The fabric is hand embroidered with a raised floral design in two tones of pink and white against the light pink silk colour. The piece is cut in a classic kimono form with wide cut sleeves and is fully lined in a light pink silk It cinches at the waist with a matching embroidered sash belt with fringe. The hemline is padded and covered with white silk. The kimono should fit a medium to large size but please note the following measurements for fit, taking the style of the garment into consideration (it might be helpful to measure a kimono that you already own):
