Roman kimono, crepe

I just bought this lovely kimono, it is too small for me, but I could not resist the pattern.
I got it cheap, which also was one reason why I bought it.



Is it not just great : D

New obi dome - almost

Found this fine ceramic butterfly, on a flea market yesterday, fits perfect as a obi dome, unfortunately, I dropped it on our stonetile floor, bad combination... but I think now I'll use it anyway.

Kimono Jack Kirsuke

So our first Kimono Jack in Denmark has ended, and we were 6 in total, 2 in kimono, and 4 supporters, thanks to all, read more on http://kimonojackdk.blogspot.com/




My outfit, almost lasted ; )
Typically this morning,, I wanted to wear another kimono, than planned. So I started to put together a new combination, this one... it is ok, but I think I could do a better version, than the one I did today.

The obi is an old Chuya, and way too small for me, so I cheated, I made only one lap around the torso, in stead of the normal two ones.
The Han-eri is ones again a former tablecloth, made this morning, seems to be a habit.
The Jacket is an old secondhand one, which almost fits a kimono, the sleeves are a bit to shorts.

This is after a bus tour, two traintours, two hours in a Cafe` and a cartrip.



The pink is the elastic band, which
has climbed up, I had unfortunately
not
noticed it.
