I'm in love too at how accessible the hanbok makes breastfeeding!
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking for a more traditional Hanbok, then you may want to consider the Gwanbok. This type of Hanbok is usually made from a heavier fabric, and it is often decorated with embroidery or other embellishments. The Gwanbok is typically worn with a pair of pants called the Gwanbok-Chima.
