Rie’s Story 1

These two kimono came from the same woman who is over 80 years old. She is a customer at my work place. She gave me them when I told her that I started to learn kimono wearing. The size was good for me and very they are very comfortable to wear. I realized I was given good kimono. The blue kimono came to me first. And this is the first kimono of my kimono life. When I go out with this kimono, many elderly women said that they liked kimono. I often wear it with flower embroidery on an off-white colored obi.

The orange one, I had no idea what kind type of obi would match this kimono when I saw it at a glance. When I wear regular clothes, I always pick plain colored ones, I never wear bold patterned items like this kimono. I asked the young kimono shop staff and she picked a black obi out for me. When I go out in this kimono and the black obi, many young people said they like it.

2枚とも同じ方からいただきました。勤め先のお客様で80代の女性です。着付けを習い始めたことをその方にお話したら持ってきてくださいました。サイズがぴったりで着やすく、着ていて気持ちがいいので、良いものをいただいたと思っています。

青い着物の方を先にいただきました。私の着物生活の第一歩めとなった記念すべき着物です。これを着て出かけると、年配の方によくほめて頂きます。この着物にはクリーム地に花の刺繍の帯を合わせています。

オレンジ色の着物のほうは、一目見たときどうすればいいかわかりませんでした。私は洋服のときは無地が多く、こういった大胆な柄の着物に合わせる帯はどんなものがよいのか分からず、着物屋さんに相談したところ黒い帯を選んでくれて、そのコーディネートがとても気に入っています。

こちらの着物を着て出かけると、若い人にかっこいいとほめて頂くことが多いです。
