A pretty silk haori, with an allover pattern that won't wear you! It's a reddish purple, not hot tones, which is accurately shown on my monitor. The fabric is a buy hitokoshi crepe (flat-woven of crepe-spun thread, not nubby or overtly textured, but not shiny-smooth, either). As a crepe fabric, it has great drape and I expect will be rather wrinkle resistant. It's in very good vintage condition. I'm not a huge fan of the yellow himo (ties) with this haori although they appear to be new, and complement the lining, and have quite a few choices of other colors, most of which can be swapped, for no additional charge. Please convo me to discuss your preferences.
It's about 48 inches around at the waist when worn open as designed, about 48.8 inches from sleeve to sleeve, and 31.7 inches from shoulder to hem.
If the thought of kimono sleeves dangling would keep you from wearing one, I now offer to alter them: https://www.etsy.com/listing/517438066/kimono-sleeve-reduction-alteration?ref=shop_home_active_17

I am no expert on kimono or fabrics, just fiber artist with a deep love of beautiful textiles. But I have been collecting and working with kimono for a number of years, so feel free to ask any questions you might have and I will tell you what I can.
I have fibromyalgia, I don't have the energy to iron, and this is vintage kimono fabric which has been stored for years. I have not noticed any stains or spots, but it may have age- or storage-related imperfections. When I find these, I state them. As is normal with vintage items, this item is sold as is.
