Kimono remake silk skirt Oshima Tsumugi balloon skirt

This skirt is made from patchwork of two types of Oshima Tsumugi. Two types of Oshima in dark colors. The unique glossy texture of Oshima Tsumugi creates a luxurious feel. Random tucks and darts are placed at the waist to create a soft, flared hip line. This balloon skirt has a bud-like shape and tapers towards the hem. There is thick elastic in the waist, so it feels comfortable and stable whether you wear it high on the waist or on your hips. The calm colors make it easy to match with other items, but it is also a unique piece that stands out. You can also wear it for formal occasions such as parties and ceremonies. It is made from a single piece of thin silk, so you can wear it all year round, with tights in winter and by itself in summer. There is no distinction between front and back, so you can wear whichever part you like in front. Oshima Tsumugi is a traditional fabric from Amami Oshima and is one of the three major textiles in the world. It is an extremely valuable fabric that takes many years of manual work by many artisans to make just one bolt of fabric. Its characteristics are that it is thin and light, yet tightly woven and very durable. Although most of them are muted colors, they have a soft shine and presence like black pearls. This wonderful technology will eventually disappear if there are no more people to carry it on.
