These vintage
kimono fabric packets based on the way kimono are constructed. The fabric
is woven approximately 14 inches wide. One portion is cut in half and sewn
to each front to create the overlap so you have pieces that are either about 14
inches wide or about 7 inches wide. Most of the fabrics are silk, or silk and a
blend of other fiber such as cotton, wool, ramie or linen.
COLORS
Generally, the
lighter colors will have the larger patterns. Patterns on dark colors are
usually geometric. The colors have been grouped into families listed
below.

Just let us know what you would like and we'll do the
best we can.
NOTE: Greens and light
blues are the least common colors in kimono. When ordering in this range
please give us a second color choice . As always, we will make every
effort to find your first choice. Out of thousands of kimono, there are
seldom any two just alike, so reordering a particular fabric is not
possible.
