The Eundam Skirt (Long or Mini).
$215 to $305 · quoted in consultation
A chima with a contrasting color band where the waistband meets the skirt. Two lengths share the same waistband and the same band. The long carries the traditional read. The mini cuts above the knee.
One pattern, two lengths.
Occasion
Long for the Lunar New Year visit. Mini for a downtown dinner three weeks later. The Saturday lunch with a friend who has been asking about the band since the holiday. The conversation either length starts.
The story
Eundam is a Korean word for a small understated grace. The chima can carry color across the whole body or it can keep the body quiet and let the band at the waist do the talking. The latter is the move this piece makes. A single band of contrast where the waist meets the skirt, drawn clean.
Two lengths share the construction. The same band, the same matte poly with a slight sheen, the same hidden side zip. The long carries the traditional silhouette to the holiday table. The mini cuts the same band above the knee for a downtown room. The Seoul workshop sews the band in rather than laying it over, so the line stays flush.
Worn long at Lunar New Year and mini at a dinner at a Korean steakhouse three weeks later. A friend at the second dinner asks if the band is the same band as the one she saw at New Year. The answer is yes. The household has two chima for one piece. That is the read.
Hand-finished in Seoul. Inspected and fitted in San Mateo.
