This beautiful vintage Kimono is made of silk inside and out. The exterior is a bold red dotted with raised white circles, and the interior is white with a deep red around the edges. 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: 21.75"
Total length: 63"
As it was explained to me by the original seller (so take it with a grain of salt), destroying old kimonos or selling them in the country is frowned upon in Japanese culture. For this reason, many dealers are happy to sell these pieces to foreigners abroad. This kimono 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!
((This piece is being relisted as the original length was incorrect - the listed length is now correct))
