Violas on Peach Silk Japanese Kimono
  • A very lovely peach-orange silk kimono with purple violas. It has been hard to capture the colours accurately in the pictures
  • Entirely hand tailored, like most quality kimonos
  • Awase (fully lined) kimono. 
  • Colour: Please be aware that different monitors display colour slightly differently. Therefore the colour in the photos and description is a guide only


Condition:
Excellent


Measurements approximately:

Sleeve end to sleeve end 129cm

Sleeve seam to sleeve seam 58cm

Length 157cm

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

Being wrap-over garments, you adjust the tightness by the amount you wrap over the fronts, always left over right on both men and women

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
