Real kimono are extremely expensive. Plus, why? I like making things. Just buying it would be boring. (Hence the "Costuming Blog" title XD). And I've seen the brocade fabric made into kimono, it's not bad. I won't buy costumes online, ever. I'm a seamstress, why bother? :) Because those AREN’T actual kimono.

VIA ebay. You can purchase one for under $20. That brocade stuff is made in China. Very overpriced to boot, and it looks tacky as a kimono. You can have the real thing for much less. A plain kimono will run you between 10 - 20, and if you buy from CHUU on ebay, you can get shipping within the US. An obi runs a little higher, but I am sure you could snag one for much cheaper then the price of the fabric you'd have to buy. Plus the real thing is so much better. Why not buy an actual kimono?
