@royalsmomma hi! What are the measurements? Thank you
royalsmomma
@annutka11 Okay, give me just a bit to measure it. It is a normal kimono size which is very long because they walk in wooden platform shoes. I will measure the length though. Are you wanting to know any other measurements other than length?

Gorgeous. As soon as someone actually buys something from me I’m shopping here!
royalsmomma
@lmdig2018 it truly is gorgeous and wish I could keep it. Thank you for liking it!

@royalsmomma I bought and sold Kimono from Japan for many years through the Brooklyn Naval Yard. Shipping has become too expensive at this point. At one time I owned and sold and researched thousands. This is a mother of the bride or mother in law kimono. At three times, oddly enough used at funerals. Lol

Domo arrigato gozaimasu! 🇯🇵

@lmdig2018 interesting. I always envisioned it as a man's kimono. I don't know why. My mom has one also with less red, softer colors.
lmdig2018
@royalsmomma nope. The length of the sleeve tells the marital status. Shorter are for a married woman. Men’s kimono are usually plain black with a crest or sigil
lmdig2018
The long sleeves are for an unmarried woman. Called Furisode The type of collar tells the “kind” of woman and occasion.
royalsmomma
@lmdig2018 you are awesome.
lmdig2018
@royalsmomma I’m open to trades. I don’t know how it works but if you like anything of mine we can do that. Check out the Japanese dress I have after Kimono went out of fashion in the 50s it’s really little but it’s awesome.
lmdig2018
I put it right up front for you. After 1940 japan opened their borders to the west and adopted American Clothing styles. That replaced the kimono

@lmdig2018 I unfortunately am not selling out of joy. I'm selling my favorite things because I have come upon hard times. I love your items but I need the money.
lmdig2018
@royalsmomma I’m sorry. And I understand. I hope things go better for you soon. If someone would buy from me, I’ll come see you first!!! It will go to a good home hung on the wall and preserved, not worn. If you get in your feet later? We can trade back!

@lmdig2018 I have always wanted it hung in my dining room. Thank you, I consider you a friend. ♡
lmdig2018
@royalsmomma Thanks. You too. 😁

Measurements please? Length and width would be most appreciated. Thank you c:
royalsmomma
@stoned_hijabi do you want the width including sleeves or waist?
lunar_boutique

@lmdig2018 what is this?
lmdig2018
@stoned_hijabi standard measurements for women and girls kimono sizing. 😁
lmdig2018
Measurement requests are.... 😳😖
lunar_boutique
@lmdig2018 standard measurements for the UK. UK and US sizes are different. Thanks but no thanks.
lunar_boutique
@lmdig2018 measurement requests are frustrating to say the least. If more sellers just did it upfront, it would be beneficial on both parties.
lmdig2018
@stoned_hijabi im a seamstress also. Ive dealt in these for years. The sizing is standard in most cases when mass manufactured and 80% of these are. Those made special and tailored to the individual aren’t touchable at this price point.
lmdig2018
If you don’t like that site ? Google standard tomesode and furosode kimono measurements.
lmdig2018
And measurement requests are frustrating because 99% of the time those who ask never buy and were never going to. 🤮
lmdig2018
Uchikake of course, are longer.
lunar_boutique
@lmdig2018 I'm not worried about the length. Just the width.
lunar_boutique
@lmdig2018 and I actually do purchase items I request the sizes for. Provided the sizes work for me. I think what's worse is people who request to be styled by you but then you go out of your way to accommodate and they never reply, or take interest. At least with measurement requests you have a chance to make a sale.
lunar_boutique
@lmdig2018 how much training do you need to become a seamstress? And you know those mannequin dolls to showcase your clothes? Where can you purchase one and do they come in standard sizing or are there plus size options?
lmdig2018
@stoned_hijabi Im not trying to personalize my comments so you shouldn’t either. Im just knowledgable concerning kimono and i like the seller so I’m more trying to help her out. People use the Internet, and forget they’re using ... the internet. The answer to every question is ...on the internet. Sewing takes time, money and I purchased my mannequin from Amazon. Kimono are made larger than the frame they are intended for because they are made to tuck and fold.
lmdig2018
The European sizes are smaller than American, because the American standard is larger. generally don’t close correctly at the Hip if you’re curvy.
lmdig2018
If you are straight up and down without large hips these sit as they were intended and when worn properly you’ll also require an Obi, a sash, and a cord. If you”re just going to run around with it open like a robe it doesn’t matter.
lunar_boutique
@lmdig2018 okay thank you
royalsmomma
@stoned_hijabi 62" long. 24" wide not including sleeves
royalsmomma
@lmdig2018 this is not made in U.S. it's made in Japan amd it's vintage.
lunar_boutique
@royalsmomma thank you hon 🌺
royalsmomma
@stoned_hijabi sorry it took me so long.
lmdig2018
@stoned_hijabi **Exact measurements that are on the chart in the link I sent. 🤪
lmdig2018
I guess the moral of the story is: Don’t help.
lunar_boutique
@royalsmomma it's okay
royalsmomma
