This dress was made from a beautiful, clean Oshima Tsumugi silk kimono that was unpicked, washed, and ironed. The black background features small flowers in red, orange, and a yellowish-brown that appears gold in the light. Green leaves are drawn in a flowing pattern, creating a delicate design. This has been transformed into a very refined and elegant gathered dress. The skirt length is a slightly long, maxi length. The double-layered sleeve ruffles are made more generously than usual, with added length for an elegant touch. The high-waisted gathers create beautiful shadows, highlighting the luster unique to Oshima Tsumugi silk. This dress exudes a very feminine and gentle atmosphere, whether the ribbon is tied or left undone. The fabric has a moderate thickness, is supple, and feels very soft against the skin. It's made relatively loose, so you can wear a sweater or warm, fluffy undergarments underneath and still look elegant (＾ー^) Please check the size carefully. ◎ Waist ribbon length: Approximately 203cm Although it was a beautiful kimono, it is old, so there may be oversights regarding smells, stains, or damage. We appreciate your understanding. As this is a handmade item, there may be imperfections. Please forgive any shortcomings. A lovely, one-of-a-kind dress. We hope someone will love it. Thank you for looking.
