Ok so i won an auction almost two weeks ago and i have been eagerly awaiting the arival of my vintage beauty kimono (as i fondly called it). well yea so my vintage baby came in today, after a botched get together with friends before aikido plan this cutie was exactly what i needed! XD
Sha has long sleaves, and her cream base is actuly a little more pinkish in color. there were more age/minor damage spots then antisipated, i also need to do some minor repairs, oh and the collar was sewn in half (i wounder how long it has been like that....) but all in all when i put that baby on all the flaws just seemed to dissapear (then again the majority of them were on the back >: D ) so when i get home from class tonight i will begin my repairs (useing some 'invisible thread' for now untill i feel confident enough to buy visible 'gasp' silk thread!) and hopefully i will be takeing some pics on this fridayish.
Due to the more pinkish hue of the base i do think i will go with that red obi i've been pondering, but i think i should go with a blue (preferably a lighter blue) or an orange obiage with perhapse a cream colored obi jime so that the cream color isn't totaly dwarfed.... heh lets see what i find... i'll probibly put off untill after christmas is (probibly not) over till i buy them though. well lets see where the river takes us.
