Thanx @JenniW , that's the one I ordered!!!!  Still would like to brighten my wardrobe, but figured the red abstract would work best with I already have.  

 

Are you going to give it a try?


I ordered that one too.  I love the vibrant colors.  I'm also thinking of ordering the black floral.  I have a black jumpsuit that this would look great with. 


@JenniW@Pecky , great minds think alike - huh ladiesWoman LOL!  @Pecky , I think that black floral would look great with black jumpsuit!!!!!  I'm still considering the patchwork 'cause I'd like to add in more softer colors for summer.  I basically wear tees, tanks and jeans; but that black floral is beautiful, not only for casual but also dressy!


@eddyandmeThe patchwork is beautiful too.  I like they all look great with jeans.  I plan on also wearing the black floral with white jeans. 


That'll look nice also, @Pecky ; also, great colors to wear with most 'dress' slacks!

Jane T.  mentioned she was wearing the regular xs size as she wanted a longer kimono than the petite.  Hope that helps.

I also ordered the Red Abstract and then said self what the heck and ordered the Black Floral also. I think I will get a lot of use out of these and I also have a Black Jumpsuit. Great idea about wearing one over it. Thanks 😊

If you like kimonos I would also suggest Bob Macklemore ones. I have a few and love them. Linea used to have some.


@traveler - How I wish I'd known about Linea when he designed kimonos!

 

I love kimonos. I taught in Japan. I bought a navy and white yukata (summer kimono) and another one while I was there. When I came back to the states the school gave me an elegant one made to order for me. It's beautiful. In the states I used to give talks about them for different groups and I always wear one when I demonstrate cooking or anything else to do with Japan. It's fun! I've let many students try them on, including the boys, which always gets laughs. 

 

I have a few from Susan Graver and other brands. 

 

I had to get the Japanese floral one, although I would have been happy with any of them! I wear mine with everything from a dress to capris or long pants in the summer, and once in a while with a long-sleeved dress in the colder months (if it looks OK). Smiley Happy

With the pants, "full on glamour".  No.  Full on clown.

 

LOL!

I ended up ordering the black floral, thinking that would be the most versatile with my existing wardrobe. Hope we all love it!

Re: The Tolani Kimono is Gorgeous!

I received my red abstract today and it is beautiful.  I have a pair of Side Stitch darker shade wide pants that it looks great with along with many other things.  I can't wait to get the black floral.  This will be a great alternative to wearing a cardi or jacket.

Re: The Tolani Kimono is Gorgeous!

I ordered the black floral and the red abstract.  I was thinking the same thing @Pecky  to wear instead of a cardigan or jacket which sometimes I don't feel like or the weather is too warm but I just need something to cover.
