Thanks all - never - that is genius... I could move the beads up the string - tie a knot and cut off the rest! Clever! I also think you're right in that it will settle with wear and with washing some of the starchiness will come out. I think I'll keep and see how it works. I agree with soy that the neutral colour with the embroidery is very nice. But as always, huff carries it off much better than me!

The scarves would definitely work as sarongs/ shawls too - they are about 2m x 1m, so easily wide enough - the turquoise one is v thin cotton, and the other is the same material as the kimonos - modal/ viscose.

huff - all of yours look lovely! The green one especially -and the print of the shorter one looks really pretty. I don't think they look too wide at all. I know what you mean about the length though. Mine sort of falls back and does just cover my bum - I'm 5'6 too - but i think I have a high bum (short body?)

binky Yes. Yes it is a bad, bad thread. I never thought I needed a kimono.

Omg @Huffthepuff the longer kimono looks amazing on you! 🤩🤩 I love it!

The scarves are beautiful Not and I love the size of them. Can't stand small scarves! Great idea about shortening the weirdly long strings of the bolero
You look fantastic in all of your pics 🤗 love that colour on you (the blue/green one). And for the record the bolero looks far better on you than me, fact. Could it work with the khaki green Toast skirt we both got in the sales? And a fitted black top underneath?

In fact I'm going to get one for my friend for her 40th birthday at the end of this month. They are so lovely. I want one too but can't quite decide between Huff's and Never's

Ps @NotAnActualSheep I love yours too. Is yours a hundred stars one?

Oh @Ellapaella you have to get one of the long ones, you'd love it. Would really suit you. Would work over your boyfriend jeans and just a casual top. It's so you. The fabrics aren't shiny so although it's a dramatic shape, it falls beautifully and doesn't look over the top

sheep do you want me to refer a friend at Aurora?

Thanks huff! I definitely think the colours would work with the green skirt. Not sure about the length/ shape, but worth a go! (I'm loving that skirt by the way...).

ella That's a lovely idea for a present! Yes, mine is this one.

I may just have ordered the burgundy version of huff's that nink ordered too. Using the NEY95 code this time for 10% off, so the shipping was effectively free.

I'm sure the one hundred stars customer service people must be wondering what has hit them this week 🤣

I think I may also treat myself to a longer one. You have really tempted me @Huff. I think you would totally suit that @ella.

I agree, especially since there was another kimono thread and others were buying from onehundredstars!!!
Its a beautiful present @ella. I think I will get my MIL a scarf. They are so beautiful. For all that they are large prints they are just not in your face.

Aaaaargh soups!!! Thanks, but I really shouldn't.... But it wouldn't hurt I suppose (DM was asking for an idea for my birthday, which was last month, but still...). I'll pm my email address?

Me too Not! It's been so useful, really happy I ordered it. The bolero might not work with it at all, just trying to justify it 😂

@Laska2meryls - hope everything is good today. Not see you on :)

Go for it @neveradullmoment99 ! I adore the shorter one you ordered. The colours are just beautiful and it really suits your colouring

How long is the longer one? its hard to see in your picture. Is very long? It looks fantastic on you.

I have an extreme weakness for boho chic!!! [ Having spent my teens and twenties in hippy gear]

@huff 🙌 high five! Amazing kimonos, the long one is scrumptious on you 😍
@ella I have the same one as @not in the short version 👍

We’re turning Japanese I think we’re turning Japanese I really think so!
DH told me to keep them all 🤣

It's above the knee Never. Not too long. The waist tie is attached and not removable, so not just through loops like a dressing gown. I won't use them so I've tied them off at the back

@never 🙋🏻‍♀️And me! Even DH!
Friends used to call him the hippy disguised as a biker. It’s good because he always enables my boho purchases

Oooh that sounds perfect @Huff. Off to purchase.

I think we are turning Japanese lol..... [ I remember that song so well!!]

Yes @huff that’s exactly the reason I loved the long one I bought as a dressing gown, no chance of losing the belt! Genius!

Better pics

Its ordered. I didn't take much convincing did I???

It is GORGEOUS on you!!! I am so glad I have ordered it. Thanks so much for the pics!!!

Totally gorgeous @huff
