The dapho was over robes from the late Goryeo to the late Joseon dynasty.[2] During this period, the dapho was worn over the cheollik.[2] The dapho was also worn together with the government's official's danryeong.[4][1] The dapho is worn first followed by the danryeong.[1]

The short sleeved dapho disappeared from the 1630s.[2]

In the 17th century, the sleeveless dapho was worn over the cheollik by the Joseon kings and by civil and military officials.[3] It was also used as a form as of jeonbok (戰服) since the middle of the Joseon period.[1]

In the 18th century, the sleevleess dapho with side gores appeared for a while.[2]

From the latter half of the 19th century, the sleeveless dapho which looked similar to the changui (a form of royal robe) in shape began to appear.[2] In King Gojong era, the dapho was worn as a daily formal clothing along with the durumagi.[2]
