Thank you for looking! Please read my profile before considering a purchase. This dress was made by deconstructing, washing, and ironing a vintage Oshima Tsumugi kimono. It has a back opening with fabric-covered buttons made from the same material. The sleeves are gathered, and the cuffs have elastic. It's a lovely A-line dress! Please compare the size with the image on the sixth photo and with your own dresses. Regarding alterations like shortening the length, please comment after reading my profile. I am a home sewer, and this is a remake from vintage kimono fabric. Thank you for your understanding. I hope you like it!
