Women who are nursing children, and in general, among the lower classes, all except very young or quite old women, wear the ho-ri-tteui [heoritti] or girdle low so as to leave the breasts uncovered. When the girdle is very wide and the tjok-sam ljeoksam] or jacket laps over it, the breasts are not exposed. Among the better classes a short light jacket of silk, longer than the tjok-sam ljeoksaml, but caught in at the waist is worn over these; but this is not common." Collected in Seoul."
