Little Mio's Hinamatsuri Ensemble

This kimono ensemble was made for my neighbor's daughter. Little Mio is a quarter Japanese, and her family loves to celebrate Japanese traditions. This outfit was created for Hinamatsuri, otherwise known as Girl's Day. I hope this is an ongoing tradition for their family because Mio looks adorable in her outfit!

I included a folded seam in the mid sleeve to be removed as she grows. This kimono will last at least a couple years. I made this set out of nani IRO double gauze fabric, from Japan. It is soft and drapes nicely. For a look at nani IRO fabrics, check out MissMatatabi on Etsy.

The outfit includes a kimono jacket, an obi, wide-leg shorts, a white gathered undershirt, a kanzashi brooch and headband.
