Description
I was looking through my galleries for Halloween costume ideas and remembered that I made this PVC Kimono 5 years ago!I was invited to perform at a goth industrial club in Atlanta on New Year's Eve and the theme was Asian for the night. I had a ton of black PVC vinyl and red brocade at home so I designed and made this Kimono. The underbust corset replacing a traditional Obi was also already around, so I altered it and added the tassles and strings.
This is a simple but cute outfit that I have used for multiple promotions and events. At least 4 different models have worn this at one point. I love kimono sleeves and their double function as giant pockets.

This is gorgeous! I love the details on the borders and the overall look. I have a thing for altered/fetish kimono-esque designs. xD
Gorgeous shoes too!

You practically have to weigh down the sleeves to keep them from flopping sometimes.

Cool!! Love black and red together, it's visually very striking to me. And a vinyl kimono...heee. I like!
Like the hair sticks too, actually.

Very sexy.
Though one of these days I'd like to do a piece of one of those 12-layered JΕ«nihitoe Robes made out of latex and rubber layers.
It'd be heavy but...I'd love to see it become reality some day.

yourew wonderful! but you put the kimono in the wrong way, you must always fold the right part first against your bust and then fold the other part (sorry for my bad english)
but pvc kimono and corset = OMG SO PRETTTYYYY and black and red win also XD

I love the idea that you hide the pockets in the sleeves. That's just terrific.

Cool
Just an FYI for the future I think you're wearing the kimono backwards because the left side is supposed to cross over the right side

How hard is it to sew PVC fabric? Or brocade, for that matter? o3o

PVC is not that hard to sew but you need a teflon foot really. Brocade depends on the weight. Honestly, I hate sewing velvet the most out of everything lol.

Does velvet fray a lot? I had this white fabric that had stripes of lace in it, and pretty as it was, it frayed so much we couldn't do anything with it.

Very cool costume. Seems like Neo-oriental fetish fits this a little more. That outfit is totally non-conservative.

I agree with you on the functionality of the Kimono's sleeves, I'm taking a class in November to make corsets and planning a project to make a kimono...
...when I grow up I wanna be like YaYa, lol
