"Late 19th century. Quilted orange-yellow silk with cotton lining. This is a woman's yellow bodiced jacket, with either purple or dark blue lapels, cuffs, and tying ribbons. It is worn with a blue skirt. The ensemble was formal attire for ladies (Kim, 1988b: 279). Another feature is the triangular armpit gusset, which extends to part of the sleeve and the bodice. It matches colors of the collar, the cuffs, and the ribbons. Hough states that the jacket is "worn by women in the spring," but quilted clothing is customarily for winter use. For an identical type of yellow quilted jacket see HUM ('Hanguk ui mi' or Beauty of Korea), 1988: 35, illustration number 46; Jang, 1999: 167, illustration number 185. Bernadou Field Notes 137 "... quilted jacket as worn by young women. [Itl is the same garment as the tjuk-sam ljeoksam], and takes its place." Collected in Seoul.
