A fabulous, blue tsukesage kimono, with vertical bands of monochrome flowers.
Synthetic fabric, so has the boon of being gently hand washable
A tsukesage kimono. Tsukesage are visiting wear kimonos. The pattern flows around the bottom, is on one sleeve at the back and the other at the front and sometimes on one shoulder too. The pattern does not flow over the seams. They are more formal than iro muji and komon kimonos but less formal than houmongi or tomesodes
An awase (lined) kimono. 
Can be gently hand washed and machine spun, then hung to dry. Do not rub surface or leave to soak. Use a cool iron, with a damp cloth between iron and fabric

To judge fit on you...
Check height:  Women can choose kimono that are longer than their height, as any excess material is then traditionally folded over at the waist (see below)
Check width: A kimono with a width that is at least 16” (40cm) greater than your hip size will fit perfectly, although if the width of the kimono is not at least 10” (25cm) greater than your hip size, your legs may be visible as you walk, there’s nothing wrong with that of course, but it’s not the traditional way
Adjusting the Length the traditional way
Pull up your kimono until the bottom reaches the correct length, then tie it in place round your waist with a ribbon or a koshi himo (kimono tie). Fold the excess material down over the tie. This fold-over is called ohashiori and is always present on women's kimonos. Fasten an obi or wide belt or sash around the waist, over the top of the folded over fabric, which usually shows below
