Kimono dress gown and string belt upcycled from Genuine vintage Japanese kimono

This dress gown is made of a vintage silk kimono 振袖 furisode.

This fabric is called "shibori" 絞り
Kimonos are dyed and embroidered using a variety of techniques, one of which is the “tie-dyeing” technique.
This is a technique in which fabrics are dyed by binding them with threads or sandwiched with a device to prevent dyeing, and then dyed with dyestuffs to create complex patterns.

With gold thread embroidery: Kinkomashishu 金駒刺繍 is a technique in which thick gold thread, which would not pass through a needle hole, is wound around a wooden piece, rolled along the pattern, and sewn onto the cloth with fine thread.
Kinkomashishu is one of the traditional Japanese embroidery techniques used with yuzen dyeing and other techniques, and is especially known for being applied to furisode (long-sleeved kimono) and high-class kimonos. It has a delicate and unique beauty.

I want to propose a style in which a vintage kimono is worn like a beautiful coat.

I and the sewing team upcycled this kimono piece.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece created by a small team of handmade artists.
Kimono gowns were hand-sewn and tailored. It took a very long time.(Belt is machine-sewn)

I carefully handpicked this kimono piece, which is in very good condition for a vintage garment.
