This is a gorgeous Furisode set.
It includes a furisode, a juban and a fukuro obi.
It fits around 160cm(5ft3in) -- 165cm(5ft5in) height.

*Furisode*
Its sleek red background stylishly gradates toward the black bottom hem.
Its dyed design is so blissful and radiant -
ribbons and weeping sakura (cherry) twigs gracefully droop down from the shoulder through to the bottom, and golden butterflies flutter around.
'Tsuchiguruma'(watermills with mallets) add a classical touch.
Textile is silk and has soft touch.

*Fukuro Obi*
This zentsu (fully patterned) obi has glorious 'hana-maru' (flower circle) pattern woven mostly with metallic coated threads.
Its base shifts its color from black to silver towards the tesaki end, and the waist area which won't be shown when tied is less colorful in silver-purple hues.
Textile is silk, and it's soft.

*Juban*
This softly shading juban has kiku (chrysanthemum), kiri and 'tatewaku' (waving lines) pattern woven in its textile.
Textile is silk and has very soft touch.

The wear and discoloration on the Furisode doesn't stand out much in the gloss of the textile.
There are small stains about the right shoulder.
However, it's still in very good condition overall.
There is folding line left when tied on the obi.
The juban has stains about the right shoulder as the Furisode does.
It also has wear and some other stains.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.

Overall, it's still in very good condition and can be worn even on formal occasions.
