I unraveled a Meisen silk haori and made a long skirt. The original haori was in very good condition with basting stitches still attached. (Photos 13-16) Since Meisen silk can fade when washed with water, I only performed high-temperature sterilization with an iron. The floral pattern, based on pink, is a unique design typical of Meisen silk. The fabric has a moderate thickness and a lovely characteristic sheen and crispness. I added three long tucks each in the front and back to control the volume. Although it has plenty of gathers, the tucks make the waist and hip area look neat. I enjoy sewing that only uses straight stitches. I remake old kimonos, obi sashes, and furoshiki cloths such as Tsumugi, Meisen, and Komon. Please consider this if you understand that there may be remaining threads, small holes, stains from used items, distortions, double stitching, etc. * Please avoid washing as much as possible. After wearing, hang it on a hanger and let it breathe. * Items other than the skirt are for photography purposes. * No lining is attached. Please use a petticoat when wearing. Material: Believed to be silk Size Skirt length: Approximately 80cm Waist Designed for free size with a 2cm wide elastic band.
