Delicate Lily
This is a VINTAGE Japanese Furisode. Furisode are formal kimono for young, unmarried women. This piece likely originates in the late Showa Period (1926 - 1989) or Heisei Period (1989 - present). This kimono features a delicate pattern of lilies and chrysanthemums on a rich purple background.
I have inspected this furisode in detail, and there is very minimal damage: only a few small spots here and there. Overall, I would rate this furisode in excellent vintage condition. This garment is 100% silk.
MEASUREMENTS:
167cm - Long (Collar to Hem)
132cm - Arm span
62cm - Width across the back
138cm - Total width of skirt
106.5cm - Sleeve drop
SIZING:
If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. If this kimono is worn with a waist fold, it will ideally fit a woman about 157cm (5'2") - 177cm (5'10") tall. This kimono will ideally fit a woman with hips about 92cm (36") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.
