For my Wedding one of my bridesmaids wore a wedding kimono I made for her. I still 
have it. You are welcome to come over some evening and look at it and the patterns I 
used. I have made a multitude of japanese garments for my husband and my sca brother 
Chuji. Let me know if I can help. 214-268-2208 - Plano,Tx.
