$245 to $355 · quoted in consultation
A cheollik in deep midnight blue, the chima panel printed with a small constellation pattern. The bodice is held solid for contrast. The name reads as night sky. Mid-weight cotton blend, lined bodice.
Night sky. In hanbok.
Occasion
An evening event held in winter. A formal December wedding where the dress code reads black tie. The cheollik for the photograph taken under chandeliers, the print catching light like glass.
The story
The night sky as a textile motif is a contemporary atelier reading. Traditional Korean dress used celestial imagery in court robes, dragons among clouds, cranes against moons, but the printed star field is newer. The Bamhaneul reads as a quiet 21st-century gesture toward an old visual instinct.
The midnight blue base holds the constellation print across the chima panel, the bodice kept solid for a clean contrast. The print is fine enough to read as texture from across a room and as stars up close. The cotton blend takes the print exact, the bodice is lined for structure, the side zip stays hidden. The pleats hold through a long evening.
Worn to the December wedding held at the hotel ballroom. The cheollik enters under the chandeliers and the print catches every light source. The aunt who studied astronomy reads the constellation pattern as Orion and says so. The grandmother reads it as a long blue dress and nods. The cheollik holds both readings at once.
Hand-finished in Seoul. Inspected and fitted in San Mateo.
