Under-trousers of unbleached heavy white cotton fabric. The underwear has a wide cotton waistband. There is an opening on the right side, closed by wide ties. The wide pant legs are pleated into the waistband; the three pleats on each side face the centre seam, front and back. A triangular panel is inserted between the legs, ending below the knees. The panel is lined with the same cotton fabric, which extends into adjacent areas of the pant legs. The rest of the underwear is unlined.
Padded under-trousers of fine white cotton fabric, lined with coarser off-white fabric. Pants are angled out from the pleated waistband to the ankles. Waistband has opening at the side, to which are attached narrower long ties. Pleats face towards centre, front and back. Crotch is open from the waistband to the knee, with the opening concealed by additional knee-length panels, each continuous from their insertion into the front waistband to their insertion into the back, extending inward from the opening on the inner edge of each leg. One panel slots inside the other. Inner leg seams each form a convex curve.

Pair of coarse white cotton socks (part a-b). The sock has wide ankles, rounded heel and foot angled downward. The fabric is folded over at the top to form a double layer with the seam joining the layers and outlining the rest of the sock. The edges of the fabric are concealed between the layers. Uneven rows of machine stitching reinforce or repair the area above the heel.
Purple skirt of open weave. The skirt is made of two panels of purple nylon fabric with a subtle woven pattern of roundels enclosing a stylized circular flower. The skirt is open at the back and is lined with white nylon mesh. The panels are pleated and inserted into a band of blue nylon fabric lined with white cotton gauze. The upper edge of the band is straight but the white lining shows above it in slight scallops. Attached to the points of the scallops are two shoulder straps of white cotton gauze. At both ends of the band are sewn narrow ties of white cotton gauze.

Light green silk blouse with striped sleeves. The blouse is short and flared with long sleeves. The centre opening has gores of yellow silk on the front edges and is tied closed with red silk ties. The neck is finished with a burgundy silk band, which has an inner neck band of white silk called “dong-jeong”. The sleeves are made of bands of coloured silk stitched together, called “seak-dong”, that are vertical when the arms are extended. The bands are yellow, blue, red, green, white, red, yellow, pink, white, and burgundy. The lower edge of the straight sleeves curves upwards slightly at the end. The blouse is completely lined with fine white cotton cloth that is pasted to the outer layer with no exposed seams. There is a faint blue floral pattern stamped on the lining of the front panel, which overlaps the right front panel when tied.
