Orange and white silk Shibori kimono with formal length sleeves- with large cloud puffs of ivory with printed flowers and gold metallic embroidery throughout.
Wide circumferences of bright orange puffs separate the all over Shibori tie- dye textured white and orange patterning.
Silk jacquard, with overlaid floral screening and gold embroidery; the Shibori overlays the jacquard.
Slightly padded collar for shaping.
Fully lined in palest buff silk- the lower body is lined in orange silk.
Wonderful weight and texture- the Shibori silk has a bit of heft.
Assumed post- war, traditional construction and amazing quality.
In excellent condition- this absolutely stunning kimono would be a wonderful robe, lounging jacket, formal evening coat, or wall hanging.
