Here's something slightly different from what I post here. It's not finished yet. Just drapped on the mannequin so you can have an idea. ☆ Did you know that Brazil has the biggest Japanese and Okinawan colonies in the world? 🇧🇷🇯🇵 Japan and Brazil has a long-term relationship and it was working with kimonos that I first started being obsessed with folk and historical garments at age 16. Now at 36 to be able to work with them again is just amazing. 🙏💖 #kimono #costumedesign #winteropera #madamabutterfly #operacostume #振袖 #furisode #costurahistorica #figurino #historicsewing #figurinista #brazilianbaroness #brazilianhistory (at Winter Opera St. Louis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaPWDuouLbc/?utm_medium=tumblr
