Chima jeogori ({{Korean|hangul=치마저고리}}) refers to a traditional outfit for Korean women, which consists of a chima skirt and jeogori top. It is not a national costume per se, but a form of hanbok, the traditional Korean form of dress. Similarly, men wear baji jeogori: baji (baggy pants) and jeogori.
History
At the end of the 19th century, the tongchima (통치마), seamless one-piece short skirt, came out for convenience. School girls used to wear a white jeogori and a black tongchima in modern educational institutions. This fashion gradually faded out in South Korea while revived and continues in North Korea.An illustrated guide to Korean culture : 233 traditional key words.

In Japan, some ethnic Korean minority schools use a girls' uniform that is based on tongchima. This form of chima jeogori is modified into white shirt and shorter ankle length black or blue dress. {{citation needed|reason=From May to June 1994, schoolgirls in such uniforms became the targets for verbal abuse and threats, and their uniforms were slashed.|date=June 2014}}
The uniforms sometimes made them target for hate crimes. Children wearing them were sometimes beaten, insulted, or even had their {{Ill|Chima jeogori tearing attacks in Japan|lt=skirts slashed with knives|ja|チマチョゴリ切り裂き事件}}. This led to schools eventually issuing two sets of uniforms: a chima jeogori for inside the school, and more typical blazers and skirts for outside the school ({{Langx|ja|第2制服|lit=second uniform}}).{{Cite journal |last=Lee |first=Youngho |date=2021 |title=Ethnic Education and Multicultural Coexistence in Zainichi Korean Literature: On Che Sil's Jini no pazuru |url=https://s-space.snu.ac.kr/bitstream/10371/175006/1/01_LEE%20Youngho.pdf |journal=Seoul Journal of Japanese Studies |volume=7 |issue=1 |pages=14}}{{Cite book |last1=Higaki |first1=Shinji |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AHETEAAAQBAJ&dq=il+song+nakamura+zanichi&pg=PA257 |title=Hate Speech in Japan: The Possibility of a Non-Regulatory Approach |last2=Nasu |first2=Yuji |date=2021-01-28 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-108-61549-5 |pages=267–268 |language=en}}
