This is a vintage girl's kimono with romantic iris pattern, which is dyed in gradation.
Textile is kinsha (fine crepe) silk which has very soft touch.
Shoulders and bodice are folded and sewn, and if you unpick the seams, sleeve to sleeve will be 3.1in (8cm) longer and bodice will be 9.4in(24cm) longer.
As the photos and the sheets show, it has some flaws.
Patinas are noticeable on the ivory places of the pattern.
Still it will be an excellent handicraft material.
