ohh purple hanbok haha i think my mom has one that color..what pattern i mostly see in korean hanboks is like patterns with like color or just nature related patterns...or is that just me haha XD.hmm purple and white would be a good color

White is traditional, but there aren't really many restrictions on modern hanbok colors nowadays; I think pretty much any tasteful color combination can work. I've seen some very pretty ones in dusty roses and mauves.

I found the Yang book pretty useless as far as telling me exactly how to *wear* hanbok - what exactly the correct undergarments look like, how to wear them, etc. - so I've relied on the things I've bought from Korea. The "petticoat" nowadays is like a one-piece slip with an empire bodice (not straps like the ch'ima) and a relatively stiff fabric for the skirt.

Koumori, any other book suggestions? I bought it while at the Seoul airport because it was pretty, and it has a lot of information. I was hoping it had more of a "how to wear" section in it, though... but the pictures are gorgeous.

Sadly, I haven't been able to find anything else in English. It took me forever to figure out that you're just supposed to loop that decorative tassel over the front tie. @.@ So I've been muddling through based on pictures and the pieces I've gotten from ebay, mostly.

i'm going to raid my bf's mother's closet of hanboks LOL LOL

i'll get her to teach me...maybe i'll put up an informative thread about how to wear hanboks and what not ^_^

You dont neccessarily have to be in it but I just want to see what itll look like. just curious. also Do girls like to wear their hair in the traditional style with the chopstick (hehe the jade stick thing) or hanbok and present day hairstyle?

I made this one for Seung Mina from SC3. She wears her hair in a ponytail. My hair's too short to put up.

If you want the knot on the shirt part in the front Ive seen my mom and sis do it using just a smple knot like when you tie a bow but with only one loop fold thingy. If you were in LA id tell you which store to go to get a great price on it but online I have no idea. I did visit a site once that was by like really exclusive designer in korea. hmm wonder if I can find it. maybe it can help you with ideas.

EDIT:

Found this one: it has english as well http://www.seoul88.com/

This one if you can read korean: http://www.hanboks.net/

Dang it sorry I lost the link to the designer. It wouldve been so much more helpful for you.

Koumori: That hanbok you made is freakin awesome. Thanx for showing me.

lainey · 07-12-2005, 07:27 AM

no the maedup is the knot on the norigae:

ooo...and how to do the hairstyle:

O_O

Koumori · 07-12-2005, 08:44 AM

I haven't seen a place to buy norigae separately (in English anyway), though sometimes they do turn up on ebay. My life in this regard would be much, much easier if I could read Korean, I suspect. You might even consider checking out books on macrame for the knots, as I'm sure I've seen those diamond-shaped knots elsewhere...

lainey · 07-12-2005, 04:36 PM

bleh i can only find things in korean..and even my fluent bf can't read korean very well -_-

must harass his mother...i hope that she'll know????
