I made a long camisole dress by deconstructing a Meisen kimono. The original kimono was in a beautiful condition, with no stains or damage. (Photos 13, 14, 15) Since Meisen may fade when washed with water, after unraveling the kimono, I only disinfected it with a high-temperature iron. The regular pattern drawn in crimson on a beige background is beautiful. The large diamond shapes create a unique design. Perhaps thanks to the yellow accents in the center of the pattern, the design doesn't feel old. The luster unique to Meisen is also wonderful. To prevent the overall silhouette from appearing bulky, I've inserted thin elastic only in the back yoke to create a clean look. The length from the top of the chest panel is about 92cm, so I've added a slit to improve leg movement. (Photo 3) Kimono made of silk is very precious. It's a lot of work to unravel a kimono, but it's wonderful to be able to enjoy the feel of Japanese fabric in everyday life. It's also a good point to be able to enjoy the unique colors and combinations of Japan. I enjoy dressmaking as a hobby, specializing in straight stitching. I upcycle old kimonos like Tsumugi, Meisen, Komon, and furoshiki (wrapping cloths). As it's handmade by an amateur, there may be needle holes, remaining threads, small scratches, and fold lines that cannot be removed by ironing. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. ✳︎Please avoid washing as much as possible, and after wearing, hang it on a hanger and let it air out. ✳︎There is no lining, so please wear a petticoat or something similar. ✳︎Items other than the camisole dress are for photography purposes only.
