Ai Love Kimono part 3

After diving a little deeper into the styles of dress, there are embedded details that might even ascertain certain things about the person wearing the kimono. Such details could include marital status and even profession. As a formal dress, I was intrigued by these details.

The cost for such grand clothing is unexpectedly higher than I would have thought. A set will include the dress itself, socks, sandals and undergarments. A number of other accessories can be added to the tally with great cost to the prospective buyer. These traditional well crafted pieces can fetch a very high price in the tens of thousands of dollars. In today’s society however, there is a shift in culture and not everybody will wear a kimono for a specific occasion nor do they have the resources to spend so much on a grand dress. Instead there are alternative machined dresses that are far more generous on a bank account. Exploring the styles of kimono is an exciting world of colour and craftsmanship.
