Floral Komon Zero Waste Kimono Top

This top is made from a vintage Komon Kimono. Komon 小紋 means small design. They are considered casual and can be worn for every day. The designs vary widely but as a rule, covers the entirety of the Kimono.

Traditionally, Kimonos are constructed from narrow bolts of silk that are cut into seven rectangular pieces, then folded and overlapped to fit the body. At any time, the pieces can be taken apart and sewn back together to accommodate weight fluctuations, or if the Kimono is passed onto another person with different height. This method does not produce any waste. As a nod to this zero-waste philosophy, the Zero-Waste Kimono Dress is made from the sleeves, and features a v-neck in front and back.

This relaxed-fit top features a rounded neckline and fits up to US Ladies size 16
