This sewing pattern is for the traditional costume of Korea which is composed of two garments; the Chogori (short jacket) and Chima (full dress). The wrap dress drapes gracefully and the jackets ribbon-accented V-neck draws attention to the face. The dress (chima) is pleated to a band above the bust, wraps in the back, and ties in front. The jacket (chogori) has elegantly shaped sleeves, wide cuff bands, and a narrow ribbon trim along the neckline. It crosses in front and ties in a single knot bow with tails that drape towards the knee. You can wear both components of the han-bok in the traditional way, the dress alone as a sheer summery sundress, or the jacket as a dramatic art-to-wear companion to a simple dress or tunic. Pattern includes historical notes about the Han-Bok and design motifs from different periods of Korea’s history. Note: the bows on some of our models are not tied in the traditional and correct manner. The correct bow tie is to have a single loop and one longer ‘tail’ on the tie.
