Hanbok - the Korean traditional dress



Koreans nowadays only wear the Hanbok at special occasions
and festivals but it used to be the everyday dress to wear up until
100 years ago.
Children wear a Hanbok for their 1st birthday and adults wear it on
their wedding day & their 60th birthday.
The Hanbok is also worn for funerals and religious services.
The Hanbok is coloured using natural dyes in colours such as pink, red and blue.



The tight jacket and billowing skirt is considered very beautiful and enhances
the wearers beauty.
The design of it is original with unique lines that are smooth yet sharp.
Koreans have lived with nature and favour smooth curves rather than straight lines as they 
think curves are more beautiful.
Every Hanbok is more beautiful on and when the wearer is dancing!

So next fancy dress party you know what to make!
