A hand-painted, paradise-like
silk bow tie dress for women made from the highest grade of a Japanese ceremonial kimono, featureing a scene of aegean-blue birds flying among rich foliage and fantastic flowers on a chic background of green mustard silk. The gradient colors change seamlessly from brown to moss green, chartreuse, lime, and ochre.
Such a noble color combination is very unusual for kimono fabric and gives this
pussy bow dress an exeptionally sophisticated and refined look.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Here are a few things to know to keep your beautiful new bow tie dress looking its best:
- Dry clean only
- Silk hates moisture, so keep your piece in a dry space with optimal air circulation allowing it to air out each time you wear it. (read more about storing)
- DO NOT GET WET – silk gets water stains.
- Lightly spraying with a fabric freshener is okay.
- Iron on medium with steam through a cloth.
Please note: All the items in our store are created using vintage pieces that can be over 60+ years old and do have signs of wear. Loose embroidery threads, minor stains, and minimal fading are normal in our garments.
Many of these kimonos have been stored away for years and can still have a slight mothball scent even after our rigorous cleaning process. This usually goes unnoticed but may bother those who are sensitive to those kinds of smells.

We try extremely hard to ensure our photos are as life-like as possible, but please understand the actual color may differ slightly from your monitor. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the color you see on the monitor accurately portrays the true color of the product.
