I was sad though, as beautiful as they were I'm technically too old to wear one. T_T

[rolls eyes] You're also 188cm tall and of European descent. What-ever! Papa says you should wear what makes you happy!

Mama agrees. I have no idea where you heard that "age limit" on kimono, but it's probably about as accurate as rules about not wearing white shoes after Labor Day. I don't know a single person in Japan who thinks twice about middle-aged or even married women wearing furisode, so I'd say wear what you want! Probably the only people who would actually care about you being "too old" to wear a furisode would be the type of people who would choke on their bile at the thought of Disney or polka-dot kimonos as well. You've already professed liking "modern trends" in kimono, so you might as well go the whole way.

What a gorgeous obi piece!!! beautiful flowers... alice_anyone January 26 2007, 17:49:10 UTC

Good to hear that kimono style is going the way of white shoes rules! I am sad to only wear black and navy kimono because I am an old lady... -_-

Wah! How did cute guys get vetoed!!! What was more important than cute guys! -priorities-, people! LOL

I know this is an old post, but how do you like that Mamechiyo book? Is it good? Lots of pictures?

Wow! Old post is old! lol I love both of my Mamechiyo books. =D Kimono ala mode is more coordinate oriented where as Mamechiyo's Kimono Modern is a bit more how to.

This past new years I picked up this book --> http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%9F%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3%E3%81%A7%E7%9D%80%E7%89%A9-%E7%B6%BF%E3%83%BB%E9%BA%BB%E3%83%BB%E3%82%86%E3%81%8B%E3%81%9F-%E3%82%84%E3%81%BE%E3%82%82%E3%81%A8%E3%82%86%E3%81%BF/dp/4766119010/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254374256&sr=1-12

in Japan, it is also very Mamechiyo and comes with a sewing pattern.
