Yep, women's court dress in the Tang was very much like the evening gowns of the West - very easy on the eyes 
Although the plumpness of many of the beauties might be less appealing to us today!
By the Song dynasty, I think most 'respectable' women would have covered themselves up alot more. The only 'sexy' thing on women that men were normally allowed to see was their small feet (in shoes, of course) - a very strange development in standards of beauty that still puzzles us now.
BTW, the last picture is from a TV series on Wu Zetian.

The dead have passed beyond our power to honour or dishonour them, but not beyond our ability to try and understand.

The 3 kingdoms clothings are different from that in Tang dynasty.

Actually I think the whole point of small female feet was to get the "dainty" look and walk. That's pretty much what the western and modern highheels do too, just that the Song dynasty went too far in actually physically altering women's feet. :-)
