Does anyone know where I can find a REAL pattern for a hikizuri kimono. I can't afford a real one so I was going to make one. But they are differnent then your typical kimono ( they have some sort of fold or flap at the shoulder and half way down the sleave.

Is this the dance where they are pretending to be two friends who met after long time and they are having a tea party to celebrate it? I guess it's the story!
