This fantastic black kimono ensemble I made from the real very formal Japanese tomesode with hand painted flowers and phoenix. The pattern is rich and exquisite, decorated with embroidered shining silver threads. I don't have other vintage kimono like this so it’s absolutely impossible to reiterate presented doll kimono. It is only one on the world.
The silvery obi is made from real obi. It's pretied obi so it is easy to put on. Obi has Sunrise Drum bow for ceremonial and formal wear. Additional white rose decoration you can put on or remove it if you want.
My kimonos are vintage. All materials I'm using are authentic vintage kimono fabrics from Japan. Obi are made from real obi, obiage are made from real obiage. Obijime is hand braided using Japanese kumihimo braiding disc.
The kimono set is demonstrated on 68 cm doll (Scout/Granado). It fits 74~63 cm boy and girl dolls perfectly: SD, SD16, SD17, Luts SSD, Iplehouse EID and SID, other large BJD. For smaller dolls to adjust the length make a fold on the waist (under the obi). Don't worry - this is a traditional way of kimono wearing.
For me it takes few weeks or even a month to create a kimono set for the doll. So I have just few items to sell. I think they are some kind of beautiful art, not just ordinary things to sell.
Your works are REALLY wonderful! I'm ot only amazed by your crafty skills of making these beautiful outfits but also your ability to present it in such a tasteful artistic way! Keep up the amazing job!
Thank you very much dear Flower-maker I think the large part of your adoration goes to the Japanese kimono painting artist who created that beautiful pattern first. My job was to give second life for this beautiful old kimono. I'm happy I was able to do that successfully.

I adore hand-painted kimono. And I like the look of the formal kimono. They seem very sophisticated.
