⚫︎ Upcycled Vintage Kimono Remake: Frill Scarf ⚫︎ Material The material is unknown as I purchased the vintage kimono. It's thin, soft, and supple to the touch, similar to a typical scarf. I suspect it might be polyester (subjective). ⚫︎ Usage I hand-washed the vintage kimono at home to remove any stains before repurposing it into clothing. It has only been tried on after completion. Please purchase only if you understand that the original material is vintage kimono, vintage fabric, vintage, or antique. ⚫︎ Tears or Holes ① In the solid pink part, there are some stains on the fold lines from the original sewing of the kimono. There are no holes, moth-eaten areas, or large stains that would make it unwearable. I've included images of the stained areas. ② The fabric with the floral pattern has some damaged areas where the fabric is weak. These are the areas pointed out in the images. ⚫︎ Design Points It has a gentle color scheme of pale pink and white, perfect for spring. The floral patterns appear to be plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, and autumn leaves, but I'm not an expert on plants, so please check the images. It's reversible. It's not a rectangular or square shape like a typical scarf. It's shaped like a shawl to be worn over the shoulders. ⚫︎ Basic Styling ① Place the middle of the fabric at the back of your neck, over your shoulders. ② The ends will hang down. Fasten them with a brooch, tie them in a bow, tie a single knot, or style them as you like. ⚫︎ Arrangements You can tie it asymmetrically, tie it higher up around your neck, or tie it at your chest... as you prefer. The kimono patterns vary depending on the location. You can bring out your favorite patterns, or change the position depending on your mood. You can enjoy various styles!
