1950s Stunning silk and Metallic Thread Kimono designer-janice-wainwright A pretty paisley print hasA stunning kimono with a very beautiful print done in a striking combination of a black silk base with metallic silver and copper threads woven through the silk. The design covers the back and runs down each sleeve and across the front. The interior is lined in a brilliant silk that has a strong curved pattern of reds, creams and pinks through the upper half and sleeves. The work is very fine and it is just so unusual. You can wrap these and belt them
