I ordered this Marla Wynne kimono robe in this cream. The print is beautiful! The material is so soft - silk charmeuse made of poly. I wear it as a duster, though, because the print is too pretty to just wear around my house.

It's on clearance now and also comes in a navy print:

@pinkmochi

i just received this a few days ago.

it really does feel like silk! it is a gorgeous piece for $40.99!

i may have to go back and get the navy also.

it is part of her lounge line, but this can easily be worn as a dressy piece.

@sunshine45 So glad that you like it, and it's such a great price! I agree that it can be dressed up or worn with jeans, even though it's part of her lounge line. The print really elevates it!

Hi Ladies, I am poking around over at Zulilly right now, they have a shop of just Kimonos all priced at 16.99 each. From what I see there are some really sharp looking ones. Have some fun, check them out!!

I have 2 Harve Bernard calf length from Evine and a tunic length I purchased at Zulilly, all 3 purchased early last summer so I really dont need anymore but if I did...

eta~ the shop is called 'Kimono With The Flow'

Thank you, The first video was most helpful. I purchased the G.I.L.I. kimono Leah wore the day the G.I.L.I. pants were a TSV. It just sort of hung; now I cannot wait to play with it.

What a fun idea and videos. I have various open duster jackets and have sewn my own cotton print kimono sleeve jacket years ago. I have bought kimono style jackets at H&M and Walmart Canada. I like to bring a kimono style shorter or mid length jacket when I visit Las Vegas as the air conditioning inside can be cold. I've even turned kimono bathrobes into streetwear open style jacket by taking off the belt loops and belt. I wear my kimono jackets with jeans.

My mom is Japanese so I've always been comfortable with the idea of wearing a kimono style jacket. My grandmother always wore one, she didn't wear western clothes at all.

You could teach us a lot about kimono's with your experience.

I have not worn my GILI kimono YET but I'm wear it SOON!!!

I just ordered my third duster and wonder what is wrong with my head. So far I've just worn them as robes around the house.

I love kimonos/wraps. Have a bunch that are mostly for winter. This summer I bought two from Amazon. If any of you watch Hot & Flashy from Youtube, she modeled a kimono in her lookbook for summer 2019 (Moss Rose-I think it is out of stock right now) that I just adored. I ordered it, and it is so pretty. It's pink, white and black. It's from Amazon and I paid about $22 for it. Since I mostly wear dressy things at church, I will wear it there. The other Kimona from Amazon was MYIFU in red.
