Many court nobles in various colored kimonos are beautifully depicted. It's a wonderful black formal kimono. The waist is elastic, making it free-size. The fourth tier of short shirring has been removed because it would have narrowed the flare. The length is 75 cm, a midi length. The hip and hem circumference are 134 cm.
