Remaking a long blouse from a ro (silk gauze) kimono

2025-05-09 15:31:51 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

I received a summer ro weave kimono and tailored it into a single-layer long blouse.
The transparency of the ro kimono fabric is one of its most charming features. I deliberately made it as a single layer without lining. Depending on what you wear underneath, it can be styled either casually or more formally. The front center has a clean seam with one button at the neck. The flowing silhouette is absolutely lovely. Of course, it can be hand-washed, making it a perfect layer for protection against air conditioning or direct sunlight during the hot summer months!

▲The long-length design is also lovely.

Remaking a one-piece dress from a kasuri (ikat) kimono.

2025-05-02 15:38:46 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

I received a hand-woven kasuri kimono and remade it into an unlined dress. Kasuri (ikat) refers to fabric where the vertical threads are tied and dyed before weaving. When the horizontal threads are tied and dyed before weaving, it's called yoko-gasuri (horizontal ikat).
The material is hemp. Since it's thick, it doesn't easily become transparent or wrinkle, so I made it single-layered without lining so it can be worn during midsummer and is washable.
The design was based on the customer's favorite dress which was brought as a sample. The customer also removed buttons from a dress they used to wear and brought them along.
What a wonderful recycling and remaking spirit!

Remake a one-piece dress from a cherry blossom-colored visiting kimono (houmongi).

2025-03-29 16:36:18 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

I received a cherry blossom-colored visiting kimono that's perfect for this season and remade it into a dress. Previously, I made one with the same pattern and size that the customer really loved, so they requested the same design. I'm so happy about this! Even though it's exactly the same design, it's surprisingly different - almost like a completely different piece. Since I didn't charge for the pattern or fitting, the tailoring fee became quite reasonable. Well, it's spring now! The cherry blossoms are in full bloom in no time!

▲The pink background has a lovely pattern on it.

From iro-tomesode (formal colored kimono) to long jacket for weddings

2025-03-20 17:21:12 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

I received a colored tomesode kimono to tailor into a long jacket for an April wedding. It has a subdued beige background with gold embroidery and hand-painted cranes—a very auspicious pattern.
Unlike a dress, it has a front opening, so I decided to make the center front a simple meeting edge without buttons.
I couldn't disrupt the pattern. Pattern matching was crucial.
I was able to match the patterns beautifully on both front and back, and use the patterns to their fullest extent. I finished in time for the deadline and can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It has a different feel from tailoring a black tomesode, and this project reminded me how truly beautiful colored tomesode kimonos are.
Congratulations!

▲Perfectly aligned pattern matching

From furisode (kimono) to wedding dress

2025-02-25 15:25:56 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

We received a tomesode kimono from a customer who was preparing for her son's wedding in early March. She was a bit concerned about a stain that had formed on the pattern, but we decided to proceed with tailoring it without attempting stain removal. The result? No problem at all! Unless you stare at it up close, it's completely unnoticeable.
I was very happy to see another sleeping kimono be reborn. If you have kimonos with stains or moth damage that you're thinking "I should just throw this away," please feel free to consult with us. We can surely be of assistance!

Remake a wedding dress from a houmongi (formal visiting kimono)

2025-01-20 15:40:05 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

Happy New Year, though it's quite late!
This year too, I will continue to work hard to deliver results that will make everyone happy.
Thank you for your continued support.
My first post of the year is about a dress for a mother to wear to her daughter's wedding. It was remade from a formal kimono (houmongi).
It features an auspicious pattern of cranes in flight on a soft gray background.
The pattern matching turned out very well, with powerful cranes flying near the neckline.
I understand the wedding is in early February. I'm glad I finished it in time!
Congratulations!

▲The patterns match perfectly

Reversible Hat Made from Coat Remnant Fabric

2024-12-17 16:30:41 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

I created a reversible hat using the leftover fabric from a reversible coat I previously made. It was just enough fabric to make one hat. This is an original Rurimon design.
Since both the coat and the hat are reversible, you can enjoy them in 6 different ways.
After making items like coats, you often have leftover fabric that's not quite enough for another full piece... We welcome your consultations and orders.
No matter how small the piece, fabric that's been handcrafted - you wouldn't want to throw it away, would you?

