Description
Bailey was over here after a kimono show I did at MTSU... and I wanted to experiment with a new type of bow, the Maiko bow... I know it has a technial name in Japanese, but I can't remember right now because it's late. Actually, the obi's 'tail' should fall to the floor when she stands up... but Bailey isn't as small as a Japanese woman... especially a Maiko (in the time this obi was probably worn, maiko would be between the ages of 12 and 17)... and her ribcage needed more obi to go around. So, the obi goes to her knees instead. But I don't really care, I like my handywork for a first time.Related content

From what I've learned in books, a maiko only wears the tails of the darari obi to the floor in the first month of her maiko career. After that, it's to her knees. So, she's actually quite accurate. I'm not sure if you've learned this since then, but I thought I might as well tell you.

Archery , your retarded. thats a very beautifull and probably very expensive kakeshita. Its the kimono used in japanese weddings underneath the uchikake. the obi is a absolutely amazing maiko obi, you need to know what your talking about before you open your mouth.

One can see that it's a cheap/fake yukata.. it's not even a kimono. =/

is this nesessary? this is NOT a yukata, obviously because yukata are made of cotton, have shorter sleeves and do not have patterns like this. anyway, yukata are kimonos, and this is definitly a kimono. please, do some research and dont go around insulting other people's hard work!
