Samogwandae refers the dressing with embroidered insignia on the breast and the back of an official round-collar robe, angled belt, courtesy helmet, and glittering boot. Samogwandae was a regular official dress of feudal officials and later became a man's wedding dress in the latter half of the feudal Joson dynasty.
The conversion of this Samogwandae into the wedding dress was related to the social climate of the period when men regarded it as their 'lifelong desire' and the 'advancement in life' to pass the state examinations, hold an official position, and wear Samogwandae.
Therefore the men's Samogwandae became the only uniform of the wedding. The sequence of Samogwandae was as follows; he firstly wore trouser, then robe with a black-blue silk tapestry, and embroidered insignia with one or two cranes on the breast, courtesy belt at waist that showed the official position, courtesy helmet, and black boot.
Chilbodanjang refers the bride's clothes with headpiece decorated with seven treasures, and the ceremonial dress. The word of Chilbo (seven treasures) refers gold, silver, glass, clam, agate, amber and coral, and the bride's headpiece was decorated with such seven treasures. It was generally used to refer the very elegant and brilliant dressing.
The custom of wearing Chilbodanjang was generalized in the late 18th century when women were wearing headpiece on their chignon and headpiece decorated with seven treasures became the courtesy helmet in the wedding ceremonial.
