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

This dress gown is made of a vintage silk kimono.

I would suggest a style that you wear a Vintage kimono as you would wear a trench 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.

*Small black spot on back and right sleeve(Less than 2mm) Please see the last pic.
*Original kimono : Dating is contemporary.

*Please understand that there may be stains and slight damage common in vintage fabrics as all of our clothes are made by either partial or full disassembly of the original kimono.

*Kimonos can be broadly divided into two fabrics types. 
They are "yarn-dyed kimonos" = "ORI"  and  "post-dyed kimonos" = "SOME".

Yarn-dyed fabrics”ORI” are fabrics that are dyed and woven while the threads are still in the yarn. 
Typical examples are "tsumugi", “omeshi”, and "cotton kasuri".
Tsumugi is especially popular among modern Japanese people, and many fabrics have simple designs.
Post-dyed kimonos”SOME” refers to kimono woven with white threads without dyeing, to which "komon dyeing," "Bingata dyeing," "Yuzen dyeing," and other processes are applied.
I feel that the kimono that people overseas imagine is like a “SOME” kimono.

This is a fabric called “紬 Tsumugi"

[Care] Dry clean.
