This is a very attractive, vintage, genuine Japanese tsukesage /kimono/robe, made from a rich cream smooth fabric.

The fabric is probably polyester, with a smooth finish, the slightest hint of lemon yellow, and delightful placement designs.

The designs are at the hem and on one sleeve and shoulder. They are of teahouses, bridges, rock gardens and small flowers.

The designs are in very attractive colours including vibrant blues, orange, ivory, green & yellow.  

Some of the flowers are edged in fine gold paint. They contrast beautifully with the light cream background.

Fully lined, in cream silk at the top and ivory synthetic fabric with a pink border in the skirt.

In very good, possibly unused condition on the outside. No noticeable marks or flaws.

However there are quite a lot of marks/foxing on the silk upper lining. Please check the final photos carefully. 

They are examples, not exhaustive. Because of the lining marks, which wouldn't show when wearing, I wouldn't recommend as a gift.

My feeling is that the upper cream silk lining has been taken from an older used kimono and added to this new one.

Please remove the large white tacking stitches before wearing. These are put in for better storage once the garment is finished.

This kimono would be suitable for formal Japanese dress or as a unique and pretty dress/coat. 

Also suitable for fancy dress/anime/manga/cosplay.

Traditional kimono styling, with square shaped, long split sleeves and a wrap front, which makes the fit adaptable. 

In my opinion this would best fit UK ladies' size Small/Medium (UK 8-12 approximately). This is a long garment.

The size is adaptable due to the overlapping front. This kimono would have been worn with an obi.

 I have several obi for sale in separate listings, and others available on request.

Could also be worn with a wide belt, cord or sash. I have various cords & maybe some sashes available for sale if required.
