■About the product What is "Mitate Ryoi" double v-neck summer kimono dress... It is a one-piece dress that is made with cool fabric and easy to wear. It is named “Ryoui,” meaning a light and cool garment inspired by a yukata. ・Made using Chizimi Cotton 20/20 Circulor washing-processed fabric by Sakao Orimono. “20/20” refers to fabric woven with 20-count yarn for both the warp and the weft. About the texture: Similar to shirt-weight fabric suitable for year-round wear. (The higher the yarn count, the finer the yarn and the thinner the fabric.) ・Dyed with Kyoto Stencil Yuzen Dyeing technique. ・Double-layered collar design. ・Elastic band is threaded through the waist to give a sense of sharpness and smartness. (There is a hole for replacing the elastic band) ・2 side pockets ・As this item is made with a single layer, if you are concerned about sheerness, we recommend wearing an inner layer such as a petticoat. ※Pattern placement will vary from piece to piece due to the manufacturing process. Customers cannot specify the print. ※Since it is a Kyoto Stencil Yuzen Dyeing (Hand-printed) product, there may be some deviation in shape, but it is a feature of dyeing. ※Due to the nature of the dyeing process, uneven color or fading may occur. ※As a characteristic of Kyoto Stencil Yuzen Dyeing, the fabric is printed by repeating the stencil on a plain fabric. As a result, lines called "Katakuchi" may inevitably appear at places where the stencil joins.
＞About Katakuchi 【About Chizimi Cotton】 ・Produced in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, with a long history dating back to the Edo period. Strongly twisted weft yarn creates a distinctive crepe texture that feels cool and breathable. ・Because the textured surface reduces contact with the skin and allows moisture to evaporate easily, it is said to lower the perceived temperature by about 2°C. ・Excellent sweat absorption, quick-drying, breathability, moisture absorption, and moisture release properties. ・Takashima chizimi cotton, which has benefited from the natural resources of Lake Biwa, boasts the highest production in Japan.
