Return to article: How to Find a Kimono for a Japanese Wedding
on 3/7/2008 Lots of vintage wedding kimonos are for sale on the web. Most if not all are former rental gowns, hardly ever used. My company, Kyoto Kimono (www.kyotokimono.com and www.bridalkimono.com) offers the wedding kimonos as well as apparel, gifts and accessories made from kimono fabrics for couples whether they want to add a Japanese touch to their ceremony and reception or a full Japanese theme.
on 9/16/2006 Perhaps an easier-to-find source for a pattern (which is a great suggestion!) is the "Folkwear" brand pattern #113 and/or the John Marshall book called, Make Your Own Kimono. Good Luck!
on 11/22/2005 Simplicity pattern 5830 is the closest thing to an actual Kimono in fabric store patterns. It will need to be made longer, to obtain the proper fold below the obi, and the sleeves are Tomesode length (much too short for an Uchikake).
