The skirt does the work.
Occasion
An engagement dinner. A holiday gathering where the dress code reads gently formal. The night you want the silhouette without the full set.
The story
The chima carries the hanbok silhouette. The jeogori sets the chest. The chima does the line from the chest to the floor. A modern woman who wears a Western blouse with a chima is making the older move, the one Korean women made for centuries when the upper piece changed and the skirt held the read.
Haena is the skirt taken seriously on its own terms. A sheer organza outer layers over an opaque silk-touch lining. A wide waistband holds the line without a corset, set so the hem lands mid-calf on a tall frame and at the ankle on a shorter one. The Seoul workshop finishes the hem by hand.
Worn with a cream silk blouse at an engagement dinner in October. The skirt walks in first. The blouse arrives as a tonal partner. The room reads as Korean without anyone having to translate. The chima has been doing this work for centuries and does not need a jeogori to prove it.
Hand-finished in Seoul. Inspected and fitted in San Mateo.
