Vintage Wedding Kimono

I was fortunate (to say the least) to find this lovely vintage wedding Kimono online and was in awe of its beauty.  But the photo that prompted me to buy this Kimono certainly didn't do it justice.  Before it arrived I had all intentions to upcycle it but once I saw just how amazing it is I'm now reconsidering.

Here's the front....it's so long I had to stand on a stool.  I'm 160cms, the stool is 30cms and it's still dragging on the floor!

And here's the back in all its glory - wow - wow - wow!

The hem of the Kimono is stuffed with wadding and the cranes are all beautifully embroidered.  It's made from textured silk in red, gold, orange, yellow, black and white.  When I opened the package and saw the colours the first thing I thought of was 'I love a sunburnt country'.  It's so Japanese but so Australian in colour.  It would look a.m.a.z.i.n.g, hanging on someone's wall as a decorative piece of art.  If you're interested in purchasing this let me know.
