Finally, after 3 weeks of waiting my shibori kimono set has arrived!Ever since I saw Sumire from the IG-forums wearing her purple shibori houmongi I wanted a shibori kimono. And now I finally have her!
This is a set I bought from Ichiroya (they have very nicely priced kimono sets!), and it contains the kimono, juban, fukuru obi, obiage and obijime. First thing I noticed wearing it, is that it feels very thick. If you'll wear it in winter you won't get cold haha!
To be honest, it's the first time since I own an obi-clip, that I didn't use it! I did my kitsuke by looking at the 'manual' that comes with the kitsuke-dvd of Ichiroya. So no obi-clip and no knot on my back, but simply a koshihimo that temporarily holds the starter-end of the obi in place. And I made the musubi on my back, so it didn't shift while turning.
I really really like this set, it's so chic and sophisticated. Very nice to wear when you're going to the theatre for example.

It s a gorgeous set and looks great on you.
i am so glad she finally arrived!
I'm also very glad that she arrived. When I made this blogpost I emailed Ichiroya to say that the package had arrived and I put a link to my blog in the text. They said that my kitsuke was very good!
Always nice to hear ^_~
