This dress makes the aged impression of the mural paintings.
Although both dress and jacket are originally from the west, they are representing the image of the Korean ancient mural paintings in this design. The historicity of the mural paintings is represented by knitting of the cloth-pieces and different brightness of the main colour. The threads are getting darker upper part of the dress to emphasize its slim silhouette, and the division lines and the direction of the knitting are not regular to emphasize the natural impression. The inner dress is made by machine knitting with bright colored threads to make up the main dress color. Only some representative patterns of the mural painting are applied on the dress. Especially, big and simple patterns such as mountain are applied on the jacket. Its colour is yellowish green gradation.
