I didn't realize that upper-class women went outside veiled in Joseon Korean!

More like a wrap/shawl, that's like a huge skirt your drape over your head and either pull 1) across your face or 2) under your chin, instead of a veil that goes specifically over the face. Damn, much easier with drawings. 쓰게치마 is the word. Over-skirt, in direct translation.

:D

The little daggers were made out of silver, so helluva uneffective I guess. Though better that they were supposed to be for "defense", rather than you off yourself.
:D
