#143 Japanese Michiyuki - Misses Extra Small (6-8) to 2XL (26-28)
This three-quarter length kimono-style jacket originated in the 20th century
as an over-kimono coat that was worn for extra warmth and/or protection which
out and about. Its low , square neckline was designed to attractively
frame the overlapping neckbands of the kimono and under-kimono worn underneath.
Today, the Michiyuki is also worn as a dressy overcoat, casual coat-dress,
and artist's or work smock, perfect for studio or garden tasks. Lengthened
and made out of water-repellent fabric, it also functions as a raincoat.
The pattern features a double-breasted front opening, kimono style sleeves
that are large enough to fit over a kimono underneath, narrow neck band with
mitered corners, and a hand pocket hidden in the front seam. Covered
buttons are purely decorative; snap fasteners attach the overlapping center
fort panels, so no buttonholes are needed.

FW#151 Japanese Hakama & Kataginu Hakama for men and women - $14.95
All sizes
based on waist measurement. Kataginu in one size.
During the Edo period in Japan (1615-1868), members of the samurai or warrior
class wore the Kamishimo, a traditional costume made up of the Kataginu or
pleated-front vest and Hakama or pleated pants/skirt. The two garments were
typically worn over a knee-length kimono for formal occasions. Today, the
garments are frequently worn for official occasions, martial arts, and historic
reenactment.
This pattern gives you complete instructions for cutting and pleating the
traditional Hakama in any size and includes pattern pieces for Small,
Medium-Large, and Sumo-Size Koshiita (Backboard) and Koshiita Triangles.
For contemporary sportswear, pattern also includes instructions for optional
side panels to fill in the side-seam gaps that expose the underlying kimono
in traditional wear.

linen blends; ramie; hemp; silks, including shantung, habotae, pongee, satin,
