Artist's Comments

It has been a very long time since I posted a Kimono, and this one turned out to be better than I could have possibly hoped.

Materials:

- French Chiffon Sari with extensive embroidery
- Embroidery done in Rayon Thread

Details:

- One Size fits most
- Embroidery covers entire garment
- Long sleeves in traditional style
- Rolled hems so there are no fraying seams
- Pleated at the shoulders so that the garment will drape well

As usual, comments and critiques are welcomed and encouraged.

Wow it's beautiful :) I guess it's your own creation and doesn't belong to a specific country like Japan or India?

Thank you!

Yes, it is my own mix of all kinds of things. I took an Indian Sari, and made the Kimono to have some very traditional things on it, like the way the sleeves are attached (Japan), with a Chinese approach to the actual way the sleeves work (kitten smuggling sleeves), but with a slight change to the sleeve to show off all the lovely embroidery on the bottom, along with the pleats (mine) and the front part (European Coats). It's very much a mix of everything to make a garment that I like the visual of.

There's a reason my imprint is Pan-Gaia Designs: I couldn't make up my mind about one style! *grin*

Wow you've put so much thought and devotion into it :) The result turned out so good too! You should post pics of a rl model wearing it :)

Most assuredly. The only reason I use the dummy is because pics with a dummy are still a million times better than no pics at all! Thank you!

The fabric is just amazing, and the cut of the kimono really highlights it well.
