It is called Jinbu (禁步),and is an ancient hanfu accessory. It was originally used to hold down the hem of the skirt by combining various shapes of jade pendant with colored threads and tying them in a string around the waist. When wearing the Jinbu, the sound made by the pendant is slow and moderate, with the right amount of weight. If the rhythm is disorderly, it will be considered rude, and the ancients were very concerned about this.
From the production and match of the Jinbu can be seen in the ancient people’s pursuit of beauty and the embodiment of their aesthetic. Most of them chose better jade as the main body to make the match, which can be seen their requirements on quality. Forbidden step development to the end, most of the nature of decoration, as the modern people wear jewelry.
In ancient times, women would choose relatively beautiful and soft to choose the Jinbu, which can show the woman’s gentle, just as in ancient times men would choose to wear jade pendant, they would choose relatively heavy, the color is relatively calm.

Is this a wedding dress or an ancient empress’ costume?

Not sure about empress, but officials probably. Wedding dress, yes. Back then, people getting married are allowed to wear a higher rank clothing for the wedding. Not sure about the very long train, though.
