kimono wedding dress and kimono hawaiian shirt

I was looking at Melanie's blog and saw what she put on the site! The Kimono wedding dress is
what I would love to wear on my wedding too! If I had that kind of plan anytime soon.
I looked up who and where they make the dress, her name is Kayo Shimizu and she's located
in Nagoya, Japan. She didn't have a website but she takes custom orders by phone. Her shop
is called 手作り紗絽夢 (TEZUKURI salon meaning hand made salon) She's been doing
this for over 20 years and have fashion shows at department stores in Japan.

I think the Kimono Hawaiian shirt is so cute too! I've seen many that the fabric and pattern
didn't quite do it for me but this one is great! He has a shop online and his is all made by
special order. Satomu Furutani makes other things too! Like cases for Nintendo DS.
It's great!! I want a cell phone case like that. This guy's located in Nagoya too. The wallet's
so cute, how the inside is also kimono shows the Japanese side of considering all the small
details.

Hi!

Thanks for the link to my blog. In answer to your question, Dejavu is a book, I've put the ISBN up in reply to your comment. It's by a Japanese publisher - if you have trouble getting a copy, I can see if they still have a copy at my local bookstore. I have a few more pictures up from it at;

Love your blog too by the way! We seem rather likeminded. Want to do a link swap?
