linkChogori and Ch'imaChogori for females have changed over time more than those for males. The earliest versions went all the way to the hips and were tied at the waist. By the late
Chosun Dynasty (1392-1910), they only went as far as the arm pits, with a longer front panel to cover the breasts.
Dongchong (detachable paper collars) help accent the woman's neck. Like the men's version, they are tied across the chest in front with a bow.
The
ch'ima is a rectangular or tubular skirt with a high, pleated waistband. It is tied above the breasts with long sashes. By flowing over the rest of the body, it completely hides the female shape, strongly influenced by the Confucian society. Like the wide-legged
paji for males, the billowing
ch'ima allows a great deal of freedom for squatting, the preferred position when doing most household chores.
