Happy Customer! / AnnaNiponica's Winter Time Sale

















I received an email with beautiful photos from the customer who just had a wedding last month. She chose this gorgeous red uchikake kimono for her dress, and it came out amazing with a vivid blue wavy pattern and white cranes!






















I like the combination of her beautiful bouquet with the bridegroom's corsage, perfect match! Her matching hair corsage is also made of the uchikake kimono.



They had a wedding in Okinawa, and it was a beautiful sunny day! She looks stunning in her wedding dress, too! I am so happy that I could work on her kimono dress! Thank you very much!
























As for our Winter time sale, only for International customers (anyone who lives outside Japan) , is the biggest and the last offer of this year. Please check out for details from top page of our website. Thank you!

Happy Customer from America! :)




I have to say that this is one one the most beautiful Uchikake Kimonos I have ever seen. I absolutely fell in love with the pattern- gorgeous cranes and pretty small flowers splashed on a vivid red kimono. I especially liked the black shades and wanted to use them as effectively as possible when remaking into a dress.





and....







This is how it came out!
I have recently received these beautiful photos from the customer, and I was totally amazed to see how gorgeous she actually looks!














She told me that these red and white hair corsages are made by her mother and friend...wow!



















I have had a wonderful time talking to the customer's mother throughout a dressmaking. They live in America and so the wedding was held there. These little cranes you see in the photo are called "Origami", it is a Japanese traditional art of paper folding. I believe that these are for guests' nameplates, sooooooo artistic!




and this is the back style.
As you could see the black shades are exactly in the center of a dress.


















I really like her hairstyle! and another gorgeous hair corsage!!! I am so happy that I could work with her! Thank you!
