Vintage Silk Blue Floral Kimono

This beautiful vintage Kimono is made of silk inside and out. The exterior is a rich blue with a small floral pattern in red and white tones, and the interior is panels of solid colour in white and pink. There is no string or loop at the front opening but there is a lot of extra fabric. The sleeves feel a little shorter than usual but have a large rectangular width typical of a kimono. This piece appears to be unworn and may still have baste stitches in place. This piece is not marked with a size (or gender) and I'm not very familiar with measuring kimonos or haoris. Based on how I normally size unmarked pieces, this piece would be a size XL. There is leeway with the overlapping fabric in the front, so please use these very approximate flat lay measurements: Pit to pit: 23.5" Waist: 22.75" Hips: 26" Sleeve length: 20.75" Total length: 56.5" As it was explained to me by the original seller (so take it with a grain of salt), destroying old kimonos is frowned upon in Japanese culture. For this reason, many dealers are happy to sell these pieces to foreigners abroad. This haori is being sold with reverence and cultural appreciation, not appropriation. (If I'm way off base, please correct me. I don't pretend to be an expert!) Love the piece but not the price? Make an offer!
