hmm...reminds me of my best friend who wore a summer kimono for halloween! C: but then when we went trick-or-treatin' (like little kidssss ) she was wearing a witch-looking costume xD

it's interesting how different winter and summer kimonos r summer ones seem more comfortable than winter ones, cuz their lighter but i've never worn one, so i wouldn't kno xD

Haori, which are Kimono jackets, can also be worn, and are fun with jeans. You can also use vintage kimono silk in a variety of crafts for clothing.

Since I have to wear a sleeve ar work and don't really like western-style suit jackets, I am slowly acquiring haori to go with most of my work clothes. And since I wear a larger size than most Japanese women's clothes, the mens sizing and colors are the most appropriate. But I am about to cut off some old kimonos to make haori and use the fabric remnants to enlarge them so they will close properly. The first one, a black & silver brocade, turned out beautiful. Though its too fancy for work, it is great for party's & clubbing.
