Furisode are also worn for weddings, recitals, receptions, and other celebrations calling for formal attire. Note the long sleeves (furi = long, sode = sleeves) sometimes called "butterfly sleeves", which flow with grace when she gestures, attracting male attention!This furisode features a pretty pink ombre - darker at the hem and sleeves with a mix of florals and butterflies. Wonderful shading and attention to detail plus lots of gold leaf. See video below on this technique.
