Well, I recently decided to try putting my passion for kimono collecting to use by getting into the business of reselling kimono.
This is my first offering for all of you, from the first bundle of kimono I bought to sell. In that bundle I got three gorgeous, vintage furisode in amazing condition. I will be listing all three of them on etsy over the next few days from most expensive to least expensive.
I'm asking top dollar for this beauty because it's amazing condition, it's masterfully dyed and it also has the signature of the dyer stamped on the skirt. Please check out all the detail photos to see the beautiful workmanship.
This furisode likely originates in the Heisei Period (1989 - present), probably the 1990's. It is 100% silk. I believe the outside is rinzu, while the white lining is likely habbotai.
I have inspected this furisode in detail, and have only been able to find one small, faint stain on the back of the garment. I've circled the stain in the in the detail photos. It's actualy more prominent in the photo than in reality. I would rate this furisode in excellent vintage condition. Aside from that tiny stain, it's in like new condition. There are no tears or seam separations. This beautiful piece can be worn. This furisode also has a garment care tag inside the collar.
MEASUREMENTS:
162.5cm - Long (Collar to Hem)
130.5cm - Arm span
61cm - Width across the back
131.5cm - Total width of skirt
112cm - 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. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 152.5cm (5'0") - 172.5cm (5'8") tall, with hips about 88cm (34.5") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.
