Fabric and details
A dress looser through the body than the cheollik, with a soft drop at the waist and a generous A-line.
Mid-weight crepe-blend, opaque and forgiving. No interfacing.
Occasion
Chuseok at the head of the table. A family reunion in October that runs from lunch to dinner. The Sunday meal where the host is also the cook and the photographer. The hours when the dress has to keep up with the day.
See the details.
Yeolmaedal translates as the harvest month, the part of the Korean year that holds the Chuseok table. The harvest dress is not the cheollik. The cheollik is for the photograph. The harvest dress is for the hours between the photograph, the hours when the host is moving plates and lifting a grandchild and pouring tea.
This piece is cut for those hours. The body runs looser than the cheollik. The waist drops a measure. The A-line gives room to sit cross-legged on the floor. A mid-weight crepe blend reads opaque under kitchen light and forgives the small accidents of a long meal.
