It's kimono time!

It seems like forever ago I actually had a kimono/yukata for each of my girls.... of course that was when I only had FIVE girls. I always wanted to have a kimono for each of them but soon after my 7th and 8th daughters arrived, my source for kimonos suddenly dried up. So I was left to fend for myself and try to find them elsewhere.

 

Then my maid outfit fascination took over and I wound up putting all my energy into getting those for each girl. After that goal was achieved, I suddenly found myself wanting to start getting kimonos again.

 

Luckily, my source for the kimonos finally returned and filled my order for 4 kimonos that were owed me since LAST XMAS. Yeah, almost 9 months in waiting for them..... kinda like Saber!

 

But just like Saber, the wait was worth it because these turned out to be beautiful! You saw a sneak peek of the ones Elisabeth and Sango got already but now you get to see them modeling their outfits! And as a bonus, I'm also sharing Mashiro and Yukino in their kimonos! Please enjoy!

It seems Sango found a basket and new friend.

Mashiro is really excited have a kimono of her own.

These two look like they are ready to go to a summer festival!

"This kimono is very nice Papa. The obi even matches my hair and eyes."

"Plus, the fabric is extremely well made. I love the dragons in it."

E - "Show them the back of your obi Sango!"

 

S - "Oh yeah, the back has a nice bow."

E - "Lookit mine next! Look!"

 

Elisabeth is also super excited about her kimono.

"See how mine is the same as Sango's but different? I have yellow and pink dragons! They're so cool!"

 

DSC_7486 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"And I have a pretty bow on my belt too!"

 

DSC_7487 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

Well, I'm glad you two like your outfits.

 

S - "Thanks again Papa."

 

E - "Yes! Thanks Papa!"

M - "Me next! Me next!"

 

Y - "Wow, you're all sorts of amped up aren't you?"

 

DSC_7490 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

M - "Of course! I've wanted a kimono for like ever!"

 

Y - "Hee hee, well now you have a nice one to show off!"

 

M - "I know right?"

"Just look at the lovely bamboo patterns! And the salmon color is so nice!"

 

DSC_7492 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"And the obi has sakura branches on it with blooms!"

 

DSC_7494 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"I even have a place for my tail to come out! I'm so happy I can show it off instead of hiding it under my dresses!"

 

DSC_7495 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

I like the details on this obi a lot. It not only has another sakura blossom on it but it has a few dragonflies attached.

"And did you notice the obi matches my eyes? Isn't that awesome?"

 

It does match pretty well, that's cool for sure.

 

DSC_7502 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"I'm so happy with it Papa! Thank you!"

 

DSC_7503 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

Ok Yukino, now it's your turn.

 

"Cool! I like this kimono, the feel and fit is way nice!"

 

DSC_7504 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"It has some really flowery patterns in it but they're still pretty."

 

DSC_7505 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"I also like this color since it almost matches my eyes perfectly."

 

DSC_7506 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"And the obi has sparklies all over it!"

 

DSC_7507 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"I also have a cool bow on the back."

 

DSC_7508 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"I'm really happy we finally got these."

 

DSC_7510 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

Alright you bunch of cuties, let's line up so I can see all of you together.

 

DSC_7511 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

M - "Can the camera handle this much cuteness?"

 

Y - "I think the camera can but I doubt Papa can..."

 

S - "True, he seems to be bleeding again already."

 

E - "Don't worry Papa! Pan-kun will make you feel better!"

Your girls all look really lovely in their Kimonos. They were indeed worth the wait. :3

Boy is Mashiro all kinds of excited about her kimono or what? That's great to see her so happy and I think the cutout for her tail was a great touch. All of your girls look so nice. Now you just need what, five more?

 

Back on Mashiro though, I wonder if her excitement about this would get my kitsune all excited about having a kimono with a cutout for her tail? Sadly I doubt it as she seems to prefer REALLY big tail cutouts. It's worth a try reading this to her though right?

Nice to see them wearing something I know you've been waiting so long for! It's exasperating, but quite worth the wait, they're gorgeous!

WOW!!! They are all so beautiful. I have to say that my favorite of the kimonos is Yukino's blue floral pattern, but all of them are lovely and go so well with the girls. It was well worth the wait, both for the kimonos and then for the pictures. Sango looks too precious with Pan-kun.

