Wonsam, Women's Ceremonial Robe

Gyeonggi Province Museum

Gyeonggi Province Museum
Yongin-si, South Korea

It is an artifact verified to be a Dallyeong-type Wonsam of the latest period. The round neckline of this Wonsam is the shape of the Wonsam of the early Joseon Dynasty, but it also exhibits the characteristics of the Wonsam of the late Joseon Dynasty, such as the Saekdong (multicolor) and Hansam attached on the end of the wide sleeve, and the vanished crease on the side opening. The outer fabric of the Wonsam used a dense and thin fabric with phoenix and peony patterns, and the sleeve used a fine silk with flower patterns. This robe was worn as a shroud, and a large sash was wrapped in a Dongsimgyeol knot.
