👣 Step-by-Step: Dressing Your Baby in Hanbok
👦 Baby Boys
1️⃣ Start with a soft inner layer (bodysuit or undershirt) for comfort
2️⃣ Put on the baji (pants) and adjust the waistband for a secure but gentle fit
3️⃣ Layer the jeogori (top) over the shoulders like a jacket
4️⃣ Tie the ribbons:
• Inner tie first (right side)
• Outer tie over (left over right)
5️⃣ Add the vest if included for a more formal look
6️⃣ Finish with the traditional headpiece
📸 Pro Tip: Let the pants sit slightly loose for that classic, puffy hanbok silhouette
👧 Baby Girls
1️⃣ Begin with a soft inner layer for comfort
2️⃣ Wrap the chima (skirt) high around the chest (signature hanbok style)
• Secure with Velcro or ribbon ties, depending on design
3️⃣ Layer the jeogori (top) and fasten the side ties
4️⃣ Adjust the goreum (decorative ribbon) neatly to the front
5️⃣ Add the headband or crown for a complete look
📸 Pro Tip: Gently spread the skirt when seated for a full, elegant shape in photos
