This cute antique hitoe... A bit too small, though I did manage an ohashori! I should not have bought her.But... she's so cute...
And hitoe, which I still feel is quite rare, she is perfect for collecting.
I paired her with a hitoe teal-blue obi, teal-blue zori to match the flower and brownish accessories too match the other flower.
I guess this kimono is more fall hitoe looking at the pattern, but well.I fell for this kimono because of the rinzu weave, it contains fan's streams, flowers, clouds, matsu etc. and it's shiny.
The pattern strikes me as bold and fun, I just had to have her for my collection.
And now that I tried her on and see the size isn't that bad, I am even more happy.
Oh, and Mamechiyo, you are right (of course) if I want/need to show that much collar, I'd better use coloured han-eri...

Ahh, another hakata-obi! That color is just beautiful, and the fact that it's hakata... And the kimono is very sweet.
It's such a playful color combo and I would have bought this kimono as well even if it was too small for me. Love it!
Yes, and perfectly cool for summer, too!
