|
Kimono silk robes can be thigh length, knee length, or mid calf length. The most romantic gift possible to the most important person in your life is a kimono silk robe. The luxury these robes imply is greatly envied. The short thigh length kimono silk robes are captivating and fun. They are for women who enjoy walking around in style in the comfort of her own home. They scream out sexy yet playful. It is a perfect gift for a bride-to be. One size usually fits all. Some kimono silk robes are hand painted. They are elegant and classy and will make every woman feel geisha-chic. The delicately hand painted silk kimonos are inspired from well-known art collections from the silk capital of Hangchow, China. Each kimono that is hand painted by a master artisan has such careful detail , the full artwork on the kimono takes more than seven days to complete. Hand painted art is usually on the front and back. They are to be dry cleaned only. The traditional kimono silk robes are handmade on high quality silk jacquard to give it a comfortable, soft silky feel. They are mid calf and have such a graceful look about them. There are many types of silk fabrics that a kimono silk robe might be made in. Muga is one of the world treasures of fine wild silk fabrics. It is thought by some that this golden Muga silk is the fabled yellow silk that , in China , only the Emperor was permitted to wear. Tussah wild silk fabric is exceptional. Many have searched for years for a 100% tussah cloth, with tussah for both warp and weft, and with a balanced weave for maximum durability. The texture invigorates the wearer with quite a different sensation than the typical smooth silk. Cleopatra crepe silk fabric is a medium weight crinkle-crepe, with lots of body and a superb drape. The fabric starts out at 45inches wide, relaxed, with a stretch to 56 inches. After water washing, this shrinks to 32 inches width at rest, still able to stretch to 55 inches under tension. Eri peace silk fabric is approximately the same grist as the Pongee wild silk fabric but, being Eri silk, it's softer. Smoothly woven from fine two-ply yarns both warp and weft, and in a balanced weave for maximum durability. Heavy tussah is wild silk typically gathered in the jungle from cocoons of wild silkmoths. The fibre is sturdier then cultivated silk, so this fabric holds up very well to wear and washing. A light bleach gives this fabric a consistent cream color and makes it baby soft.
