Design Features That Make This Kimono Special

This isn't just another kimono pattern. The Peony is designed around a single elegant diagonal seam that creates the color block effect — simple to sew, striking to wear.

The open front drapes effortlessly and the batwing-style sleeves give it a flowy, editorial feel. Style it over a bodysuit and wide-leg pants, over a swimsuit at the beach, or layered over a simple dress — the Peony works everywhere.

Fabric Recommendations & Requirements

This pattern works beautifully with lightweight to medium-weight woven fabrics. We recommend rayon challis, viscose, crepe, lightweight linen, cotton voile, or silk blends for best results. Satin works beautifully for a more elevated version. Lightweight knits such as jersey, bamboo knit, or modal also work well.

Note: This pattern requires a minimum fabric width of 55'' (140 cm). It is not suitable for 45'' (114 cm) fabrics.
