Hanbok Sizing Guide

Choosing the right hanbok size can feel tricky, especially when Korean sizing differs from U.S. standards. At Luna Hanbok Story, we’re here to make it simple so you can focus on celebrating your special moment in style 👘✨

Whether you’re preparing for a 100-day celebration (백일), first birthday (돌잔치), photoshoot, or cultural event, this guide will help you find your best fit with confidence.


Korean hanbok sizing is based on body proportions and height, not just standard U.S. sizes.

📌 Important Notes:

✨ Korean sizes typically run smaller than U.S. sizes
📐 U.S. size equivalents are approximate guides only
🎯 For the best fit, always prioritize measurements in inches
👘 Hanboks are designed with adjustable ties and flexible silhouettes

Because of this, hanbok can fit a range of body types beautifully while maintaining its elegant, flowing look.


Perfect for 100-day (백일) and first birthday (돌잔치) celebrations 💛
