Chima - Chima

Japanese: チマ - ちま
Chima - Chima

A skirt worn by women in Korean traditional clothing. It is a long wrap skirt that reaches from the chest to the ankles and is worn in combination with a short jacket called a chogori. It is made by sewing together a piece of fabric about 1.5 times the width of the chima, attaching a string to the top, pleating it, and sewing it down. It is common to wear a sokchima (inner skirt) or a tansokotsu (single-layered undergarment) similar to hakama (Japanese trousers) underneath as underwear. Cotton, white silk, and patterned fabrics such as donsu are used for the fabric, and it was mostly plain, but in recent years, with the introduction of Western clothing techniques, various changes in colors and patterns have appeared.

朝鮮民族服の女性のスカートのこと。チョゴリという短い上着と組み合わせて着用する胸からくるぶしまでの丈長の巻きスカートで、チマの身幅の1.5倍くらいの幅に布をはぎ合わせ、その上部に紐(ひも)をつけ、ひだづけして縫い縮めたもの。その内側には下着としてソクチマ(内裳)、または袴(はかま)に似たタンソコツ(単襯衣)をつけるのが一般である。布地には綿、白絹のほか、緞子(どんす)などの紋織が用いられ、無地が多かったが、近来は洋装技術の導入とともに、色柄にもさまざまな変化が現れてきている。
