I took apart, washed, and ironed a new or used Oshima Tsumugi kimono. It was a lot of work, but it transformed into a very cute skirt! The waist is adjustable with elastic. I inspect the fabric and use the cleanest parts, but since it's a used kimono, there may be some minor damage like inconspicuous scratches, stains, or color transfer. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about the details. The finish is not like that of a ready-made product. Please refrain from purchasing if you are particular about the details. The item will be compactly packaged, so wrinkles may occur. Thank you for your understanding.
