This kimono is based on a second-hand kimono I saw at ichiroya.com (https://www.ichiroya.com/item/list2/432953/). It features fuji (wisteria) on the sleeves and upper body, and I believe the colors should match a color combination that is also called fuji (https://wafuku.wordpress.com/2011/05/15/japanese-colour-names-seasonal-combinations/). Fuji color combination is good for spring and I made it for in-game april.
The kimono was a houmongi kimono, but I thought it might also pass for a furisode so I made the obi musubi (obi knot) a fancier one. Ayaka musubi is one that I would very much like to try tying for real when I get the chance because it's so pretty. I'm surprised how well it succeeded with so few pixels.
The kanzashi are also meant to be trailing fuji (wisteria) blossoms.
The hair is done in the traditional shimada hairstyle. The collar is folded with the left side overlapping the right (as it should) and the back of the kimono is pulled down to reveal the nape of the neck. I've also made a faint line under the obi to indicate an ohashori fold. I drew the kimono before placing it on the player and the motiv on the ohashori fold is from the appropriate location. And finally, I've made her wear zori (nicer sandals) and white tabi (socks) as should be done with a more formal kimono.
Kimonos are a hobby of mine and I hope I've gotten most of the details right! ^___^
