From iro-tomesode (formal colored kimono) to long jacket for weddings

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

I received a colored tomesode kimono to tailor into a long jacket for an April wedding. It has a subdued beige background with gold embroidery and hand-painted cranes—a very auspicious pattern.
Unlike a dress, it has a front opening, so I decided to make the center front a simple meeting edge without buttons.
I couldn't disrupt the pattern. Pattern matching was crucial.
I was able to match the patterns beautifully on both front and back, and use the patterns to their fullest extent. I finished in time for the deadline and can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It has a different feel from tailoring a black tomesode, and this project reminded me how truly beautiful colored tomesode kimonos are.
Congratulations!
