Скачать или смотреть Turning a Vintage Kimono into a Modern Dress | Elegant Upcycling Transformation

In this video, I transform a vintage cream silk kimono — hand-painted with delicate butterflies — into an elegant A-line panel dress with a matching quilted handbag for my client, Akemi.

This project celebrates the art of upcycling, craftsmanship, and the beauty of transformation — both in fabric and design. You’ll see the full process, from deconstructing the kimono to creating the final look, along with sewing tips for working with silk.
