Vintage Silk Kimono - Chirimen Silk Vintage Japanese Kimono Robe H1099
Hand stitched by kimono makers in Japan.   This is a women's robe and it is fully lined.   It's chirimen silk, slightly spongy from twists in the weave.  This type of silk is coveted because it resists wrinkles but it has a rougher texture than a satin or damask weave.     The exterior is clean and without marks or holes.
The fabric has a mixed floral pattern in two shades of brown, gold, blue and green.
The lining is white silk (upper) and ivory silk with a shaded edging (lower).  The lining is clean so it is possible that this kimono is unworn.

Measures 52" from sleeve tip to tip and 63" from back neck to the hem.
Chest is 48", hip is 48", sleeve length from shoulder seam to wrist is 12.5" and the drop from the shoulder to the bottom edge is 18.25".
Kimono are very long because in Japan they take a horizontal tuck at the waist and wrap the fabric with the obi to keep it in place.
Properly wrapped this would fit about a size 10-12-14 but you could wear it overlapped more loosely or completely open over pants.
You can also display this backwards on the wall with a rod and open the bottom in a fan shape to get a full view.
