Japanese Kimono, aren't they beautiful? They are always so elegant and made from the most amazing, colorful fabrics. A few years ago we went to see Andy Williams in Branson (yes, he was awesome and yes we were the youngest ones there! ;P) He has some very impressive artworks in his theatre and at the time they had a display of vintage kimonos. (of course I stupidly didn't have my camera.) It was amazing to see them up close, they were all intricately hand embroidered. Maybe one day I'll own a kimono of my own, even if I just wore it around the house I would feel so special. ;)
