New maiko hiki! Seller photo without tucks- sold

I saw this on YJA a few weeks ago listed as a furisode and I was certain that it was a maiko hiki.

You can see where the fabric is discoloured where the sleeve tucks would be so I was fairly confident but still took a risk on it.

I received it today and sewed the tucks back in :)

The other reason why I was so sure this was a maiko hiki is I think I've seen the pattern on the skirt before.

I can't remember if its just similar to another hiki I've seen or what.

It might have even been used in a henshin studio cuz its pretty badly stained and discoloured.

Any ideas?

 

Length:180cm

Sode: 88cm
