Making the Button Jester Doll

Making the Kimono Lady Doll

The 14” tall Kimono Lady© is understated elegance. Her hair of black grosgrain ribbon recreates the headdress of the famous geisha. Her kimono can reflect the seasons or her mood. Her obi belt should be highly complementary to the kimono fabric. Small dark prints for the kimono are subtle and mature. Bright intense patterns are worn by young women. Her long, thin and flat silhouette makes her ideal for a narrow wall or standing in a duet.
