This is a VINTAGE Japanese Kurotomesode. Kurotomesode are formal kimono for married women. Nowadays they are mostly worn by the mother of the bride at weddings. This piece likely originates in the Showa Period (1926 - 1989). It displays a pattern of embroidered fans and various florals.
I have inspected this kimono in detail and there is minimal damage as can be seen in the photos above. There are some faint scuffs on the exterior, some faint patina and a small pull to the embroidery. Overall I would rate this kimono in excellent vintage condition. This kimono is 100% silk.
MEASUREMENTS:
Length: 153cm

Total Width of Skirt: 133cm
Sleeve Drop: 48.5cm
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 143cm (4'8") - 163cm (5'4") tall, with hips about 89cm (35") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.
After seeing Katie Cupcake's stitched note on the Feeling Stitchy blog I decided to try to make my own version. The tattoo motif is from Jenny Hart's Stitch It Kit, the notebook paper, I just traced over the flip side of a piece of notebook paper using a heat transfer pencil. I haven't done a lot of embroidery, I'm pretty much a cross stitcher but this was a fun project. I just get frustrated when my stitches go all wonky. I also have the worst lighting in the world, my fabric is more white than tan.

A beautiful hand embroidered Indian elephant, it will brighten any room of your house!
Made with love using organic beige felt. Many different brightly coloured cotton threads have been used to create ornate designs on the elephant's front. It has been finished with coloured beads and sequins.
The tail and loop used to hang the elephant is made from velvet cord ribbon and the back of the elephant is plain beige felt.
PLEASE NOTE: This piece has been used as a sample piece and is in perfect condition apart from small pen mark on the back of the elephant.
All my art pieces are 'one off designs', as I often use vintage pieces of fabric, beads or lace. So please contact me for more sizes and colour options or if you want me to personalise an item.
Size: main body: 6" by 5", loop length: 3 and half".

I made these little shoes for my cousins baby. You had to be an octopus to hold her..she was a wiggley one, always on the go! They are microsude and fleece lined with corduroy soles to help prevent slipping.

This piece of embroidered fabric was formerly a Bocha or Wrapping Cloth. These heavily decorated fabrics were used by brides to wrap up treasures for their hope chest. Sometime in the 19th century, this Bocha was cut-up and re-sewn as a jacket.
I will have my seamstress / burdadera (o) re-sew this again into the cape or manto for the NS de la Miserecordia. I thought the silver thread design will go well with the silver thread "Flaming Heart" emblem on the Virgin's frontal.
embroidering a whole day. My original plan is 30 days for casting, 30 days for outfits, 30 days for sanding, assembling and face up. I finish casting on time, but the outfits cost much more time. I'm sorry that I reply emails slowly recently. I need to work overtime at night sometimes. Thank you for your comments. ^-^
