Photos can't do justice to this beautiful original vintage Japanese 1960s silk michiyuki kimono. The super soft pale blue silk has a top-to-bottom dark-to-light gradient, as the delicately embossed vertical line texture combines with a 'wood grain' style pattern at the kimono's edges. The gorgeous pale blue silk has a subtle sheen that catches light as you move.
This lovely michiyuki still has its original 'himo' internal ties and has a white half lining featuring a flying fans and clouds print motif. It fastens with snap buttons and features a hidden pocket. This is an original Japanese michiyuki kimono that has not been worn and is in mint vintage condition.

Vintage Sizing and Measurements
Vintage sizing and modern sizing can be very different. Because of this, we provide detailed measurements of all vintage clothing to help you determine whether or not a garment will fit correctly. An assessment of the estimated modern size will be noted, as well as any sizes on the tag, but please refer to measurements to best determine fit.
A good way to determine fit:
* Find a similar item in your wardrobe.
* Measure it according to our measurement guidelines.
* Compare your measurements to those of the vintage item you are interested in.
* You're done. If it's a good fit, make it yours!
We do occasionally pin clothing to fit our models, so please read all measurements carefully. We do not accept returns for vintage merchandise that does not fit. If you have any questions about our sizing/measurements, please contact us at info@meroretro.com.
