Some items may have seams on the sides or back, or have a little extra fabric. I am a complete amateur when it comes to tailoring, so I'm sorry, but I cannot answer questions about alterations or tailoring. The extra fabric is shown in the images. Please check them. The display method may be incorrect. If there are any points you can point out, please comment. I will reconfirm that part and reply. Please understand. Thank you. I believe it is silk or cotton. It is a relatively thin,紬 (tsumugi)-like material. It has a stylish, unique dye and shibori. How about for wearing, arranging, or remaking? Although there is almost no feeling of wear, it is a slightly older item. It has been stored for a long time. There may be a slight storage odor. If you are concerned, please air it out in the shade. There is a crease in the center. Please understand. Other than that, I did not find any noticeable large scratches or damage. Please forgive any overlooked stains. It is a retro antique item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection. It is a serious item that has passed through time. There are creases and folds. Please understand. Shipping method is regular mail or Yu-Pack. Please take a good look at the images and consider. Thank you.
