The history of the Kimono
Originally, ‘Kimono’ was the Japanese word for clothing. In more recent years, the word now refers specifically to traditional dress.

Known as the straight-line cut method, pieces of fabric would be cut in straight lines and sewn together - in this way, kimono makers didn’t concern themselves with the shape of the wearer’s body.
