$245 to $355 · quoted in consultation
A cheollik in ivory and pale blue with a slight sheen at the chima. The name reads as first snow, the registration is the lightest in our snow-toned line. Mid-weight polyblend with a satin-touch finish, lined bodice.
First snow. In silk-touch.
Occasion
A winter wedding held indoors. The Christmas Eve service with the candle lit at the end of each pew. The photograph taken by the window after dinner, where the light reads cold and the dress reads warm.
The story
Cheotnun is the first snowfall of the year, the moment Korean households mark without ceremony. The word carries weight in the language. A first snow shifts the room. The cheollik built around the word holds the same weight without leaning on it.
The ivory base is warmed by a pale blue at the chima. The polyblend takes the satin-touch finish without losing the cheollik line, and the pleats break light differently than a matte silk would. The bodice is lined for structure, the side zip is hidden, the hem is finished by hand. The sheen reads quiet in low light and exact in flash.
Worn to the winter wedding held in the city, indoor, the heat turned up against the night. The photographer asks for one shot by the window. The light through the glass catches the chima and the dress reads as the moment outside, not the room behind. That is the photograph that goes in the album.
Hand-finished in Seoul. Inspected and fitted in San Mateo.
