Tai and Tsubame ~ Rurouni Kenshin
About the Costumes
These were made for Dotta and I. We wanted to make kimonos that were authentic to the show. So I got some fabric from Denver Fabrics and made the kimonos. I then handed them off to Dotta so that she could stripe them with pencil. Once that was done we took our kimonos and each one of them striped them with permenate rub-a-dub sharpies. I know I went through about five of them. Then I made the aprons with a little help from my mother on the frilly strap part. I also made the obis which were tied by our friend Heather.
