This was made from a tsumugi kimono that was unpicked, washed, and ironed. Tsumugi is a sturdy material, perfect for everyday wear. The color is similar to mustard yellow, a classic Japanese color. The pattern is somewhat understated, but it has a beautiful sheen that appears depending on the light. The wide waistband will make your legs look longer. ◎ The waist elastic is 1.5cm wide and approximately 68cm long. ※ Due to the construction, the opening for the elastic in the waist is closed, but I can adjust it if you wish. The width when the elastic is fully stretched is approximately 50cm when laid flat. ◎ Waistband length: approximately 183cm As this is a vintage kimono, there may be some stains or holes from being unpicked. There are no major flaws overall, but please understand this before purchasing. This is a handmade item, so there may be some imperfections. Please understand. Thank you for looking.
