The Ipsaedal Sheer Skirt.
$215 to $305 · quoted in consultation
Ipsaedal, leaf-month. A sheer chima with a woven check pattern laid over a smooth contrast slip. The check pattern reads at a distance, the slip color rises through the sheer to set the tone. Two layers, one register.
Check, in sheer.
Occasion
A spring lunch in a garden where the wind keeps moving. The afternoon when the sun is high enough to find the check pattern and the slip pushes its color through.
The story
The chima is the oldest piece of the hanbok wardrobe, the wide waistband and bias panel that trust cloth to fall rather than tailor it. Layered chima are not a modern invention. The Joseon wardrobe stacked an under-skirt for body and an over-skirt for read. The Ipsaedal updates that habit into a sheer check and a smooth slip beneath.
Sheer poly woven through with a check so the pattern reads as structure rather than print. Beneath it a smooth slip in a contrasting tonal base does the work of color. The two layers register together when the light falls direct and separate when the wearer moves. A hidden side zip keeps the panels uninterrupted.
Worn to the spring outdoor lunch where the air is moving and the photographs happen between courses. A garden ceremony that runs late into a long afternoon. The check holds the pattern, the slip holds the tone, and the chima reads as two pieces of cloth doing one job.
Hand-finished in Seoul. Inspected and fitted in San Mateo.
