In Korea, the upper garment of Korean traditional clothes;Jeogori have gotten shorter and shorter during Chosun dynasty. The news reported the Jeogoris have gotten shorter and shorter. The modern Jeogoris are 2/3 times shorter than the Jeorigis from the 17th century. In addition, the side panel has gotten fewer and fewer curves. So the women at Chosun dynasty had shown their breasts between the late 18th century to mid 20th century. They choose to wear this kind of clothes because it was comfortable to wear, also because of hot and humid weather. When they went out of their house, they wore big clothing that could cover there body due to Confucianism. Consequently they didn't have to worry about others' eyes. In the mid 20th century, people started to get more civilized. Therefore, they did not wear Jeogoris anymore. These days, no one wears this obscene clothes. If someone wore it on the streets, you would see them on the news.
