I unraveled a Meisen kimono and made a long skirt. The original kimono was in a clean condition without any stains. (Photos 14-17) Since Meisen can fade when washed with water, I only performed high-temperature sterilization with an iron. There are places where it has been sewn together to adjust the length. (Please check the center of Photo 13.) For this reason, the price is lower than skirt 181. The pattern has a beautiful contrast between red and black. The fabric has a moderate sheen and the characteristic crispness of Meisen is also lovely. I think this is a skirt with a color and pattern that will go well with any top. I added three long pleats each in the front and back to control the volume. Although it has plenty of gathers, the pleats make the waist and hip area look neat. Silk fabric is expensive, so it's difficult to buy fabric and make something. Unraveling old kimonos is hard work, but it's wonderful to be able to enjoy the feel of pure silk in everyday life. It's also nice to be able to enjoy the colors and combinations unique to Japan. I enjoy sewing with just straight stitches. I remake using old kimonos and obi belts, and furoshiki cloths such as Tsumugi, Meisen, and Komon. Please consider this if you understand that there may be remaining threads, small holes, stains from used items, distortions, or double stitching. ✳︎ Please avoid washing as much as possible. After wearing, hang it on a hanger and let it breathe. ✳︎ Everything other than the skirt is for photography purposes. ✳︎ No lining is attached. Please use a petticoat when wearing.