Remake a blouse from hand-woven Tsumugi kimono fabric

2024-12-10 16:23:04 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

I received a hand-woven Tsumugi kimono fabric and remade it into a lined blouse.
With a sample blouse of the same design and size, it took some time but the tailoring proceeded smoothly.
I was meticulous about the details as always - pattern matching and buttonholes with piped edges - and a lovely blouse jacket was completed!
I heard you have a gathering in January, so I'm really glad it was finished in time!
Wishing you a wonderful New Year.

Remake a coat from hand-woven kimono fabric

2024-12-02 16:46:45 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

I remade a coat from a hand-woven kimono fabric with an orange pattern. This time, the client loved the Rurikon original design, and the sample coat fit perfectly, so I only needed to adjust the sleeve length. I cut and sewed the coat in one go without a preliminary fitting, carefully matching the pattern with precision. I finished the buttonholes with a piped edge. This kimono fabric coat is versatile and can be worn during three seasons except for the height of summer. Of course, since it's silk, it's light and warm. I'm looking forward to delivering this piece.

Remake/upcycle a purple kimono into a dress

2024-10-29 16:36:35 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

I received a beautiful purple kimono and remade it into a dress. Of course, everything from the design to the size was fully customized. Since the kimono had many patterns, I carefully pieced them together to match the designs, and was able to use plenty of the pattern on both sleeves. Even when patterns match well on a kimono, making them align properly when remaking it into Western-style clothing can be quite challenging. I was able to use every part of the kimono without waste, and it turned into a truly wonderful dress! Thank you very much.

▲Actually, I'm carefully piecing together small sections and matching the patterns.

Transform two kimonos into a reversible coat through remaking.

2024-09-23 16:29:11 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

We received two kimonos and remade them into a reversible coat.
This reversible coat will be very useful in the coming season. As it's silk on both sides, it's incredibly light!
Moreover, since it's made from your own two kimonos, it's a one-of-a-kind piece. Both sides have vibrant colors, so you can enjoy wearing it either way.
We chose thin mother-of-pearl buttons for both sides. Selecting buttons is also one of the joys of the process.
The buttonholes are bound on both sides - a true testament to craftsmanship!
Now that we can finally feel the autumn breeze, we're looking forward to the day we can deliver this coat to you.

Remake a long blouse from a ro (sheer silk gauze) kimono.

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

The long blouse remade from a ro kimono, which I've kept you waiting for so long, is finally finished! The lining-free single-layer construction is entirely finished with piping, and the buttonholes are bound. It has a finish unique to fully custom-made items.
The sheer ro kimono fabric is light and cool, perfect for shielding against the summer sun and air conditioning. Of course, you can also layer it, so please enjoy wearing it even when the cool breezes start to blow.
Thank you very much!

Remaking a dress from a tomesode (formal kimono)

2024-08-26 17:01:24 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

A tomesode kimono with large embroidered floral patterns. We will tailor it into a dress in time for the September wedding. By bringing the hem design to the upper body, we've created a very impactful dress. The bag I introduced on the blog the other day was actually made from the obi that matched this tomesode. It's bound to go well together. I'm glad it was ready in time for the wedding! Congratulations!

A kimono with hand embroidery on tsumugi silk

2024-07-07 16:37:51 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

A lovely pattern with hand embroidery on a tsumugi kimono. It features a retro lamp design.
The intricately hand-stitched embroidery can only be described as masterful craftsmanship.
I hear it will be worn for the "Hitori Gatari" (Solo Storytelling) event. It's sure to stand out beautifully on stage!

Remake a long blouse from Kurume kasuri fabric

2024-06-24 14:28:27 | The Kimono Remake Diary

Hello, this is the kimono remake and kimono reform service in Yokohama Aobadai.『gallery/rurimon』

I have received a piece of Kurume kasuri fabric and remade it into a long blouse.
Kurume kasuri is a traditional craft that has been loved for many years due to its beautiful patterns and high practicality. Although machine-woven fabrics have become more common recently, the piece I received is an impressive hand-woven one with a distinctive pattern.
Being made of cotton, it is highly durable and resistant to washing. It is said to retain its color well even after long-term use and develop a richer texture over time.
Furthermore, it has excellent breathability, making it particularly comfortable to wear in the summer.
It's perfect for the rainy season! Although it's a humid time of year, please enjoy wearing this garment comfortably. CopyRetry

▲Distinctive pattern

▲The pattern matching was perfectly aligned both in front and back.
