Thank you for your feedback, Elizabeth! I'm glad you love that kimono. It did seem unique, even as far as performance kimono go!

5 out of 5 starsExactly as per photos however smelt very very very strong of essential oils and cannot be worn until the smell goes away. Hopefully fresh air and sunlight resolves or dry cleaning

Hello Teresa, thank you so much for your review! Yes, I sometimes spray vintage items with eucalyptus to protect them from pests and sanitize them without damaging the materials! The smell should leave quickly if you hang it out to air!

4 out of 5 starsAs per the photos, looks as photos show. The clasp fix upgrade was refunded as seller didn’t see I had paid for the upgrade. Smelt very very strongly of essential oils but looks beautiful. Hopefully some sunlight and fresh air resolve the smell.

I'm a writer, a sewer and a seller. I've been wearing kimono since 2008. I want to make kimono more accessible. But I also seek new ways kimono technology can be incorporated into the contemporary wardrobe to create more ethical fashion.
