Nowadays, the way to observe the traditional costumes of Yue Opera is to search the internet for pictures and images, or to enter a Yue Opera museum and look at the costumes through the windows, but we cannot get close enough to see them and we can only see the costumes in two-dimensional, flat displays. Secondly, the design of modern fashion using the concept of Yue Opera plays a role in the preservation and dissemination of Yue Opera costume culture.

The use of three-dimensional virtual simulation technology to digitize costumes contributes to the preservation and dissemination of Yue Opera costume culture. The costume elements are then extracted for costume design so that the designed fashions can reflect the cultural characteristics of Yue Opera, and then virtual simulation technology is used for costume display to realize the dissemination of Yue Opera costume culture. The research method of this paper is to draw 12 sets of traditional costumes of Yue Opera by understanding and studying the costume culture of Yue Opera and transform them into a 3D digital virtual presentation of the costumes. The purpose of this paper is to attempt a virtual simulation of Yue Opera costumes through an understanding and analysis of Yue Opera costumes, as well as to use the extracted elements related to Yue Opera costumes for modern fashion design based on Yue Opera costume style. The costume is an important part of the performance of Yue Opera, which carries the culture and history of Yue Opera. Yue Opera is known as the second most important national opera in China.
