Japanese × Western Wedding Attire: "Oriental Wedding Dress" ♡
Have you ever heard the term "Oriental Wedding Dress"?
An Oriental Wedding Dress refers to a dress transformed from a kimono, such as a furisode. It is also called a furisode dress.
The Oriental Wedding Dress was born from the desire to wear the kimono worn for the Coming of Age Ceremony or a kimono inherited from a mother or grandmother at the wedding!
It has been featured on TV and has become a hot topic.
Transforming into a Dress Just with the Power of Dressing ♩
The amazing thing about the Oriental Wedding Dress is that it transforms the kimono into a dress without cutting or sewing, using only dressing techniques.
Unlike "wa dress" or "kimono dress," which involves restructuring the kimono, the fabric remains intact, allowing you to wear it as a kimono again after enjoying the Oriental Wedding Dress*
While you may want to wear it as a dress for your wedding, you can also fulfill the wish of wanting your younger sister or daughter to wear it as a kimono in the future! ♡
Combining with a Dress is Stylish ♩
The Oriental Wedding Dress features a furisode styled like a dress, but many brides seem to wear it combined with a wedding dress.
The combination of a furisode and a wedding dress presents a long train emerging from beneath the kimono, creating a perfect blend of Japanese and Western styles!
The furisode is styled over the wedding dress to complete the look.
Be Particular About the Design of the Wedding Dress Hemline*
Pairing it with a luxurious mikado silk dress gives a noble impression, while combining it with a fluffy tulle dress results in a trendy and innovative look.
Brides Combine with Shiro-muku or Colored Dresses ♡
In addition to the combination of furisode and wedding dress, there are brides enjoying the Oriental Wedding Dress with shiro-muku or colored dresses as well ♡
Here, a lavender-colored dress is paired with a similarly light purple furisode for the Oriental Wedding Dress. The monochromatic combination of dress and furisode is incredibly stylish, resembling a Japanese Rapunzel! ♩
Oriental Wedding Dress is Perfect for Pre-Wedding Shoots too ♡
While the Oriental Wedding Dress is beautiful, it might be hard to give up on a traditional wedding dress or colored dress! For those brides, how about trying the Oriental Wedding Dress for a pre-wedding shoot?*
Photos wearing your memorable furisode as a dress will surely delight family members when shown to them. ♩
If You Don't Own a Furisode but Are Interested, Try a "Kimono Dress" *
If you're interested in the Oriental Wedding Dress but don't own a furisode, you can also opt for a "kimono dress (wa dress)."
A kimono dress is a dress made using the fabrics and patterns typically used for kimonos! ♡
The design, which borrows the best elements of Japanese and Western styles, is splendid!
