This top is made from a vintage Shibori 絞りKimono, a traditional hand tie-dye technique.
Traditionally, Kimonos are constructed from narrow bolts of silk that are cut into eight 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 size changes. This method of construction does not produce any waste. As a nod to this zero-waste philosophy, this top is made using the sleeves and features a v-neck in front and back.
