#143 Japanese Michiyuki
This
three-quarter length kimono-style jacket was worn for extra
warmth and/or protection while out and about. Its low, square
neckline was designed to attractively frame the overlapping
neckbands of the kimono and under-kimono worn underneath. Wear
it as a dressy overcoat, casual coat-dress, and artist's or work
smock, perfect for studio or garden tasks. Lengthened and made
out of water-repellent fabric, it also functions as a raincoat.
The pattern features a double-breasted front opening, kimono
style sleeves that are large enough to fit over a kimono
underneath, narrow neck band with mitered corners, and a handy
pocket hidden in the front seam. Covered buttons are decorative
only; snap fasteners attach the overlapping center front panels,
so no buttonholes are needed. Suggested Fabrics: Drapey fabrics
with body, such as rayon or silk crepe for the outer Michiyuki;
lightweight silk or cotton for the lining. NOTE: The Michiyuki
is typically made from unpatterned fabrics with a woven-in
design or texture, such as brocade. This is so the garment does
not clash with the more elaborate designs of the underlying
kimono. However, some Michiyuki fabrics have all-over designs
like small checks or narrow stripes. Satin gives a more formal,
dressy look. Microfibres and treated fabrics are good for a
raincoat.
