Sakura Festival - Kimonoshow 2015

So it was Sakura Festival again, this year the weather was cold, and a little wet...
But we completed the show, a little shoter and no group picture on the path with the sea in the background.

This year I had my new komon kimono on, had a little trouble what obi to wear, but chose a retro nagoya (a little to short) 

The show

We were three people to dress this year, started at 10 Am, and had a nice time ontil 2:30 PM
To the hair we had great help by Nadia Hall
