Kimono into wedding dress

Here is the kimono that I intend to use for my dress. I say "intend" because it will depend on whether the seamstress thinks we she can do it. I'm confident she can.

My idea is to use the parts with the decorations at the bottom of the dress. I also have some ideas about the design. Actually, some very specific ideas. We'll see...



The reception dress will be purple. I have fewer ideas about that one, but I do want to use this obi somehow. I just love it.
