The chirimen crepe red lining is a telltale sign of the age of the kimono. In excellent condition, considering the age is near (if not past) 100 years. Black background and the pattern is bronzy gold and silver.
Thick padding at the hem for weight and swoosh as the bride slid her feet lightly across the tatami. Some very slight wear on the padding -- still quite wearable but certainly a showpiece for any collection.
Slightly smaller than usual by about two inches in length, width, and waist.
