Traditional Korean Bridal

October 28, 2010

Traditional Korean bridal gowns consist of an elaborately embroidered and layered gown with a red skirt and yellow jacket symbolizing joy and life. The short jacket with sleeves is called a chogori. It has two long ribbons that tie, making the otkorum (traditional tie found on Korean garb). The long skirt, or chima, is high-waisted and wraps around the body. Brides traditionally wear boat-shaped shoes made of silk.
