 
Every day children's clothes were designed to keep babies warm. Families dressed their child in bright
clothes and quilted socks for his or her first birthday
(Tol), a tradition that has continued to the present day.
The clothes for the dol include a cheonbok (long blue vest)
worn over a durumangi and a bokkeon
(black hat with a long tail). Words and symbols related to children were sewn onto the fabric. Originally,
the clothes were only for sons of the yangban class. Eventually, the custom and costume spread to
other classes and included daughters as well, but with a different style of clothing. |
