BJD kimono - "Madame Butterfly" Geisha Furisode

This is stunningly beautiful very formal doll kimono set for real geisha.

Kimono set includes:
1. Blue formal silk kimono with dyed flowers and gosho-guruma .
2. Pretied obi with butterfly (textile).
3. Obijime with golden thread.
4. Obiage shibori pattern.
5. Two cotton ties.

This fantastic kimono ensemble I made from the real Japanese girl's kimono decorated with hand painted flowers and embroidered gosho-guruma (imperial carriage). It’s exquisite and very elegant garment for doll. This kimono has padded bottom like real very formal kimonos have.

I have used for sewing the most beautiful hand painted parts of vintage girl's kimono. It’s impossible to make another kimono like that. It is only one on the world.

The red obi is made from real girls obi, pink ribbon and textile butterfly decoration. It's pretied obi so it is easy to put on. Obiage tie was made from real Japanese red obiage, shibori pattern. Obijime is decorated with golden thread.

The kimono set is demonstrated on my lovely doll Sokuto (Scout/Granado 68 cm).
It fits 74~63 cm boy and girl dolls perfectly: SD, SD16, SD17, Luts SSD, Iplehouse EID and SID, other large BJD. For smaller dolls to adjust the length make a fold on the waist (under the obi). Don't worry - this is a traditional way of kimono wearing.

My kimonos are vintage. All materials I'm using are authentic vintage kimono fabrics from Japan. Obi are made from real obi, obiage are made from real obiage.

BJD Kimono - Black Formal Furisode

This fantastic black kimono ensemble I made from the real very formal Japanese tomesode with hand painted flowers and phoenix. The pattern is rich and exquisite, decorated with embroidered shining silver threads.
I don't have other vintage kimono like this so it’s absolutely impossible to reiterate presented doll kimono. It is only one on the world.

The silvery obi is made from real obi. It's pretied obi so it is easy to put on. Obi has Sunrise Drum bow for ceremonial and formal wear. Additional white rose decoration you can put on or remove it if you want.

This beautiful very formal kimono set includes:
1. Black formal furisode kimono with chrysanthemums and phoenix.
3. Pretied silver obi.
4. Obijime hand braided with decoration.
5. Obiage shibori pattern.
6. Two cotton ties.

The kimono set is demonstrated on 68 cm doll (Scout/Granado).
It fits 74~63 cm boy and girl dolls perfectly: SD, SD16, SD17, Luts SSD, Iplehouse EID and SID, other large BJD. For smaller dolls to adjust the length make a fold on the waist (under the obi). Don't worry - this is a traditional way of kimono wearing.

My kimonos are vintage. All materials I'm using are authentic vintage kimono fabrics from Japan. Obi are made from real obi, obiage are made from real obiage. Obijime is hand braided using Japanese kumihimo braiding disc.

For me it takes few weeks or even a month to create a kimono set for the doll. So I have just few items to sell. I think they are some kind of beautiful art, not just ordinary things to sell.

BJD Kimono Royal Blue

This Royal Blue formal kimono set includes two fully lined kimonos. Your doll can wear them like one ensemble or like two individual kimonos. Or two dolls can wear these kimonos separately. The blue kimono is reversible.

My kimonos are vintage. All materials I'm using are authentic vintage kimono fabrics from Japan. Obi are made from real obi, obiage are made from real obiage. Obijime is handmade using Japanese kumihimo disc for braiding.

The kimono set is demonstrated on 62,5 cm doll Haru (Abadon/Luts). Thank you my dear friend Countess Audronasha [link] for borrowing your doll and taking photos. Thank you awesome boy Haru for posing so nicely.

This kimono fits 69~62 cm boy and girl dolls perfectly: SD, SD16, SD17, Luts SSD and SD, Iplehouse EID and SID, other large BJD. For smaller dolls to adjust the length make a fold on the waist (under the obi). Don't worry - this is a traditional way of kimono wearing.

The main kimono has rich royal blue color and it is variegated with hand painted flowers. Silk. I have paid a big attention to the collar – it is decorated with red braid. The lining is vivid colorful silk fabric from other outer kimono. As all seams are hidden inside, you can easily reverse this kimono and tadam! – you have absolutely different ensemble!

There is white inner kimono as well. It has woven pattern in traditional Asian style. White kimono is decorated with tiny golden stitches and small silver beads. So you can wear it not only like nagajuban (underwear) but as ornate outer kimono as well.

Pre-tied silvery obi is easy to put on. It is made from real girl's obi. It has small pattern so it fits for doll. Obi band is decorated with flower and pink ribbon.
Obijime is hand-braided. The lucky knot decoration is put on as well.

Doll Briefs Show

I like to sew doll boxers using child socks. They are very stretchy, they have well designed waist with gum threads inside and they have adorable colorful patterns. It is so funny to work making these cute undergarments for my boys.

First I was uploading here the images for my eBay store. But later I have realized this post has become quite interesting BJD boxers' collection. Please enjoy nice Doll Briefs Show!

P.S. All these boxers are sold long ago, but if you are interested - feel free to contact.

Immortality of Soul - Chaos

IMO "Immortality of Soul" is the most exquisite doll’s producer in the world. Their dolls are so stunning it is difficult to find the words to describe them. And they are very limited, and very rare, and very expensive, and... so on...
At first I thought: "They are impossible for me. It’s a waste even to dream about these dolls."
But lately I have a new mind: "Way not? At least I can dream. I can even to buy them. Ne?"



My dream doll is Class 70 - Chaos. I like that face so much. That insolent smile! And the body is perfect.
He resembles Ichimaru Gin from "Bleach".

Update: Well... I have purchased Chaos head + body, new white skin tone. 
Ha-ha-ha!!! Dreams come true!

BJD Kimono with Cranes

This pure silk BJD kimono has beautiful pattern with cranes and flowers. The fabric is very light, bright and colorful. My kimonos are vintage. All materials I'm using are authentic vintage kimono fabrics from Japan.

The kimono is demonstrated on 62,5 cm doll Haru (Abadon/Luts). Thank you my dear friend Countess Audronasha [link] for borrowing your doll and taking photos. Thank you awesome boy Haru for posing so nicely.

This kimono fits 69~62 cm boy and girl dolls perfectly: SD, SD16, SD17, Luts SSD and SD, Iplehouse EID and SID, other large BJD. For smaller dolls to adjust the length make a fold on the waist (under the obi). Don't worry - this is a traditional way of kimono wearing.

This beautiful kimono set includes:
1. Silk kimono with cranes and flowers. It is fully lined with thin rosy silk lining.
2. Bright blue obi.
4. Obijime.
5. Obiage.

This beautiful kimono I have sewn from vintage girl’s kimono. So it has very bright colorful pattern. The rosy silk lining was taken from the same kimono. It is like I made a small copy of previous original kimono. The obi is not pretied this time. You can tie it in many ways following your fantasy.

For me it takes few weeks or even a month to create a kimono set for the doll. So I have just few items to sell. I think they are some kind of beautiful art, not just ordinary things to sell.

This beautiful kimono set was sold on eBay.
