This Kimono has been such a pleasant surprise!!! It has the look and feel of a very expensive garmet. And OMG, the color is truly luxurious-an expensive looking red anything but ordinary. The inner seams are finished meticulously - it feels like the best imported silk from the orient, but Im hoping it is polyester silk to wear it as much as possible with no concern when being washed. It will also make an excellent costume if desired. I guess you get the idea-I totally love my ruby red kimono
