This is an under kimono (nagajyuban 長襦袢). I went ahead and added an obi just for fun— in photos it is harder to tell this is the under kimono fabric I think. 😁 The train part of the kimono / nagajyuban is extra long for this set because this is a 1/4 doll missing for a 1/3 Lillycat doll.

 

My Kitsuke here is a bit messy with the wrinkle by her hip— better try next time hopefully for a doll size I own.

Rin looks so cute against the starlight pattern. ♥

 

I made the flowers in Rin's hair... the little flowers are about 1cm each, handdyed silk. The art is called "tsumami zaiku" and it is from folding tiny squares like origami. It's a Japanese technique, also called "kanzashi" in English.

Willow is wearing a green custom kimono.

 

This is only my second commission this year...hand sewing still takes me a very long time.

Enkiri wanted to try on the pink kimono too.

 

Looking entirely too cute.

Harri sees some jizou (地蔵 ), little bodhisattva who look after children, in the shape of many sweet animals.

 

(NOTE: jizou are usually only person shaped. These are cute interpretations...)

Old (and ugly) button

Piece of used fabric

beads from a broken necklaces

old and felted woollen shawl

The white kimono is made of roh; summer-weight silk. It is very thin and usually worn in the summer. It's especially nice on dolls for this reason, as it's quite thin compared to winter kimono width.

 

Handmade by me: kimono, kimono accessories, and silk hair ornaments.

Very cute outfit and some fun lighting for our little Appi doll, whose name is Nimbus.

 

I love indirect lighting. How about you?

 

Anyway, the little sheep plush is from Minne.

Willow is wearing golden kanzashi (the hairpins) with tsumami zaiku (hana kanzashi), and showing off their clever hairstyle...

 

Handmade silk green kimono.

Handmade syntebhtic under-kimono. (Knee length)

Handmade obi (the belt) made of brocade fabric. (Not silk, but gold thread and traditional weave.)

Wearing a Bellflower (Kikyo) kanzashi.

 

Two layers: plum blossom and cherry blossom (white and orange), with gradation.

 

Thistle (a Doll Chateau Kid, tall MSD, 50cm) is standing in for 57.5cm LilyCat ...

 

(Her lovely face is a bit small, of course, since she wears 6-7" wig, and 7-8" wig)

 

Tiny kanzashi for a Japanese fashion doll.

We made this lovely purple and sheer kimono set for a kind individual. Beautiful furisode fabric and sheer sparkle organza fabric go together so nicely.

Briar is wearing a red kimono over a white inner-kimono, worn loosely with a manaita obi. The manaita obi is specific to Oiran, who would wear such gorgeous obi with gold embroidery thread flowing over the very-detailed obi, which is longer, broader, and padded more than the usual obi. The decorative gold threads represent the Floating World, a pretty way to refer to the red light district.

 

I was playing with the shibori hair ties, and made the semi-traditional hair updo (simplified, and not all the way up~ ♥ but still cute)

Handmade by me. Testing the various sizes of kimono I made on the Dollstown elf body doll.

I made this dress! It is cotton with some ivory lace.

Quetzal is reading their fortune...

Did you know I adore plum blossoms? :) Well, I do. So I decided to make a maiko henshin set... or a "mini maiko" addition that can be worn by someone even without nihongami. (Tho it's easiest to wear with nihongami, I think...)

 

I hand dyed the silk, cut out hundreds of petals, and folded, folded, folded. Now I'm done! :) I just need to take another photo of the sagari (falls) ... it's hard to do outside of your studio.

Dee and Wren are very fond of Tanabata.

 

Look who has a Totoro wish paper!!

 

Ariadne is wearing a peach-pink kimono I made,and bush-clover belle flower kanzashi.

 

I fixed her wig too. It was made by someone else originally, dyed some silk to extend it and fill in around her neck.

The september kanzashi for maiko is the bell flower and bushclover. 萩桔梗

 

I made this tiny version for dolls. Suitable for SD (8-9 wig), or as an oversized hair ornament for MSD (6-7 wig).

Poncho

- tässä tapauksessa välly, jossa on myös aukko päälle, jos sitä hauaa käyttää "vaatteena".

 

I started with my leftover cotton yarns...

Showing off Briar's rainbow sleeves...multiple layers? Hm, no, actually it's just layering. ^_^

I decided to rethink my winter kanzashi design and have put together two separate ones-- a crane and two red star flowers for a winter motif. ♥

 

Handmade kimono set and kanzashi by me. ♥ I use vintage kimono repurposed for doll art.

Handmade by me~ Ochre kimono look extremely cute.

 

We found out that the Iplehouse Kid body fits pretty similar to the Studio Bitamin kimono! (just a little shorter on the oni.)

Slim Fit (3)

I really love nanohana kanzashi. So delicate, so small and so cute.

WIllow is a Dollmore Model F Seol-a sculpt on an IOS Class 40 body (because I don't have one for them...)

 

...I actually do not mind big heads. ♥ Actually very cute.

Merry Doll Round Zuri, our Ariadne, is a lovely doll. Very study stander and beautiful in any kimono.

Miyabi and Tomu wearing silk kimono.

 

Handmade kanzashi and kimono etc by me. ♥

 

Tomu is a MyouDoll Carr sculpt on an Iplehouse kid body.

Lovely little Indigo is a cute tiny doll. Enkiri is a bigger cousin! (Or sibling??) Looking super cute.

You can see the signature of the yuzen kimono artist who painted (and embroidered) this mauve kimono. It was originally quite worn, so I cleaned it, removed stitches, and sew it for a 56cm doll. (Modeled on a 53cm doll, so it is a bit long...)

I love this dress on Kosuzu.
