The Kkoribyeol Floral Skirt.
$215 to $305 · quoted in consultation
A flowing chima with a hand-rendered floral that runs long down one panel, the way a comet pulls its tail. A printed silk blend with a soft drape, lined through the body.
The piece that moves.
Occasion
A bridal shower hosted in a hillside garden. An engagement photo shoot at golden hour. The afternoon a friend asks for a piece that walks into the camera. The day that wants a chima that moves.
The story
Kkoribyeol is the Korean word for a comet, a tail-star. The metaphor in the name is a long line of light pulled across a dark sky. The chima has carried long lines before, painted lines and embroidered lines, but the comet print is a contemporary move. A floral that concentrates on one panel and pulls.
This piece prints the floral down one panel of the chima, the rest of the body left quiet. The silk blend drapes soft and holds the line in motion. The Seoul workshop hand-finishes the hem so the drape stays clean. Lined through the body so the photograph reads as one chima and not as a layered build.
Worn at an engagement photo shoot in a hillside garden. The bride walks downhill toward the camera and the comet print catches the diagonal light. The frame the couple chooses for the save-the-date is the one where the chima is mid-step. The print is doing what the name promised.
Hand-finished in Seoul. Inspected and fitted in San Mateo.
