Online tailor-made kimono arrives / ネットでお仕立てきもの到着

I have been looking for hitoe ("one layer" in Japanese) kimono, which is worn in June and September when the weather is hot but not the hottest in Japan.  I wanted a yellow hitoe kimono, and searched for a long time in various shops and internet sites.  Finally, I found one in Gallery An internet kimono shop, run by Baba Kimono Shop in Takamatsu, Shikoku.  Looking forward to wearing this in September.  At the same time, another roll of kimono textile for my husband also arrived.  I love its soft texture, also a good choice.  

9月に着る単衣のきものをずっと探していたが、ギャラリー妟さん(高松の馬場呉服店さん)でようやく好みの黄色い着物を発見。今日到着した。9月に着るのが楽しみだ。同時に主人用に和裁教室で仕立てる川越唐桟も到着。思ったよりもやわらかいしなやかなタッチがお気に入り。
