Haunted Mansion Kimono

Description

Non-traditional kimono inspired by the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. It features a lace-edged ruffle, soutache braid, and insertion lace. It is fully lined.

This was my final project for my wearable art class. It took me somewhere around 30 hours to construct, but 6 of that was spent on the lace edging on the ruffle. I'm not sure what made me think that lace edging a ruffle was a good idea, but I did it anyways. The insertion lace on the front and the sleeves ate up a fair amount of time too, but the soutache braid was the easiest thing ever, probably because I had the epic braid foot that I borrowed from my professor.

The front of the kimono is cut away, while there's extra fullness in the back, so I need to make a bustle petticoat to go under it. The lining and the exterior fabric are actually the same fabric in different colors (the lining is white-shot grey and the exterior is black-shot green) and the same fabric I used for my Pink Swirls Dress.

(Please forgive the crappy photo. This was taken before I turned it in, and was snapped quickly. Once I get it back, I plan to take much better pictures.)