Thank you very much!

Yes! She was super excited about this because she likes the traditional look of the kimono and I made sure she had a tail hole so she could show off her tail and not crush it under the robes. I'm really glad you liked this since you have two kitsune to clothe. Thank you.

 

All of your girls look so nice. Now you just need what, five more?

 

Thank you sir! And no, I only need one more kimono to complete the family. Sprout will need one but it's hard to find mostly white ones....

That's a possibility so I'd show Kitsune and see what she thinks. The hole on Mashiros kimono is very small but thats because she doesnt have her tail permanently attached like Kitsune does. So I see why she would need a bigger hole in her clothes.

Thank you very much! I also really like Yukino's kimono, the colors and patterns fit with her well. Pan-kun is pretty popular now.... Sango likes him but I think he may go to Reiko eventually.

I can never let Kimberly see this when she arrives. She'll be demanding I get her one as well. They look amazing.

They Look so Pretty, I hope i can buy a kimono for my girls soon XD

They look amazing. I'd love to see your girls all dressed up in a kimono brigade one day.

Oh, very nice! I love the dragons on Elisabeth's and Sango's. Yukino and Mashiro are looking good too.

Hee hee.... DD's do love their kimonos! Thank you for the compliment.

Thank you very much! You can find kimonos for sale online and thru Etsy. I know a place on Etsy called "Aria Dear" that does pretty nice ones for cheap. The fabrics aren't as nice as these but for like $10 each or less, those on Aria are a pretty good deal.

 

They look amazing. I'd love to see your girls all dressed up in a kimono brigade one day.

 

Thank you! When I finally get the last one I need for Sprout, I'll make sure to do just that! In a day or so I'll be putting up pics of Saber and Reiko in their new kimonos.

 

Oh, very nice! I love the dragons on Elisabeth's and Sango's. Yukino and Mashiro are looking good too.

 

Thank you sir. While I like the ones on Mashiro and Yukino a lot, the brocade dragon ones on Elisabeth and Sango are my faves. Those are just so cool looking in person.

 

 

 

Billy

Aw! They are all lovey in they're kimonos! Beautiful fabrics on all of them.

I look forward to seeing your kimono clad army when you acquire the last one lol

Those kimono are so lovely! They are so detailed. The colors are so beautiful and perfect matches for each girl. Your girls always look spectacular in their kimono and yukata outfits.

Thank you very much! And of course our two girls are lovely, did you think they wouldn't be? I'm really happy with Mashiro's kimono, it worked out to be a perfect match for her eyes and style.

Thank you! I do like the shorter type kimono ( not sure of the proper name either ) and I actually own one of them. It belongs to Miyuki. Here she is wearing it:

And here she is next to some of her sisters in their regular long style kimonos so you can see the difference in length:

Hehe, all your girls are looking great! I must say I adore the one you got for Mashiro though. It's so cute, and then with her tail perfectly fitted for it...gah~ Adorable. x3 Thank you for sharing.

 

...now to make sure no one in my household sees all these pretty kimonos. They'll start asking for some of their own! D:

Ha ha! Good luck with that. DD girls seem to instinctively know when something cute has been posted and seen by their parent or guardian.

 

 

 

Billy

very lovely kimonos you have, I have a few yukatas for my girls now, and I already find them to be too much pain in the rear to put on.. i can't imagine kimonos... you sure did a great job on them. I bet it took a LONG time to dress all four girls too Fantastic they do look from your hard work

Thank you very much sir! These aren't hard to put on the girls really. They just have two ties on the insides to hold the clothing over. Once you have those tied, the obi really helps hold things together. And I don't have to tie any obi, these are all velcro. So to dress all four of themmaybe took me 20 minutes? Mashiro's took the longest due to her tail having to fit thru a very small hole in the back of her kimono.

 

 

 

Billy

These are beautiful! I think, though, that my favorite is Mashiro's. The purple obi with the Sakura blooms is so cute! But the first two are lovely as well, and that blue one is such a lovely color... Oh now I can't decide which I like best! Very pretty girls in pretty kimonos, thank you for sharing!
