Let’s Start with Kimono Introduction ❤︎ Elegant Antique Kimono!

Antique Kimono Outfit

The muted red color and antique pattern of this kimono are elegant and cute!
This time, we coordinated with a white obi (sash) and collar!

It gives a unified look, which is recommended when you’re unsure! 🫶 For the obi ornament, we intentionally chose a yellow pearl on a string (additional cost of 500 yen).

Using pearls adds a touch of cuteness!
Selecting an obi ornament in a different color from the obi itself will complete the kimono outfit 💓

Antique Kimono Outfit

This is how it looks from behind!
Adding tulle as an option makes the back look more festive! ✨️ (Additional cost of 500 yen)

If you want to look elegant as an adult but not too mature, this is recommended! 💓
As for the hair ornament, since the kimono has muted colors, we chose muted orange and white flowers! 👍🏻

It’s very sophisticated and cute, isn’t it? 🌷 If you want to see other retro kimonos, please check out this page.
