Takahashi Kimono Kobo Osode-chan

Takahashi Kimono Kobo Osode-chan

I purchased this on the online store last year. I used it once, washed it, and have been storing it since. There are some folding creases, but no stains or other damage, so I believe it's in beautiful condition.

There is no size indicated, but it is likely equivalent to a size L.
Sleeve length (from center back to cuff): approx. 55 cm
Body length: approx. 40 cm

I wore this with a usotsuki eri (fake collar) over it as a summer kimono. It was much cooler than wearing a juban (under-kimono).

Here is the product description:

For yukata and summer kimonos, the most important qualities you seek are coolness and ease of wear, especially when the heat makes it difficult to reach for your clothes.
Because you'll be wearing them in the hot season, you shouldn't have to settle for it can't be helped that it's hot and sticky. That's where Takahashi's Osode-chan, designed for summer, comes in.
Simply wear it over your usual bra top. Made with high-quality cotton柳 (yanagi - willow-patterned fabric) and a short length, it keeps you cool.
This is a completely new type of bolero-style, tube-sleeved garment that lowers the barrier to wearing yukata and summer kimonos.

The main material used is domestically produced, high-quality cotton 柳 fabric.
It offers the gentle feel of cotton, the refreshing sensation of the 柳 fabric's crinkled texture that prevents sticking, its lightness, and excellent moisture absorption.
The sewing also includes a special touch for comfort.
The garment is sewn using the largest possible pieces of fabric, eliminating seams on the back and shoulders. Sewing with large fabric pieces is more time-consuming and difficult, but this approach ensures that seams do not rub against the skin, providing a soft wearing experience that is gentle on skin sensitive from sweat.

Osode-chan is unusual for Takahashi in that it's an undergarment offered in only two sizes.
However, rest assured. Its loose, airy design and the ties at the chest accommodate a wide range of bust sizes. The waist also has a gathered design, ensuring a good fit for everyone from slender individuals to those with a fuller figure.
