There has historically been a lot of cultural exchange between China and the various other East Asian states: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_cultural_sphere
So part of this would have likely involved dresses and other form of clothing. I don't know much about specifically Korean-Chinese relations, but with Japan for example, they imported in the writing system, certain religious practices, and it's theorized that the katana is descended from a type of Dao sword imported from China.
Yeah, I thought the same thing. To my (totally inexpert) eye, it looks similar to what would happen if you wore the shirt part of the traditional Korean dress under the waistband of the skirt instead of the other way around, and wore fewer petticoats so the skirt wasn't so full.
I really don't know a lot about this, but Fig 6 reminds me of what I've seen of some traditional Korean dress. Anyone know if there's any relation?

I thought that about Fig 15 when China was conquered by Manchurians. I think that's just the colors tho, pink & purple make me think Korea instantly.
