This is a gathered skirt made from a kimono of genuine silk Oshima Tsumugi. * I apologize for the poor photos. Buyers often say, "It's much more beautiful in person." * Please see the images for the size. Please allow for some error. Hemming is free. (It can be made shorter than the listed length, but not longer.) * The waist is fully elastic. You'll be fine in winter if you layer with warm tights or other undergarments. * Please understand that this is a handmade item, not a perfect ready-made product, and I appreciate your understanding.
