Women's vintage, komon kimono - creme colored crepe silk with printed foliage, floral and fan design
This listing is for the kimono seen in the photographs. Please note that kimono do not have belts or loops for belts.
This beautiful, vintage kimono is in excellent condition and I do not believe that it has ever been worn. The exterior is in very good to excellent condition however it has some flaws. The interior lining is in perfect condition. I do not see any stains or flaws on the lining. Please read the description carefully to learn about the flaws seen on the exterior of the kimono.
The exterior of this kimono was created out of a crepe silk with a dyed pattern of chrysanthemums (kiku), maple leaves (acer) fans, pines, bamboo, vases and other designs over a pale crème or golden beige colored background. The designs are printed in colors of blue, golden-brown, forest green, white, pink- brown and burgundy. Many of the design have metallic, gold colored accents. These golden accents give the kimono a slight shimmer when the light reflects off these areas. The light to medium weight, crepe silk has a wonderful smooth (but not slippery) texture, slight sheen and wonderful drape. It also resists wrinkles.
**The dye that was used to create the colors on the kimono bled when it was printed. This makes the outlines of the patterns a little "fuzzy". This is seen throughout the entire kimono. This is difficult to notice unless you are closer to the kimono. Some examples of this dye-bleeding can be seen in the top and bottom left photos in the in the 8th picture.
Also note that the right sleeve has some areas of dirt near the back sleeve opening. This can be seen in the right photo in the 8th picture. The black arrows are pointing to these two areas. **
The last two photos show the color of the kimono most accurately. Crayola brand crayons were placed in the photos for color comparison. The exterior of the kimono (photo 10) and the lower lining of the kimono (photo 9) can be seen .
The kimono is fully lined. The upper lining is a medium weight, white colored fabric. I believe that the majority of the upper lining fabric is synthetic while the white fabric used to line the collar is silk. The lower lining is a medium weight, golden crème or pale apricot colored crepe silk that matches the exterior of the kimono.
Please read the dimensions to determine if you will find the size desirable for you.
*Length of kimono: about 60 inches (152.4 cm)
-kimono are folded when worn to adjust the length. For the majority of women the hem of this kimono may drag on the floor unless it is adjusted. Measure from your shoulder to your ankle. The difference between this number and 60 inches will be the amount that needs to be folded. For example: If you measure 50 inches from your shoulders to your ankles then 10 inches of the kimono will be needed to be folded to adjust the length. If you measure greater than 60 inches from your shoulders to your ankles than this kimono will be too short for you.
*Total width of kimono with sleeves: 49.5 inches ( 125.7 cm)
-Stand with your arms spread out and have a friend measure from one wrist, across your shoulders and to your other wrist. This will help determine where the sleeve will fall on your wrist.
*Length of sleeves(how far the sleeves fall): 19.5 inches (49.5 cm)
*width of kimono: 52.5 inches (133.4 cm)
- measure around your hips at the widest point. Subtract this number from 52.5 inches (133.4 cm). If the difference is about 16 inches (41cm) or greater than this kimono should fit you well. If the difference is about 10 inches (25cm) this kimono should still fit you but it may not overlap as much in the front. If the difference is 10 inches (25cm) or less than this kimono will not overlap enough in the front and will not fit you correctly. Of course, you can still wear it as an open robe or use it for decoration!
I believe that the pictures show a good representation of the fabric colors however, please remember that colors may look different on your monitor. This is a vintage item so there may be small blemishes or marks others than those noted in the description. This item has been stored for many years so there may be a slight storage smell although I do not notice one. Items can be hung in the shade to remove odor. Dry cleaning is recommended.
*I am always willing to provide more information or pictures regarding items. Please do not hesitate to send me a convo if you have any questions.*
