This is a vintage baby girl's kimono - it is made of soft rinzu silk, and
phoenix motif is dyed with
shibori technique.
shibori is Japanese tie dyeing technique, and it gives the textile very unique texture.
It has some flaws as photos show. However, they are slight or small and not disturbing. As a whole it is in very good condition and beautiful piece.
*Shoulder is folded and sewn to be shortened. If you unpick the seam, shoulder to shoulder lenght will be 1.6in(4cm) longer.
*Approx background color - HTML code ( FF5235)
