A vintage kimono has often been tailored to the individual wearer. The width and length of all kimono styles will vary. I have sized the collection as Small, Medium, Large and X-Large. Please view the sizing chart for detailed information, I will be happy to answer any questions you have.
Kimono lengths are traditionally very long. A traditional kimono is worn by folding and tucking the length to suit the wearer. Your kimono can be custom altered for length by the tailor of your choice.
Please note that due to the nature of vintage clothing, each piece may possess its own unique charm, including slight imperfections, variations in color, and signs of wear. These characteristics contribute to the authenticity and vintage appeal of the garment.
