Kimonos

[CheshireChav]

Someone on here linked to website selling really unusual funky kimono
type things? Anyone any idea what it was?

I'm looking for a mid thigh length kimono/open shirt/beach cover type thing to wear over a vest and leggings or a vest and denim shorts

Any thoughts?

One hundred stars?

I like the look of their dressing gowns.

That is the very sight .. Thankyou 🤩

I have two of the One Hundred Stars kimonos - absolutely love them!

Ooooh, they're lovely. Might order a couple myself. I'm quite tall and a size 14-16 - are they quite roomy, or do they come up small?

They are roomy. I am a 18-20 and they fit me fine.

Yep, lovely and floaty, plenty of room in them. Although as a shortie I end up dangling my sleeves in the sink if i'm not careful

I love One Hundred Stars kimono's, beautiful fabric and so easy to wear. I feel smart without even trying.

Thanks @TheWoollybacksWife .. I've just ordered a 'throw over' 😊

Mumsnet used to do occasional discount codes for them. I have my eye on a new one but was hoping for a deal

They are beautiful. Would they drown a size 10 person?

Review time - I've ordered three and they just arrived:

Throwover - this is like a longer kimono - very roomy and comfortable on my size 16-18 / 6ft body - love it!

Robe - I can still wear this, but it's definitely suited to a smaller body frame - the arms are a little short and it doesn't have a lot of extra room in it. Would be fine for a size 10-12, I think.

Duster coat - again - I can still wear this, and it's lovely and swishy so I really like it, but sleeves shorter and thinner (I'll wear them unbuttoned and rolled up) so would be suitable for a smaller body frame.

Didn't get any of the actual mini kimonos but I imagine they would be similar to the throwover, but the shorter length would make them more flattering for a smaller frame.

The fabric is very light and delicate and the prints are lovely.

I realise in my first post I said I was 14-16 - that was definitely a typo!
