DIY Kimono
September 12, 2013
I’m really getting tired of this monotonous white background so I will keep this post short for now. Just wanted to show all of you my new kimono that my sister helped me make! (granted she did 90% of it) My sister is the “seamstress” of the family and with her moving away in a month I wanted to start taking in a few lessons and pointers for when I have the urge to be creative. I have been eyeing a few kimonos from Arnhem Clothing along with some other designers but I wasn’t very comfortable paying such a high amount for them. (too many other things higher on my “to buy” list). One trip to LA and a couple hours of work and voila!
I will be posting some higher quality pictures of it this weekend so stay tuned!
Your sister’s super sweet 🙂
Amazing! I was going to purchase for Fall but this is something to try!
Yes! If you are unsure about pulling the trigger then I’d definitely try something like this! Or try and thrift one that’s already made and add some trim to the ends.
