Pyongyang, January 23 (KCNA) -- At an international meeting of women, a woman representative of a country termed the Korean chima (skirt) and jogori (jacket) a dress with clear national identity.

A figure of a Western country said that Korean women's chima and jogori are as charming as the clothes of fairies in legend.

The Korean chima and jogori, well known to the world for their peculiar beauty, constitute a prominent part of the excellent cultural heritage of the DPRK.

They are smart and elegant in their form, colour and pattern.

Jogori is short and skirt is long, so they present a marked contrast.

Despite such contrast, they look so comfortable for two sleeves in appropriate breadth and corresponding two breast-ties draping in stable balance.

Chima (long skirt), in natural harmony with short jogori, makes women look nice in their figure.

The breast-ties and neck band, made with white cloth, highlight the neatness and beauty of the Korean costume.

Along with the ever-developing costume-making technology, all the women of the DPRK love to wear them frequently.

The Korean chima and jogori custom was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage. -0-
