This is especially true for the boy's kimonos, which usually are quite small (for a 3 or 5-year old) and delicate (intended for ceremonies rather than play).

"Celebration" Girl's Kimono - $75

This is a crepey silk - typical of these kinds of kimonos in the 1950's - with several layers of design (water, florals, and tiny auspicious images) and embellishment (note silver painted highlights on many of the floral designs).

"Merry Christmas" Girl's Kimono - $150
