The bride's coat, known in Korea as wônsam, would normally be worn over a green jacket, red skirt and an underskirt. The striking pattern of the sleeves is seen to best effect when the bride holds her hands together at breast height in a gesture of respect. The unusual shape of this garment, with its short front and long back, and its exaggerated sleeves, can be traced back to Chinese influence on Korean ceremonial dress more than 1000 years ago.
