Above and right and below is a suit I designed 30 years ago, out of Uchikake material---I had only one method--STOP wearing crap made of the world's ugliest materials from manufacturers and designers. I would ONLY wear clothes made of wonderful materials--in this case:
1) stretch thin nylon polyester---breathes stretches comfortable
2) uchikake wedding kimono---weave on print--nothing like it elsewhere--yellow such kimonos are rare, yellow with red and gold and purple decor even rarer.
This suit has NO FEATURES---I was beginning and all I knew was stupid Western symmetry and such. The ONLY good thing is great materials---stretch athletic breathe-ables with uchikake kimono patches. Everything else about this suit disgusts me---yet the suit as a whole is very comfortable and showy and lovely to wear---the standards of the world from couture houses are sooooooooooo verrrrrrrrrry low.
A dog turd would design better stuff--just do google search for French Waistecoats circa 1700, 1750, 1800 and seek the ladies dresses then------fantastic amounts and types of sewing that blow away the "easy" prints that Italy has fallen so venally in love with.
