Description

This project was intended to combine features of both modern and traditional dress ware of Korea. I used a mixture of fabrics to mimic the traditional shape, but with newer cotton fabrics.

Traditionally, there are multiple pieces of a set. The outer garment, the outer skirt, the inner skirt lining, and the inner top garment. The only deviation from that was a corset-style sweetheart neckline with boning inside. Florals are also commonly used motifs, but I went with a more newer style of floral fabrics.

Reflection

I made a few mistakes during the sewing process, including accidentally cutting through one main panel of the corset top. Other than little minor mistakes like that, I was satisfied with the result.

The entire project took me about 3 months, considering I drafted my own patterns and draped everything from scratch, I would say that it was fairly quick. I did a lot of research prior and it was much help into learning how to construct specific pieces. The outer garment itself is not as simple as it looks so I was extremely proud how it turned out.
