So, as the title says, I have a report coming up and now is in desperate need of help. I have already searched the internet about Korea and got a few information that could be included in my report.We were given guide questions for us to know what to put in our report. Now the problem is, there are still lots of questions left unanswered and I can't find it on the internet. Maybe i just haven't put the right keywords but I'm almost giving up. GUIDE QUESTIONS: 1. A brief history on Korea that had an effect on their clothing and lifestyle.---need more answers to this question. 2.What influenced their way of living or how they perceived their status in society? 3.What are the important terminologies? (ex. important people, clothing. techniques, etc.) 4.What re the common fabrics used? 5.What are the features? (ex. tight-fitting/long sleeved/ funny dangly bit) 6.How were they constructed? (ex. rectangles pieced together, lots of tailoring) 7.What materials were they made from? (ex. wool, woven silk) 8.What decoration did they have? (ex. gold embroidery, tablet weaving) I also need the source so please kindly put it. Thank you in advance for those who are willing to help me with these questions.

Koreans live in a mountainous area. Most part of their history were only recorded in China. Their clothing and lifestyle is affected by their geological location and temperature of the area. Of course, in order to put distinction between common folks to aristocrats each has a different type of clothing made of certain materials depending on their social status... I think I have to research more on this on my history books. I am not very fond of Korea thus my limit in knowledge. Sorry.
