Massive Mao Suit Commemorating Xinhai Revolution Centennial

Chinese designers have finished a two-story-high Mao suit to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution.

The suit weighs 40 kg and is 4.3 meters in length, making it about 36 times the size of one worn by Sun Yat-sen, a revolutionary forerunner and leader of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911.

It took 10 teachers and students at the Zhejiang Textile & Fashion College four months to finish the massive garment.

In 1911, protests and armed uprisings took place across China against the monarchy of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). These events led to the toppling of the country's last emperor and the founding of the Republic of China on Jan. 1, 1912.
