I deconstructed a michiyuki (outer garment) to make a dress and a snood. I was inspired by kokochan's work, who showcases wonderful clothes made from vintage clothing on social media. The original michiyuki was in very beautiful condition, with the basting stitches still intact. (Photos 17, 18, 19) After that, I only sterilized it with a high-temperature iron. It's a vibrant red, but with a calm tone. The checkered and tortoise shell patterns are arranged regularly, giving it a clean look. The fabric has a moderate thickness and is sturdy. When remaking a michiyuki, I was disappointed that I couldn't utilize the beautiful neckline and covered buttons, but this time I was able to preserve the beauty of the original tailoring. (Photo 13) I'm amazed by the skill of the craftspeople. The shoulder area is finished with a sewing machine. (Photo 11) The length is about 120cm, making it a long dress. I kept the beautiful curve of the hem (Photo 15) without cutting it. There are no sleeves, but the shoulders naturally slope, giving it a French sleeve look. I think it can be used not only as a dress but also as a sleeveless coat. I sewed together two pieces of fabric taken from the body to make a snood. (Photo 16) Because it's long, you can enjoy various ways of wrapping it. It's difficult to deconstruct a kimono, but it's wonderful to be able to enjoy the feel of Japanese fabric in everyday life. Since it's handmade by an amateur, there may be thread holes, remaining threads, small scratches, creases that don't come out with ironing, and unstable stitches. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. ✳︎Please avoid washing as much as possible, and after wearing, hang it on a hanger and let it breathe.
