The social gender theory is a historical analysis method which is benificial to explore the system of human organization activities around “male”or “female” activities. Historically, the process of human socialization is also a process of social gender institutionalization. Therefore, the paper tried to analyze the connotation of ethnic women’s costume from the social gender perspective to help people realize further the women’s state in sexism society and value in ethnic group constructing and developing. Firstly, the paper sets forth the characteristic of “group” of ethnic people female costumes. The next, the paper explored the costume how to set up a system of ethic standard in inner group so as to maintain the social order. Subsequently, the paper points out, with the rapid evolution of society, more and more ethnic people men participate cities construction and outer social activities. Consequently, most of minority men wear modern clothing instead of their traditional clothing, only women still insist in wearing the traditional clothing. Finally, according to research above, the authors consider that ethnic people female costumes emerge strong gender content which reflects more constraints rather than equality between men and women. Besides, it is certain that women have irreplaceable value in ethinc group construction and development.
