Patterns For Kimonos

Question: What fabric should I use for making my kimono?

Cotton? Silk? Brocades?
I have the patterns already and am planning on sewing one

Answer: It depends on what kind of kimono you're making. If you're making a yukata, you should use cotton. If you're making another kind of kimono you should probably aim for silk or polyester. Brocade would be a horrible idea -- the kimono would wind up looking fake and cheap.

Ideally, you would also use a bolt of authentic kimono fabric. You can get them from places like Ichiroya, Yamatoku, and Ryu Japan, and sometimes they come up on eBay as well.
