I was fortunate enough to find this kimono for $5 at our local Matsuri. xD The costume went forth from there. I did modify it by lengthening and re-lining the sleeves, adding red bias tape and lace. Wig, tabi socks, and geta were also bought. The obi was the most difficult part. It is made from Casa crepe with interfacing sandwiched inside. I hand painted the cranes and designs all over it. I also painted a bead for the obidome. Basically, the obi and all it's accessories are attached together and go on in one go for easy dressing!
