Bright and dazzling yellow background suggests that this kakeshita was designed for the summer season.

Irises are in bloom and they arch from one sleeve to the other, drawing the eye across the shoulders.

The florals are backed by cloudlike plumes of leaves, with more blossoms gathered at the hemline, almost like a garden, to provide balance and visual "weight" to the gown.

Deep red lining peeks out at the hem and sleeves, just enough to provide a flash of color when the bride moves.
