.

Most Dudous were made of silk yarn or crepe edged with brocade. Young women would use bright-colored brocade of red, pink or green. They would also embroider flowers, butterflies or mandarin ducks which symbolized love on the front of dudous.
