Woman's winter top

Korea

Not on view

The upper garment of a hanbok (Korean dress), for both men and women, is called a jeogori. They share the same basic features: long sleeves and an open form that has a left-over-right closure that is kept together with single-bow tie. The length of the jeogori and the sleeve shape changed over time and reflect the current fashion trends. Social class also dictated clothing choices.

This jeogori is made of thick padded material indicating that it is winter attire. The short length and straight sleeves reflect the fashion trend of the early 20th century.
