This study is the investigation of dressing the deceased Kings and the King's robes in the coffin in the Yi Dynasty of Korea. The Authentic Records of the Yi Dynasty and the Diaries of Sung Jung Won (承政院日記) are mainly referred to as the research materials. The Concrete contents are the robes of the 20th King Kyung long (景宗 : $1720{\sim}1724$) to the 23rd King Soon Cho(純祖 : $1800{\sim}1834) in the Yi Dynasty. As the result of the study, the kinds of the robes in dressing the decreased Kings and the Kings' robes in the coffin are more than forty. The kinds of textile fabrics are about fifty-seven, the kinds of colours of textile fabrics are twenty-nine. All the kinds of costume-from the Kings' ceremonial robes to the Kings' ordinary robes are generally collected, and these kinds of costume are of help for the study of the costume history in the Yi Dynasty. In this study I intend to end in presenting the research materials, and in the later study I have a mind to study each costume in the concrete.
