This DIY kimono fabric is an unused tacked-together unfinished Tomesode kimono without any lining- basically a bolt of tomesode fabric that has been tacked together to show a potential buyer how the kimono will look when finally assembled to fit the buyer. It is being sold here as fabric but unlike a bolt of fabric it is cut into the pieces and tacked together so that you may better know how to reassemble this into a finished kimono. This is a beautiful handpainted silk Japanese Tomesode Kimono pre-cut-bolt. It is a traditional black crepe silk with a lovely design of handpainted fans featuring a multitude of flowers including sakura, peony, maple leaves and other traditional flowers lavishly hand-painted across the lower body. The spaces for the 5 mon and artist signature are unfinished and white. The fabric is in excellent unused condition. It is being sold for making into a finished kimono for wearing or for making great clothing, pillows, home decor, etc. Tomesode are lavishly decorated black kimono traditionally worn as formal kimono by married women -they are often worn by the female relatives of the bride (and groom these days) at weddings.
Size differences among kimono are minimal. They have all been made from a standard length of fabric--a tan--about 12 -15 yards long and 14 or 15 inches wide. ..the longer 15 yd deals tans being for furisode.

A brand new silk kimono like this can cost as much as a new car, being a vast amount of silk, with hand applied textile art and being entirely hand tailored, so a vintage one is a real bargain and they are often in virtually perfect condition or, if flawed, with minor, inconspicuous flaws. These kimonos or haoris are Recycled Vintage or Antique items and may have small stains, age spots or other spots that I haven't foundor mentioned. I have not dry cleaned them unless stated, so if this would be an issue for you then please understand that these are NOT new before purchasing. Truly a bargain.. but they may have small stains and other minor issues, though I choose the absolute best I can find for you!
