Furisode(振袖) One-Shoulder Dress (SKY BLUE)

This kimono once a Furisode(振袖) kimono.
Furisode(振袖) is worn for unmarried lady's.
Bloom peony flowers and butterfly print on the pine tree silk jacquard.
This glossy silk with pine tree jacquard is pretty rare these days.
So I think this one maybe semi-vintage kimono.
And some of the butterflies are gild a trim with gold leaf.
I put crystals as a finish on this dress.

Apply black Ribbon Belt to accentuate the dress.
This Ribbon Belt made of mourning silk OBI(帯).

This kimono must be very expensive when it's tailored as a KIMONO.
Kimono print is always asymmetry.
The cuff buttons are SWAROVSKI.



Furisode(振袖) One-Shoulder Dress (PINK)

This kimono once a Furisode(振袖) kimono.
Chrysanthemum and pink gradation leaves print is vivid and unusual.
Soft texture silk with water current jacquard has a lively expression.
Luckily, I found OBI(帯) for belt,which color suits for this dress.
It's pink and seems pretty but still sexy one-shoulder style.
I will coordinate with something small metal gold clutch bag, gold earrings and gold sandal.
Must be very gorgeous❤

Close up Pictures of cuff and Ribbon Belt.
These buttons are SWAROVSKI.
Japanese embroidery gild a trim on the hem chrysanthemum print.
I still have been looking for gorgeous vintage kimonos.

Vintage Jyuban(襦袢) One-Shoulder Dress

This Kimono was once a Jyuban(襦袢).
Jyuban(襦袢) is worn between kimono and underwear.
Luckily this one was very good condition.
Also this texture is perfect❤
Kind of silk satin and very very soft fabric.
For design,I always LOVE one-shoulder style.
Many celeb wear one-shoulder dress on the red-carpet these days.
I wish somebody would wear my dress.






The other highlights are Ribbon Belt and SWAROVSKI button.
The Belt is a bit flexible size and you can use it for your style.
SWAROVSKI buttons are still tiny but radiantly.

This print probably arranged chrysanthemum.
Also this fresh orange color is very unusual for kimono.

This dress is absolutely one of my masterpiece.
