Misora - Beautiful Sky
Time for some Okinawan style! This is the kimono I completed over the last couple of days. It's got a beautiful faux bingata print on it. Bingata is a style of fabric dying that originated in Okinawa, Japan. The kimono from that region are famous for their bold designs and vivid colours. I purchased the fabric a while ago for about $30. It's synthetic and so I decided it would be best to leave this kimono unlined. Especially since the juban I have to match it is synthetic as well making the ensemble quite warm. You can see the matching juban underneath here: [link] The fabric bolt seemed to be printed quite stangely. It didn't quite have the right pieces for the collar, so I had to fenagle something into place. As a result one of the horizontal seams on the collar is actually a false seam. It's there only to give the appearance of a proper collar construction. I also decided to sew the collar down half width for ease of wearing. This way I don't have to worry about folding my collar in half when I wear it. Please excuse the wonky kitsuke on the manequin. It was not a good kitsuke day for me today. Time to Completion: 14 hours 42 minutes |

I watch a show about kimonos from Okinawan ( it's on youtube too) I found it interesting that they use fibries from a plant similar to a banana tree to make the cloth. Also the dyes are mainly prime colors like Red, yellow, and blue. ^_^
