History Of Use
Jeogori made of rayon damask “yang-dan”, date from the 1950s, and are similar to those worn now. Those with a curved front edge are earlier. Such patterned fabrics were generally worn by older women.
Specific Techniques
Partly sewn by hand, and partly by machine. The sewing is not well done. Front outside facing is only pasted in place, not sewn.
