"Small memories" sleeping in the back of the dresser.
Children's kimonos. They are precious garments, filled with the love of parents and grandparents, and carefully stored away in the back of the closet. However, the size, color, and pattern are all child-sized, and there's no longer an opportunity to wear them...
But you probably have a strong desire to "wear it again someday" or "not let these memories go to waste."
The truth is, it's possible to beautifully revive that small kimono as "adult formal wear" through the magic of traditional techniques like dyeing and tailoring. This time, I'll share the moving story of how I transformed my own kimono, which had been dormant for many years, into a modern garment.
I hope to alleviate any anxieties you may have about "Is tailoring really possible?" and help you take the next step.
