Want to create a kimono style dress today?

Create a dress with your specific measurements and color. Each of our dresses is only made once so your dress will truly be one-of-a-kind.

We periodically add dresses of limited sizes and colors to our available collection but we would rather create your dress with the specific colors and sizes that you want.

learn about our dresses

Of all the kinds of dress styles available, why did you choose to create couture kimono style dresses?

1. Each of our dresses are perfect examples of a successful Eastern and Western style collaboration. It combines the structural design elements of the Japanese kimono, creating a modest silhouette, and floral fabrics typically seen on American and European sundresses, creating a feminine and comfortable piece.
2. Our dresses look great on any woman. This is because of the obi-like waist panel cinching the waist, the solid fabric panels that frame the hips, the V-neckline that elongates the neck, and the 3/4th sleeves that flatter the arms.
3. Like a woman, our dresses know how to multi-task!
• They are multi-seasonal: Each dress is breezy and light enough to wear in the spring with flip flops, but you can also wear it through the cooler months by layering it over a turtleneck or wearing it with a scarf and replacing flip flops with tall boots.
• They are multi-functional: Each dress can be worn on semi formal or casual occasions. You can wear it while shopping, doing errands, going on a picnic or on a weekend getaway. You can also wear it to a bridal or baby shower, a graduation, or even a spring garden wedding.
• They are multi-generational: Each dress is age-appropriate for all women. They look cute and flirty on teenagers, effortlessly feminine on young professionals, and modest and classy on women over 40.

What makes your dresses different from other kimono style dresses?

1. Most kimono style dresses use large, geometric prints or shiny fabrics that do not flatter the female form. Our dresses are made with small flowers because small prints are universally flattering to all shapes and sizes. We also never use shiny material.
2. Many kimono style dresses fall above the knee. Our dresses hit right below the knee on most figures to increase overall comfort, wearability, and modesty.

What is the inspiration behind your dresses?

My inspiration came from a lack of options in my personal search for feminine, figure-flattering, modest dresses. I saw the movie, Music and Lyrics, and fell in love with the dress Drew Barrymore wore when she met her love interest. I searched the internet looking for something similar and could not find anything.
