I made a camisole dress by deconstructing an Oshima Tsumugi kimono. The original kimono was in beautiful condition, with the basting stitches still intact (photos 14-17). After deconstruction, I only sterilized it with a high-temperature iron. The dark navy color with red floral patterns is lovely. Small white flowers, stems, and leaves are drawn regularly, and the design is complex yet clean. The fabric has a sheen and the characteristic firmness of Oshima Tsumugi. I think it would look great worn over a skirt or pants. This time, I layered it over a black skirt. It has a very supple feel, and the texture allows it to be easily layered over sweaters or wool. I thought a ribbon tie would be too cute, so I fixed the straps with two strings. To prevent the overall silhouette from appearing bulky, I inserted a thin elastic only in the back yoke to create a clean look. The length from the top of the bib is about 78cm, so I've added a slit to improve leg movement (photo 2). Silk kimonos are very precious. Deconstructing a kimono is a lot of work, but it's wonderful to be able to enjoy the feel of Japanese fabric in everyday life. It's also a good point that you can enjoy the unique colors and combinations of Japan. I enjoy dressmaking as a hobby, specializing in straight stitching. I remake old kimonos like Tsumugi, Meisen, and Komon, as well as furoshiki (wrapping cloths). As it is handmade by an amateur, there may be thread holes, remaining threads, small scratches, and creases 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 breathe. ✳︎The camisole dress is the only item for sale.
