Buy the 141 Adult/Child Korean Han-bok sewing pattern from Folkwear. The traditional costume of Korea, the han-bok is composed of two garments: the chogori (short jacket) and chima (full dress). The wrap dress drapes gracefully, and the jacket's ribbon-accented V-neck draws attention to the face. Wear both components of the han-bok in the traditional way, the dress alone as a summery sundress, or the jacket as a companion to a simple dress or tunic.
The simple-sew dress is pleated to a band above the bust, wraps in back, and ties in front. The jacket has elegantly shaped sleeves, wide cuff bands, and narrow ribbon trim along the neckline. It crosses in front and ties in a single-knot bow.
Note the bows on some of the models are not tied in the traditional and correct manner. The correct bow tie is to have a single loop and one longer tail on the tie.
