Soft pink diagonal stripes bring a sweet, playful charm to this vintage girl's cotton kimono. The broad bands are stenciled to imitate the intricate dotted texture of kanoko shibori, while slender diagonal lines of tiny red and turquoise plum blossoms add delicate contrast. Symbolizing perseverance and the arrival of spring, the blossoms complement the cheerful design of this lightweight, unlined casual kimono.

Signs of age and use include some blemishes on both the front and back of the kimono, see last photos.

This kimono has an 8" tuck at the waist and a 2" tuck at each shoulder. These can be taken out to allow for more length and width if desired.
