Enjoy the exquisite allure of this midi-length silk halter dress, meticulously crafted from an authentic upcycled kimono that previously adorned Umeno's esteemed Geiko. Adjustable ribbon-tie accentuates the graceful halter design, while an alluring back slit adds a touch of intrigue. The dress is thoughtfully finished with a discreet side zipper for effortless wear.
Features a "Goshodoki" motif on a light pink chirimen crepe silk.
In Japanese kimono design, the "goshodoki" pattern evokes the type of the landscapes found in 'The Tale of Genji' and other Heian-era literature. Originally, these patterns were a type of kimono design worn by upper-class women during the Edo period, but they became more widespread among the general population in the Meiji era and beyond.
Goshodoki motifs typically include cypress fans, folding screens, palace curtains, and imperial carriages, as well as mountains and rivers, palaces, gazebos, branch-lattice doors, fences, and various flowers/.
