Please understand that the pattern placement may differ slightly from the photo due to the cutting position of the fabric. ※ Please note that colors and textures may appear differently on screen compared to the actual product. If you have concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. ※ Many of the kimono fabrics used as materials are secondhand, and their exact composition cannot be identified as they often lack labels. They are thoroughly inspected and processed, including washing, before being remade. Please handle with care, as some fabrics may experience color loss or shrinkage when wet. ※ As this item is also sold on other sites, please accept our apologies should it be out of stock.
