Dallyeong, Official Robe(Reproduced)

Gyeonggi Province Museum

Gyeonggi Province Museum
Yongin-si, South Korea

It is made of cloud-patterned silk, and is presumed to have been a dark blue, but it has lost its original color because it was left for a long time inside a grave, and only has traces of blue left. It has a 'Woonhak (cloud and crane) Hyungbae', horizontal 36cm and vertical 37.5cm, attached to the chest and back of the Dallyeong. The crane pattern of the Hyungbae appeared in early 17th century and was used as a Hyungbae for civil officials until the 1900s, when the Dallyeong attire was discontinued. The sleeve has a wide breadth, and as both the front and back armpit garment were held to attach an external coat string, the armpit garment heads backward naturally. This can be seen as the transitional characteristic of the 18th century when the armpit garment of the side hem was yet to be completely attached to the back.
